I'm a horrible procrastinator. When it comes to work/school, I always wait until the very last minute to get stuff done.
At work, if they expect a software application in two weeks, I usually do whatever until a couple days before it's expected and then I start on it. Normally, I'd do it immediately, have it done in a day, and impress people, but lately, I've just been procrastinating. Last week I started my quarter-long programming project at 2am, eight hours before it was due. I ended up getting a 100% grade on it, but it was stressful. Today I've got four data mining projects/assignments due by 10pm, and I've yet to start on any of them. I also have a 6-10 page term paper for another class due at 3pm, and here it is, 11:18am, and I'm on 6GC, with an empty Word document where my paper should be. And then tomorrow I have a 5 page paper due for another class, and I'm sure I won't start that until tomorrow morning. I've also been putting off job hunting (I'm done with school in one week,) but my excuse for that is that I have to get the new 6GC online so it's impressive when I show it to future employers. Does anyone else procrastinate this badly? Have any tips for getting over my procrastination habits? I need to get back into the habit of not procrastinating when I actually get a good job here shortly. -------------------- New Toyota project coming soon...

I procrastinate every so often, but the way I get around that in school is the fact that I don't make friends while I am there. If I don't have friends, then I don't have someone to talk to - and I get my work done in class.
With work, I take all the jobs I have to take care of today and put them in my blackberry - which will tell me when I need to be somewhere... Like now... I am getting an alarm telling me I need to go to Room 223 and uninstall their projector and submit it for warranty work and then replace a hard drive in Room A4.. Got to run! -------------------- 1991 MR2 - T-tops - Crimson Red - Gen3 3SGTE - Lots of money
