One of my biggest problem is procrastination. I don't know but I really have a tendency to put things off at the last minute. Somehow, I have trained myself to work only under pressure. This may work but it is certainly very stressful and unhealthy. I really wonder why this is one habit that is so hard to break. These are some of the reasons why we procrastinate according to Peter Murphy ( 7 Ways You Avoid Success)
1. Perfectionism.
If it's not going to be perfect then it is better not to do it at all. I am sometimes guilty of this. I usually analyze things too much that most of my time and energy is used in analyzing which will be perfect. Whether it is on lesson planning or any project. Bottom line, nothing is done.
2. Fantasizing.
I have met people who can talk about things that they plan on doing which can really knock your socks off for its gradiosity. However, it's just that. Dreams and Fantasies.
3. Fear.
Fear is something that causes me to procrastinate. Fear of failure, fear that the lesson may not be fun and interesting and other kinds of fear that just numbs my brain from being creative.
4. Crisis Maker.
This is me. I used to think that I am better in doing things under pressure but apparently it is not true. I usually wait until around 8-9pm to start doing schoolwork and before I know it, I am already so stressed out that I don't want to do anything anymore or I just do something so I won't feel guilty. Both of these behaviors certainly didn't bring out good results.
5. Angry.
Some procrastinates because they feel bad about doing a task. They are mad that they are being required or asked to do something that they don't like to do.
6. Overdoing things.
There are people who tends to do more than they should and in so doing loses time to do the more important things.
7. Pleasure Seeking.
This person just doesn't want to do anything that entails effort on his part. Everything is all about fun.
