What is procrastination In laymen's terms procrastination is simply putting off something you have to do until the very last minute There are 6 stages of procrastination
1. False security • Usually occurs right after the assignment has been assigned • The person seems to think they have a lot more time than they actually do • Soon the assignment takes backseat
2. Laziness • Thinking you have ample time to waste will eventually leads to laziness • Not only is the person not doing their assignment because they think they have more time but now it’s a matter of simply “not feeling like it” • Self motivation is non existent
3. Excuses • In this stage one would find random excuses as to why they can’t do the assignment • Excuses like “I’m on facebook right now” or “This text has to be sent today” • The procrastinator has a sense of urgency on everything else but the assignment due
4. Denial • The procrastinator sees the due date closing in but still convinces themselves they have time • They continue to put the assignment off
5.Crisis • Usually occurs the night before or the day that the assignment is due • As the procrastinator begins to work on the assignment they realize the amount of work involved and begin to think they will not finish • Ultimately the procrastinator finishes all or most of the assignment but the quality of work is lacking
6. repeat • Most procrastinators are habitual procrastinators • They will continue to go through the same cycle and may never learn their lesson.
