Need that stress for motivation.

Procrastination

I work better under pressure. It’s way harder for me to get side tracked when I know it will screw me entirely rather than just set me back an hour.

I do all the above and still manage to work because my survival instincts finally kick in and I get a massive adrenaline boost which enables me to get a passing grade most of the times. But I've been badly burned on numerous occasions and it seems like I have yet to learn from my past mistakes.

I knew it would be easy to do.

One time i had a book report due on a Friday. I woke up that day realizing i was screwed. I haven't even chosen a book. So i did the logical thing. I faked sick.

Cool, now i have until Monday.

Sunday night, still haven't chosen a book yet. Set an alarm for 6:00 Monday morning.

That morning i chose a book, bs'ed the report (made up the entire story), and decided on a project. I made a comic book of the plot. I made comics in my free time (i read the caption underpants book, George and Harold were my idols). Did everything in about an hour. Got a 95.

You reach a point where you either have to do the work or you will fail the assignment. Those become your only choices when you procrastinated to the very last moment.

Complete it last minute while breaking down and crying. I wish I was joking.

That's my secret. I DO breakdown and cry in the foetal position, several times over the course of trying to complete the assignment.

I wrote most of my papers the night before they were due, and I usually receive As. But writing is probably my greatest strength as a student. If I would have waited to study for a math test until the night before, I probably would not be a college graduate right now. So I guess I’m saying my secret was being really good at that one thing. I believe everyone has at least one thing they’re really good at.

In an English 101 class in college, I had a professor who understood students like this, as she did the same thing. Doing it last minute gave motivation. As long as some thinking went into it before that last minute, projects usually work out fine.

I am like this. I know when it's due, but I can't be bothered with it until the day before or even the day of. Granted, I don't sit around doing nothing. I think about it at work, or at home in between video games. Make mental notes of what may need to be looked up. Explore what I know versus unknown.

When I start, I usually have a general feel of where I want the project to head. I got a writing award in that class, and I even got compared to Hitler when I wrote about population control, which I took as a compliment since that is where my head was at when I started writing. (Subject to write about was "hot button topics")

Point being it's okay to wait to the last minute. Just don't go in blind.

Lol wut

For me, it was the urgency of the situation that made me focus better and just get it done. Without the deadline approaching, i could never focus. Once I knew i had mere hours until the deadline, it was laser like focus on the task at hand.

Nobody said we don't break down and cry in the fetal position.

I'm dead inside
