Procrastination 10/10

Procrastination: Is Your Future Self Getting a Bad Deal? by Timothy A Pychyl Ph. D explains why humans procrastinate and how it is affecting us. I attempt to overcome procrastination by telling myself that I can do whatever I want after I finish the task that I need to do that day. I just tell myself I just have to get through it. I procrastinate in a lot of different ways from having to do my homework or getting up in the morning, I procrastinate. What helps me not to procrastinate for school is to make a schedule of time to do my homework and breaks.

I blame my procrastination for being so stressed all the time. In my head I'm telling myself "You have so many things to do why not just sleep instead!" which is a horrible idea. I usually do overcome my procrastination sometimes, for example, for school when I know I need to do well to make a good grade. I agree with the author that we have a lack of special concern for future selves because we are worrying about others. I try to always make sure others are well before I start to take care of myself. I now know that I need to put myself first sometimes so I do not procrastinate.
