My Procrastination

I. Introduction

I have been intending to write this English essay for months. Why am I finally doing this now? Because some uncommitted time comes to me finally? Wrong, it’s just meeting the”DEADLINE”! That is why I am a procrastinator. Everything is put off for tomorrow which should be done today, so the inevitable pain is postponed for the current moment of pleasure. I've long been overwhelmed by the unwieldy list of goals that would sit, unaccomplished, in a long-term to-do list day after day. Even if I can manage to put it out of my minds for the present, it will eventually come around to bite me and disturb my external calm demeanor. So I should overcome my procrastination because it is the worst habit against self-control, efficient study and an optimistic life attitude.

As a procrastinator, there are some of the symptoms of mine:

II. T hree symptoms of procrastination

1.low self-control

Procrastination is the needless postponement of completing tasks, especially out of habit. Regularly when I procrastinate, it is due to my low self-control, including weak consciousness, deficient organization skills and self-deceptive excuses.

A. lack of managing time

Speak frankly, managing time is really a challenge to me. The nicest part about waking up early is that it is quiet and still while I am concentrated on a few big tasks and getting a bunch of work done in the fresh early morning that would have taken many more hours during the bustle of the day. So I set up a morning alarming as a daily reminder that I could be waking at 6:30 in the morning, but the ”snooze” function always destroys my beautiful

picture. Because every time the alarm clock rings, I'm always half-awake and pressing the snooze button with my eyes closed just to enjoy even five more minutes’ sleeping.

B. lack of organization

I am just “Fail to Plan and Plan to Fail” all the time. Tasks are forgotten and deadlines are missed frequently for my disorganized and muddled schedule. At the end of each semester to survive exam season, what’s the symptom of my disorganization?It's jumping from one idea to another and to another with my poor prioritization. I have lectures to attend, homework to do, papers to write. It’s doing ei ght things at once and not getting one done. During these days, it's a complete mess.

C. too many excuses

We have all heard the excuses. As for me, lack of time is the most popular excuse banded about for not getting things done. However, the truth is I am not being able to get started. I am avoiding doing the thing because I don't really want to, although realizing rather hunker down and get to work than make up new ones. Every weekend, I tend to read some major-related books, but there are gatherings, shopping plans and blockbuster films coming to me, my learning plan always be laid aside because of these coming excuses.

2.poor efficient study

Despite low self-control, inefficient study also contributes to my procrastination. Being busy doesn’t equate to being efficient.

A. lack of vision

Not having a clear vision for the task is one of the biggest reasons I procrastinate. If not having a clear picture of all that needs to be achieved, not seeing the benefits of completing certain tasks, how would I start them? So I am invariably the last one to be motivated to get going and get things done. Last Monday, a report about software testing was of urgent need,
