It’s 7:00 PM; one game of League of Legends won’t hurt. It’s 8:00 PM; time for dinner. It’s 8:30; time to play some 2K12. It’s 10:00; I’ll only be on Facebook for ten minutes. It’s 11:00; is there any food in the fridge? It’s 12:00; this Youtube video looks interesting… Its 1:00; oh man I have an essay to do.
Procrastination has always been a weakness of mine. Whether it be essays, homework, or studying for tests; I always wait until the last minute. Just two days ago I waited until the day before to study for my Art History midterm. I felt like I did well enough to receive a decent grade, but I could have done better if I hadn’t procrastinated. Even now, I’m typing up this monologue at 11:00 PM.
Procrastination will be the end of me; especially now that I’m in college. It should be diagnosed as a disease or something. Symptoms include prolonged delaying of work, and lack of sleep. Medication for procrastination would be the best invention ever. Some NZT for my lack of focus would be nice too. My lack of focus is amazing: a minute break from a paper I’m doing can lead to two hours of unproductive Youtubing, but I guess that can also be considered procrastination. Should I try to break away from procrastination? Certainly. How do I? No clue. How do other people deal with procrastination? Same way I have learned to. Accept and embrace it.
Hey, add me on LoL 🙂

Hi Owen,
Thanks for being so open and honest. Remember, knowing your weakness is half the battle. Have you thought about ways you can actually alter your procrastination instead of just accepting it?
