Why do I procrastinate doing my college essays?

I used to say that I do my best work under pressure. Then I realized what I meant was that it takes pressure for me to do my work. You put it off until you have NO choice, because otherwise, you do have choices. As profound as that just sounded, think of it as an accomplishment rather than a chore. Then rather than turn in something that was just thrown together at the last minute, turn is something exceptional. The pride you feel from that will be a rush like no other!!

do all your homework first before doing anything else like watching tv...trust me, I'm a huge procrastinator and i'm still learning how to manage my time also\n\ni know it's hard to follow my advice but when you actually follow through, you'll feel so thankful...bcuz then u can have time to do fun things\n\ni'm in high school and this year has been really stressful and i try to not procrastinate as much...if i don't do hw until the last minute, i am staying up all night...i've pulled so many all-nighters, even staying up as late as 4 am (and i only got 2 hours of sleep)...\ndon't do the same thing i did (staying up) cuz you'll just feel like crap when u go to school that morning\n\nso, DO HOMEWORK RIGHT AWAY AND DON'T PUT IT OFF TO THE LAST MINUTE!!! or else your grades will suffer!\n\nhope this helps...=]

It's the first deadline you have to meet. It could and probably would exclude or at the very least minimize your chances for a scholarship. Don't procrastinate, if you want it go for it like yesterday!

You should write your own. Be creative and let your words and thoughts flow onto the paper instead of being lazy.

ok,... from what i understand from that, is when u want something or when you're studying, you remove your hair from impatience or lack of concentration. You shouldn't do that, because it makes you look like a freak if u pull more hair out.. simply try to concentrate on the task at hand, and if you can't, do something else for the time being, and when you have enough concentration, go back to your initial task...

I used to blame it on my parents divorce which had nothing to do with it. I am a procrastinator in the wrost degree. It always worked though that's for sure. They would be insensitive to disagree or yell at you.

Procrastination is the avoidance of doing a task which needs to be accomplished. This can lead to feelings of guilt, inadequacy, depression and self-doubt among students. Procrastination has a high potential for painful consequences. It interferes with the academic and personal success of students.\n\n\nHow to Overcome Procrastination:\n\nRecognize self-defeating problems such as; fear and anxiety, difficulty concentrating, poor time management, indecisiveness and perfectionism. \nIdentify your own goals, strengths and weaknesses, values and priorities. \nCompare your actions with the values you feel you have. Are your values consistent with your actions? \nDiscipline yourself to use time wisely: Set priorities. \nStudy in small blocks instead of long time periods. For example, you will accomplish more if you study/work in 60 minute blocks and take frequent 10 minute breaks in between, than if you study/work for 2-3 hours straight, with no breaks. Reward yourself after you complete a task. \nMotivate yourself to study: Dwell on success, not on failure. Try to study in small groups. Break large assignments into small tasks. Keep a reminder schedule and checklist. \nSet realistic goals. \nModify your environment: Eliminate or minimize noise/ distraction. Ensure adequate lighting. Have necessary equipment at hand. Don't waste time going back and forth to get things. Don't get too comfortable when studying. A desk and straight-backed chair is usually best (a bed is no place to study). Be neat! Take a few minutes to straighten your desk. This can help to reduce day-dreaming. \n\n\nStudy Skills Self-help Information:\nhttp://www.ucc.vt.edu/stdysk/stdyhlp.html

Sadly, most procrastinators are prefectionists. \n\nTo stop the procrastination you have to give up some of the perfection.

start writing on the computer. keep writing until you have said everything you want to say. then go back over an read it. move things around into the position you want then use the rules for a standard essay. Its easy and fast. I got Through college doing it myself with honors no less.

I also think that we procrastinators have a bit of what I call overwhelm syndrome... It's not an official term, it's just what I call being really overwhelmed.  We procrastinate and procrastinate and THEN we have a TON of stuff to do, and then we are so overwhelmed by it all, we don't know where to start!\n\nSelf talk and discipline is really important.  Making lists.. REALISTIC lists that you can get done that day.  Like don't put 50 things on the list because you want to 'take care' of all the procrastination issues you have been 'avoiding' in the last 6 months.. you'll fail, and then while you may have achieved a significant amouont of stuff, you won't have completed your list, so then you'd be unmotivated to go that round again.\n\nBe advised.. making a list doesn't 'fix it' in a day or a week.. and the first lists you make WILL be too long because of all the things you WANT to do.. don't get discouraged, everything worth doing in life takes work :)  Be patient and reward yourself lots!\n\nGood Luck!

I see no legal reason to prevent your doing this but I wonder why you would want to do it. You write well and are likely ready to tackle college level work. Why not apply to college and complete your freshman year next year?

You are probably frustrated because you don't focus on your work, procrastinate, and you should do whatever it is that you have to do earlier so you won't be frustrated.
