DiemetriX Posted November 19, 2008 Posted November 19, 2008 I need to Write a letter to a dear friend and confess some things, I need to reply to an email about a broken headset, and I need to change the bed lining. I think I'm gonna post here when I finally do it :P So my guess is that everyone of you is Procrastinating something right now. What is it?
Roostophe Posted November 19, 2008 Posted November 19, 2008 For me it's shaving. I need to shave. I've let my facial hair just grow and now I've got a full-blown bumfluff beard. A beard does not fit me at all, I like my face smooth, but I just can't be arsed to pick up a razor and shave.
EEVILMURRAY Posted November 19, 2008 Posted November 19, 2008 For me it's shaving. I need to shave. I've let my facial hair just grow and now I've got a full-blown bumfluff beard. A beard does not fit me at all, I like my face smooth, but I just can't be arsed to pick up a razor and shave. I'm doing something like that, but I'm also feeling a change of image. Letting my hair grow and my pr0 beard to finally reveal itself. That's right. Tonight N-E, I'm going to be... Jayseven.
Falcon_BlizZACK Posted November 19, 2008 Posted November 19, 2008 Hmm, I don't really Procrastinate much as the moment I wake up, i write a to-do list which I usually get done and in the alloted time... Though I do need to wash my whites, my darks and play a bit of OOT. :/
EEVILMURRAY Posted November 19, 2008 Posted November 19, 2008 When I'm meant to be doing something like an essay [which at present I don't need to for the foreseeable future] I always notice how disorganised my room is...
DiemetriX Posted November 19, 2008 Author Posted November 19, 2008 I allways find thousands of things to do when I have something I should do :P Strange how cleaning normally goes before school work, but if you have cleaning to do you normally do something else instead.
Paj! Posted November 19, 2008 Posted November 19, 2008 I'm a chronic procrastinator. Can't help it. Unless I think it'll be quick and easy, in which case I'll do it that night. Otherwise, if an English essay is due in next week, i'm not gonna start it until at most, 2 days before.
Jav_NE Posted November 19, 2008 Posted November 19, 2008 Same here, i'm a very bad procrastinator. I cant work unless there is a little stress involved. It is annoying though becauce you know it would be better to get things out of the way early, you just cant convince yourself to agree with yourself! People who are organised, like my g/f for instance, don't particularly like it either. They dont understand, they think its laziness but thats just not the case :p
Dannyboy-the-Dane Posted November 19, 2008 Posted November 19, 2008 I'm terrible at procrastinating. I can't focus enough if I'm not under time pressure. And if I can't focus, my work doesn't become very good. I can also relate to DiemetriX' problem: I always get a thousand things done that I wouldn't normally do when I've got a large homework assignment or something similar.
GothicPlague Posted November 19, 2008 Posted November 19, 2008 I procrastinate so much in fact I'm meant to be doing javascript in my lesson at the moment. I've been reading this site instead.
ReZourceman Posted November 19, 2008 Posted November 19, 2008 Ive been meaning to make this thread but kept putting it off.
Dannyboy-the-Dane Posted November 19, 2008 Posted November 19, 2008 Ive been meaning to make this thread but kept putting it off. Meta-procrastination? Right, I should probably get back to reading that book for tomorrow ...
Rummy Posted November 19, 2008 Posted November 19, 2008 Ive been meaning to make this thread but kept putting it off. Genius. As for me, procrastination is like my main occupation in life. It's amazing though, I can do amazing things whilst I'm procrastinating. I once, instead of doing my ICT excel project, created a badass spreadsheet to calculate my pay, which served me all through my old job. I once did a paintjob on a gamecube, turning it entirely gold, from which I learnt Gamecubes are a bitch to take apart. I did that this year instead of my dissertation. Last year instead of revising for exams as much as I should have, I learnt to solve rubik's cubes in less than 5 minutes. I could probably run a small nation, if I wasn't supposed to be doing that at the time. And at the moment? I've been meaning to apply for a job for like a month, but can't bring myself to actually write a proper up to date CV and a cover letter for it. I did some of the CV on monday night, but that's only cos I was at work and probably should have been doing something else. It's also taken me about 20 minutes to write this post.
Jimbob Posted November 19, 2008 Posted November 19, 2008 I just keep thinking about all the games i have to beat and what to do when i get home. None of what i think to do i actually do until the next day usually.
Jonnas Posted November 19, 2008 Posted November 19, 2008 I should be writing a report right now. And yeah, I'm Procrastination in person most of the time.
Shorty Posted November 19, 2008 Posted November 19, 2008 Uni essays. I just won't do them until there's not quite enough time to do them well.
Molly Posted November 19, 2008 Posted November 19, 2008 I've been a serial procrastinator all my life, through school, Uni and now do it when looking for a grad job. When I was at uni one of my favourite essay procrastination techniques was making Tipp-ex art on Post-it notes. Yep.
jayseven Posted November 19, 2008 Posted November 19, 2008 Ditto shorty (and EEVIL, by default I guess...) I'm putting off doing my washing, shaving, getting a haircut, getting a job, doing my essay, tidying my room, calling my parents, christmas shopping, fixing my hearing aid, checking if the doctor's have the results of a blood test, booking an opticians, booking a dentists, arranging gig outings, going food shopping, writing a letter to a good french-canadian friend of mine that i promised to do like six months ago... then on a smaller scale, it's getting up and getting dressed and eating every day. Meh.
Mundi Posted November 19, 2008 Posted November 19, 2008 Pretty much what has been said. I blame it on the amount of bad fanfiction out there that is taking my time.
arab_freak Posted November 19, 2008 Posted November 19, 2008 I'm surprised nobody has mentioned Facebook so far.
Molly Posted November 19, 2008 Posted November 19, 2008 Oh yeah, at uni facebook was a massive distraction. Used to have full blown conversations MSN styleee with people less than 10 yards away. Loved it, even though it probably cost me a fair few marks here and there.
ReZourceman Posted November 19, 2008 Posted November 19, 2008 And now you're significantly more than 10 yards from them you never touch it. Slacker McGee.
Molly Posted November 19, 2008 Posted November 19, 2008 Not a fan of it anymore, maybe one day I'll get back into it.
Nami Posted November 19, 2008 Posted November 19, 2008 Why am I the only looser who doesn't do this (much)?! It's a rare occasion me putting something off, I always do things too early and then don't chill when Iv'e done eveythin!! That's uni work tho and Lush stuff, but I guess I do sometimes with house work, I'm a student, if it wasn't messy I'd be too weird!!
Guest Jordan Posted November 19, 2008 Posted November 19, 2008 I don't put anything off if I can help it. I do it asap and sort it asap. I guess that why i work in tech support...
