I woke up early this morning so I could wash my hair before work, but then I opened my laptop. It all went down hill from there. I kept saying, "Ok, half an hour more. Ok ten more minutes. Ok after my coffee." Now I just gave up. Guess I'll do it after work?

So tell me about your latest procrastination disaster.

Yesterday I was chatting with a friend before she headed out to come see me. We were joking about how the last fifteen minutes before leaving to catch the bus always went by the slowest. I joked that I always think that, then I won't give myself enough time to actually get ready and end up rushing at the last minute, even though I spent the last ten doing absolutely nothing. ...I then proceeded to do exactly that and had to frantically rush out the door to go and meet her on time. XD

I am a procrastination master. My work is very lax about internet usage so some days I'll procrastinate everything on my to do list and end up surfing the internet all day. It's soooo bad. If it's 2:50 I'll tell myself I'll start working at 3:00. Next time I look at the clock it's 3:01...welp, missed my cutoff, might as well keep surfing! Another example is working for a few minutes or getting a task done and rewarding myself with an hour of internet time.

I work best under pressure anyway so I'll get one week's worth of stuff done in a few hours.

There are times my procrastination depresses me because sometimes I feel like my brain literally stops me from getting anything done. It's like I have some weird mental block. I read an blog recently that discussed how procrastination is not the same thing as laziness and it made me feel a lot better. http://thoughtcatalog.com/david-cain/2013/02/procrastination-is-not-laziness/

Just graduated, but my last quarter of the school year there wasn't a single assignment I didn't turn in late! Thank god my professors were kind enough on the point deductions afterwards. Part of it might be me not wanting to move back home, heh.

I'm working on a drawing for someone right now...well, I would be were I at home, but I'm at work right now. I say I'm working on it, but honestly, I keep having bouts of depression lately and so I just can't make myself do anything lately. I guess that's...medical procrastination or something?

I procrastinated turning in my research paper for English until 3 hours before it was due. Got an amazing grade; however, I wish I had finished it earlier, as it cut into my vacation time.

, I have suffered from depression as well and it will make a person not want to do ANYTHING at all. I've legit stayed in bed all day when I have at least 5 things to accomplish that day.

And it's not something that can be understood unless you've experienced it - I'll bet you've had people ask you 'Why don't you just cheer up and go do something?' Amirite? Nice to know there's someone else who understands.

This. So much. I'm almost always the "I can do that later" person. And most of the things will never be done then because I spend my free time watching video game Let's Plays on Youtube. XD

No I am German and mostly watch German Let's Players, especially Gronkh (in my signature XD) and Heringway. I've watched 1 or 2 videos of Markiplier and I'm not really liking his style of entertaining, sorry to say that. But each to their own I guess. I think many people don't like Gronkh as well, and he is by far one of the most famous German Youtuber, of not the most famous Let's Player. :D

So many times! "Just redirect your thoughts, think of happy things, why can't you snap out of it?" I agree with the statement that people just can't understand it unless they've been there. Luckily, I have an amazing group of supportive family and friends who have either suffered from it or take the time to try to understand. OAN: I love your HA!

haha same! When I was in school I would wait until like the night before or even the day of a project being due to do it... Now on here I find myself flying through quests at like 11pm before they reset.

Its like we lead the same life. If I wasnt doing a project the night before, It was being turned in 20 days later for half credit (yes that has happened so many times xD)

And I dont know how I can be on here for like half a day and still dont start quest till 11... but I do it all the fricken time and sometimes run out of time xD

Awe darn xD I love Mark!!! (He is such a good looking man, and his cheesy jokes do make me laugh sometimes!)

I have never heard of that lets player... But I do love watching a lot of them, might have to check him out! ^-^ Mark is really the only mainstream lp I like though. Not a pewdie fan at all.

I procrastinate with everything. Why do today what you can put off til tomorrow lol. I remember a few times in school waiting til the very last minute and sometimes I wouldn't even turn stuff in because I accomplished nothing with it.

A few times my mom had to wake me up early to finish projects. One time my parents woke me up and we did an entire science fair project, that was mandatory, like an hour and a half before I had to get to school it was intense lol. She had to wake me up a few times to finish reading books that were mandatory too and a few just weren't even interesting to me so I struggled to get through them, which is actually really sad because I love to read. I also remember in high school I had to make a senior memory book and the night before I asked my mom for pictures. She scrambled all around the house finding them for me and I felt so bad XD

I think my problem is if someone tells me to do something I just get super lazy and have no motivation lol.

I think I was going to quest today, but well now it's the next day on here and I didn't finish 1 quest XD I probably will end up doing the same tomorrow. I have days where I am pumped and hyped for doing stuff, but my lazy days are more frequent.

Wow this ended up being longer than I thought oops.

He looks good, I give him that yes. But mainly something about his voice puts me off. Also he seems to "scream" randomly sometimes, which really scares me then because I have extremely sensible ears. That's the main reason why I only watch Let's Players with nice dark voices and who never really scream so loud. Gronkh and Heringway are two of these. <3 Also, Gronkh is pretty much mainstream, never thought I'd watch his videos one day because 4 years ago I only had Heringway and thought "one is enough", well and now I have two channels to follow and watch. :'D

Also, both are looking super hot, huge bonus. ;D

Probably not! The more things I can get done while procrastinating, the more I feel like it's ok. Not the best mindset to have.
