Re: [a-i-m] procrastination

A lot of people suffer with procrastination.  The question I have is, "Do you always get things done, but at the last minute?"
Some of us work better under pressure.
You can change this scenario if you want to.  You are aware of it happening, and you merely have to do things sooner.  I know this is easier said than done.  But, try it...........Mary Ann

minute at crunch time.

Everytime I do this, I freak out at the end and panic and rush to get
things done on time. I tell myself, I will be more proactive, but it
seems unless there is a negative sense of urgency, I am not getting
it done.

It is so bad, that I have billable work to do (money for me if I get
it done) but it is not getting done.

Despite knowing the potential outcomes and the insuing panic, I
continue in this viscious cycle all the time.

Right now, I should be writing a letter for a class, but I have yet
to start. I have good thoughts of what to say, but when it comes to
putting them to paper, the thoughts evade me and my paper is blank
(as well as my mind).

For the most part, yes, I wait until the crisis of last minutes. In some cases, I wait beyond that point. I come up with some excuse as to why it is late,...
