I am encouraged by reading what others are going through since right now, I am trying my best to stop that habit of procrastination. I have procrastinated for long until I own no property, it has started even worrying me so much. I know if we persist, we will make it because there is nothing impossible with God.

i guess i can consider myself as a "successful procrastinator," as in even if i do an assignment the morning it is due (e.g. this six page biodiversity species crisis paper which was assigned to me at the beginning of the semester), i usually end up doing well anyway (i got an A). it pays off every time and it seems i'm only getting better at doing things at the last minute and getting away with it. maybe its the adrenaline that gets me to work extra hard, i don't know. still, i wish i had better work habits. i have pulled way too many all-nighters to count, and i'm sure it's going to affect my health sooner or later. i know i need self-discipline most to solve this problem, but i'm still postponing working on that...

I'm writing a term paper on procrastination - well, I should be writing. Instead I'm adding this comment to kill some time. SHAME!
 
Omar 2008-11-17 08:49:40 CET   83174
This is killing me! Help! I can;t overcome this procrstination no matter what I do (or don't do). I'm going to kill myself if I don't overcome this anytime soon.

I am a 43 year old successful businesswoman and have been a procrastinator all my life. As a student I was notorious for pulling all nighters before a test or paper was due. In my career I have continued that trend working diligently into the night to finish presentations or speeches. Growing older has allowed me to know myself better and understand that this is part of my creative process - I get a rush from the pressure and have consistenly delivered very good work. I\\\'m not condoning procrastination or saying it is good for everyone - just saying it shouldn\\\'t be treated as a blanket affliction either. Carl Jung\\\'s theories and MBTI really helped me in this journey - I highly recommend it to anyone wanting to understand why you do what you do. Cheers

I never used to be such a bad procrastinator..until a year ago. I can't seem to concentrate on anything anymore! I know I have work to do, and I know very well work needs to be done but I just can't get myself to do it! I suppose I do get my work done, but at the very last minute (literally, I stay up all night scurrying to meet those deadlines). I really want help, but I can't find any! I am feeling so depressed and hopeless.

I go though periods of extreme procrastination and then pull myself out of it for a while, I can really see how it affects my potential for success in most facets of my life particularly career. I think that it is very possible with the right information to get on top of it - keep trying

I too am a procrastinator. In fact, I am in process right now. It appears I am part of a large club. This should be a comfort but actually I am more anxious than usual as it seems that folks like me are not easily, if at all, "cured" of this nasty habit.

I think I procrastinate due to anxiety (have been dxed with generalized anxiety disorder), fear of failure, inability to ask for support (for fear of looking incompetent). I think I live life with "imposter syndrome" - what if they realize I am not as clever, competent (your word here) as they thought (whoever they are).

This problem is affecting all of my life, most particularly my worklife. I am behind schedule on most of my tasks - not helping in the anxiety department. I sleep to avoid life. I gaze at nothing for extended periods.

HELP!!!!

I am somewhat of a "reformed procrastinator"-- when I was 23, I decided I didn't want to live like that anymore, and I got help and have spent the last 10 years working very hard, daily, not to let my procrastination habits rule me. And I have been very successful, for the most part-- sure, I give in every now and again, but I made a choice to change and I did it. Thank God, because my life was going down the tubes.
So what's my problem NOW...? My fiance's procrastination. It's so much worse than mine ever was, so deep-seated, it completely rules him. He knows he needs help, but other than taking Adderall (which helps a little, but doesn't solve the underlying problem) he refuses to get help. Not in an overt, "I'm not getting help" way, but in the procrastinator's special way: "I know, I know, I'm sorry, I really need help, I'll look into it............................................"

It's awful, and I've tried to help him, but if he won't help himself, I've got to get out. I've lived through this once already... I hate living through it a second time. I hope he checks out this website.

I've been procrastinating for five years and its been really upsetting me as to how much my life is messed up by it. I am failing in life and I don't have the will to try anymore. Right know I care little about whether I live or die because of my failures.
 
Fingers McGee 2007-04-20 16:04:58 CET   43522
Yea so I procrastinate to much and yea its kick ass. Right now I'm in creative writing class well yea not writing cause its what I do best. Anyway its way to easy for high school kids to get caught up in all this shit and its just way to hard to work on anything I mean cmon you got girls to look at and homework to not get done and classes that just suck to much to pay attention in and then parties and everything that a sweet high school kid can think of. Anyway it does help because I can't do all my work over a long period of time I almost need to have it due and then late and then be like yea I can get this shit done now so its good in the long run and I'll probally never find this site again because I'm to damn lazy to write down the address cause yea. Anyway its good and if it hurts you STOP THAT SHIT.

I'm an awful procrastinator my self. Im doing a degree in psychology and im in my final year. my thesis is a research project (experiment) and i have chosen procrastination as my topic! Im testing to see if active and passive (Chu & Choi, 2005)procrastinators are similar in their levels of happiness. Active procrastinators are "successful" procrastiators, as in, they get away with it and passive procrastinators are the ones who stress and fail. I'm probably somewhere in the middle. I sometimes stress and i sometimes don't get things done. I'd say most procrastinators are there or there abouts. Keep the faith!

(sorry for my English, I'm French...)
I'm 21 and I've been a procrastinator for 5 years now. It started in high school, then I had kind of a "break" during my 3 years at University (because in France teachers don't know you, and nobody "realises" that you don't study...) except of course in times of exams, but I managed anyway, and quite well...
I saw a psychologist for 2 years but the problem is still not solved : I would even say it's worse and worse... Mostly because I am preparing competition exams at the moment, in a special school (to become a journalist) and with the "pressure", my procrastionation is bigger than ever. Nobody in France knows and cares about procrastination, nobody can understand me, and I'm feeling so lonely and abandonned to my anguish and distress.
I've always succeeded in everything, I've never needed any help, and now it's hard to see that procrastination is ruining my dream (to become a journalist) and is leading me to a proper nervous beakdown.
I feel terrible, and I just don't know what to do.

Procrastination has really messed me up in the past and even now things get overwhelming. Slowly i've been trying things to help the situation and some have been helping. One thing that was a real turning point for me was procrastination not coming from me but from someone else because it directly affected me and i saw how far behind i had gotten by procrastinating myself. I still need a lot of help but i'm working on it.

Procrastination is destroying my life and has had disastrous results at work, in school, and now even threatens my child custody situation. If there's any salvation to be had by hitting bottom, I don't see how much farther down I can go. I've been to psychiatrists and counsellors many times over the past 15 years, and while I have had success in alleviating depression and anxiety symptoms, I haven't been able to make any progress with procrastination or the reality-based anxiety and depression that it produces. According to the relevant tests I am highly intelligent, creative, and socially outgoing, and the ADHD screening tests I've taken have come up negative. I somehow keep believing I will improve and am basically an optimistic person, but 25 years out from high school with no progress makes it hard to keep despair at bay. If anyone has any advice or suggestions, feel free to contact me at derrickp@infinet.net.
 
I'm Stuck 2006-04-25 23:18:25 CET   20263
I am an intelligent person and am capable of accomplishing a lot more than I currently am doing. I'm stuck in a dead-end job and truly want to strike out and have a little business of my own (even on the side to start out). I have read and researched for a number of YEARS getting prepared to start a little business...but I just can't seem to get myself to do it. I read somewhere that in some individuals "the fear of loss is a greater motivator than the potential for gain". I think that this has somewhat to do with a lack of confidence/self esteem and the fear of failure. What I don't know is how to deal with it and MOVE ON!!! Has anyone found a resource that can help with this "I want to, but just can't make myself do it" problem?

Right now I am working on a Speech that is two weeks late and I am just now starting on it... My speech make up is today and I have less than an hour to finish it. All the while I'm only moderately anxious.

I also have a major project that is due in two hours and I'm not even going to work very much on it at all.

I am throwing my education down the drain, because I don't feel like working on it. When the deadline is up I think about it and then assure myself that it's too late so I don't even bother to work on it. This has become a habit and I'm flunking out of college because of it.
 
i can't believe it 2006-04-14 19:24:32 CET   19594
