Procrasination. What is it? Why are some of us so good at it??? I'm doing it as I'm blogging about this because I'm reluctant in writing a literature review which I've set a goal to get done by the end of this week. I think while I know if i get to work and get it done by my set goal time, then it will be ideal for me to leave the rest of next week to study for finals. But noo, maybe I need that added pressure in order to get things going so then I can reflect back and say "I knew I should have finished it earlier!" Psychologists say that "procrasination is a coping mechanism for anxiety associated with starting or completing a task." As a result, individuals end up feeling guilty, stressed and lacking personal productivity which ends up to even more of a inability to start/complete what they intend to do. Another trait that procrasination may reflect undoubtingly is: Perfectionism. In no way am I perfect but I guess that strive for perfection does play into my procrasination for certain tasks.
At least I have two sentences written, isn't that a start?
