Why put off until tomorrow what I could do today? Because I am human. That's what we do! For Consumer Behavior, we have been given the assignment to complete 12 blog entries by the 22nd of April. That sure sounded like plenty of time in mid-January. I realized today that we only have 2 weeks left!!! Plenty of time still??
In the book
Predictably Irrational there was an entire chapter on the problem of procrastination and self-control. Based on his experiments, students who set up mini-goals and deadlines to meet the demands of a larger project were significantly more successful than those that attempted to finish the large project all at once.
He explained that it was also important to recognize our individual weaknesses in this area. That kind of sounds like an addiction to me. First, you must admit you have a problem. OK OK!
Hello. My name is Heather, and I am a habitual procrastinator. I need to complete the remaining 3 blog posts in the next 2 weeks.
Perhaps I will start tomorrow....
Haha this was hilarious, Heather! I loved the way you incorporated the info from Predictably Irrational, nice work. From one procrastinator to another, I'm stressed about finishing all of my blog posts too... :/
