Do you know what procrastination is?
It is basically wasting time you could have spent on things, like productive things.
It' is like postponing all the productive things you have to do - like for school - until the moment you don't have any time to do it properly.
It's to postpone something, like a deadline or homework, in general.
Procrastination is when you leave all the things for the last moment. All the time you have, you are on facebook, you're watching TV, you're wasting your time.
Actually, I don't know what pro... procra... What is that?
I think it's a good thing for developing imagination... working with pressure also.
I think it's very bad because, actually, the reason why I'm here in the library is because I procrastinated something since last Friday and instead of having free time now, I'm doing my homework.
I think it's good 'cause I like to work under pressure.
You get distracted, you lose all the stress you have so after that you can come back to work ... Yeah, sometimes it's good.
In my opinion, I think no because then you are really stressed.
- She's been wasting lots of time on facebook - Twitter -Twitter, internet in general, doing nothing productive
-Her grades are falling ... -We are really worried about her, we don't know what to do.
We've been waiting for you.
Yeah? What's going on?
You don't know what's going on? Seriously?
Obviously not! Why is there a camera in my room?
Because this is an intervention! You need help honey.
An Intervention! seriously? That is so going on Twitter!
Give this to me
Are you crazy or what?! This is my cellphone!
I don't care! You spend all your time on the internet doing dumb things
You're doing nothing and eating bullsh** all the day!
We've tried everything... But the intervention didn't work out ... We don't know what to do now
Procrastinators are actively looking for distractions, particularily ones that don't take a lot of commitment on their part: checking the emails is perfect for this.
They distract themselves as a way of regulating their emotions such as fear of failure.
Ok guys, something you want to share with the group?
Yes, I want to share my experience with the group.
Thanks to your advice, I've been really happy because, actually, I've been able to follow this timetable and finish my work on time.
I can get up in the morning early, I can do my assignments and this way I have free time during the rest of the day so I can do the things I like.
I'd really like to be like that because for me, right now, it's impossible. I'm a mess.
Every time I try to study, I end up on facebook or talking to my friends.
I'd even rather clean my bedroom than study...
This worrying trend of procrastination is only going to increase.
The internet, Facebook and androids are not increasing efficiency.
Instead, technology is providing people with constant distractions and excuses to put things off.
