I once had a professor that said the I procrastinate because I continue to be rewarded for my procrastination. Makes sense to me. If you could turn everything in late and still get A’s. wouldn’t you procrastinate, too? And yeah, I’m supposed to be cleaning the house for company right now. :)

1:13 to 1:31 is pretty much the UK’s most successful commercial ever – for BT (the UK’s equivalent of AT&T).

Bob Hoskins sat in a chair, facing the camera, and ALMOST began to say something several times throughout the commercial. It ended with him saying how annoying it is when you’re hoping to hear from someone but don’t.

It apparently took 10 minutes to shoot. Within seconds of the end of its firer airing, call levels shot up by something like 400%!

I believe ‘procrastination’ is better defined as ‘prioritizing’. It’s not necessarily that you don’t want to [clean your room / go through the bills / do yardwork / call back your mother-in-law who left you 5 messages just yesterday], but rather, you find something else you prioritize doing above whatever said thing, instead.

If you’d rather watch a movie over doing the dishes, you’re prioritizing (and justifying in your mind) that watching that movie is more important ‘right now’ than getting those dishes done. You’ll get to those dishes, eventually, but for right now …

Really, you can prioritize anything over anything else, and yes, the ‘anything else’ that got put off has just been procrastinated. But think of how often you do that, and with what. If there are obvious things you’re putting off, think of why, and think of how to get to them (if they really are THAT important).

Otherwise, now you have a [badly formed] habit!

how about a follow up with something that could actually help people not procrastinate?

Picture college like a battle field. Procrastination is the ENEMY, your self-discipline is your WEAPON, your grades are your WOMAN (the MOTIVATOR; that which you fight for), and the job you get afterwards is heaven (after your enemy KILLS you). Well, I want to live a little longer and enjoy my WOMAN!

Reminds me of a Physics presentation I gave my Senior year of high school. I sounded just like that. I still passed the class though!
