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've learned to work with it. I procrastinate when I'm at home or with friends. If I stay on campus then I can get more done which is why I study on campus. Sometimes I can force myself to do homework on weekends but it gets harder on some subjects like computers. I like computers which is my major (computer engineering), but it tends to get boring and so I procrastinate when doing it, lol.
