The majority of people always say that they want to live the moment, forget about their future for a second and just relax a little bit. However, in today’s society, we have lots of work to catch up with. From our homes to offices, daily struggles don’t seem to let us live by the motto, “carpe diem.” Nevertheless, it’s in the human nature to interpret commands as challenges, so we do the opposite of what daily struggles want us to do and we procrastinate. Procrastination is doing the most enjoyable thing at the moment and delaying the less attractive ones to another time. Let’s say you have homework to do for tomorrow but also HBO didn’t show you what happened to Daenerys Targaryen at the last episode of Game of Thrones so you are crawling to see it tonight. Just do it! What can you possibly loose right? As fun as it seems, unfortunately, you have things to loose. Sadly, a lot of people suffer from procrastination and its integrated to their lives. Causes of procrastination are fear of outcome and lack of motivation which results in losing your precious time through it. …show more content…
Exams, job applications, mortgage approvals, marriage consents and much more have outcomes that may or may not disturb us; however, a much more disturbing thing is not having any knowledge about them! The obscurity about outcomes gives us stress, depression, and anxiety, and that is the reason why people putt off impediment responsibilities. You have to cut it off before it starts to grow, right? That’s exactly what people think about their responsibilities. They delay what could eventually get on their nerves, make their heads hurt because of overthinking and exhaust them. Procrastination seems like a nice way to relax sometimes to them but they are actually running away from responsibilities which will eventually threaten their “relaxed” way of living. “Carpe diem” doesn’t stand for it, does
It was eleven o’three when I finally started my homework. It was official; I was in the fourth, final, and worst stage of procrastination, the crisis stage. I was exhausted, just trying to finish solving all the problems, and not even checking to see if any of them were right. It seemed no matter how many times I had to suffer the consequences of procrastination, I still chose the easy way, or at least it was easy for a while, until I had virtually no time left and had to rush to get it done.
If I knew that I would be away from home all day at a marching band competition on Saturday, then I would need to schedule time during the week and Sunday to work on projects or studying for tests. I could no longer procrastinate until the last minute, or I would end up getting only one or two hours of sleep. Because of marching band, I changed my habits of procrastination and transformed into a schedule-oriented
I have felt the pressure of an upcoming due date; the stirring in the pit of my stomach, the swift kick in the side for not completing an assignment, forcing its way back up, screaming, “I know you didn’t forget about me!”. It was not until this year that I have decided to take action in how I manage my time. For most people, they will look for brain-boosting drugs to curve the consequences of procrastination. The misuse of Adderall, a most commonly prescribed stimulant to treat Attention-Deficit Disorder, is a growing on U.S. college campuses.

To: Mrs. Vanderhaar April,----- , 2017 Dear, Mrs. Vanderhaar I would like to talk to you about maybe changing our hours for school. Here are some reasons why, 1 if we woke up later than we could get our homework done in the morning so we can have it ready for school that day. 2. If we woke up later people could get more sleep and not get sick from being tired. 3 kids would have a lot of sleep so they might not be so cranky, so they would not get into a lot of trouble.
Over the past 6 months, you have probably seen a child handling the “satisfying” mixture known as slime. If you're an adult, you probably don't understand the infatuation children have with it, so I'm here to tell you why it's important to our lives. Usually, parents hate it when their kids are bent over their phones, and do nothing else the whole day; slime has the answer to their problem. Slime can be used to give your children a break from using electronics; making it only takes up about 5 minutes, so you have the rest of the time to play with it! Another way that slime can reduce screen time is that after studying, children often go to their electronics for a break, but slime is a much better alternative because you can stop it any time

Introduction Good morning everyone. I’m Nur Atiqah binti maznan and today I will deliver a speech title ‘People should care more about sleep’ Most of us in this class will say that we not get enough sleep because of all assignments, lab reports and so on like just now. So, we called this situation as sleep deprivation which means a condition where people not get enough sleep. We are in the same shoes, so no worries. A research from Brown University stated that, from a survey they conducted to a group of college student, 11% student have a good sleep but the rest which is 73% from the same study were found to have a sleep problem.
“The time that you enjoy wasting is not a waste of time.” – Bertrand Russel Busy lives, overfull schedules and overflowing to-do lists – being stretched is the new normal. Sometimes, it seems that being super-busy is necessary for social acceptance. However, keeping this social conditioning aside we all must take a moment to set aside this ‘business of busyness’ and take a moment to do things that we truly enjoy. Why?
My concept of procrastination was that mine wasn’t all that bad, that I didn’t procrastinate that much. So that meant in my mind that deadlines weren’t that big of a thing to worry about. I would get the work done in time for it even if the work was thrown together last minute. Time also seems to become a less intimidating thing.
I witnessed firsthand how procrastinating had made my life and the life of those around me so much harder and stressful than it needed to be. I have struggled with my bad habit of procrastinating for a long time and although it has gotten better, I still haven’t completely overcome it. It’s something that affects my life everyday. Not only that, but it’s a conscious decision I still choose most of the time. It makes my life harder and isn’t beneficial in anyway, but I just can’t seem to stop procrastinating.
People often put off important tasks, whether it’s something easy or challenging, until the last minute. It’s not something to be proud of, but it’s not something that one can easily overcome. As most know, procrastination, according to the online Cambridge Dictionary, is the act of delaying something that must be done, often because it is unpleasant or boring. Although many dawdle due to psychological factors, more people, especially students, now find themselves being drawn to ongoing distractions from advancing technology and easy access to social media platforms that are affecting GPAs, sleep patterns, and general health. Technology was initially developed to help individuals to be more efficient with their tasks.
Why not you? It is a disease that has eaten wide and deep into our moral standard which requires immediate and diligent actions. It is not our fault but, nonetheless, we still have to deal with it. Procrastination has its personal price; it makes us miss, lose and suffer.
