    The worst part is, when you're a functional procrastinator, and you get good grades. That's the worst part, because it FEEDS back into you, since you're actually good at it.

    This gave me 'nam flashbacks. My entire degree rested on a 15,000 word final dissertation, with zero words written the night before it was due. Had primary research and sources prepared, just no paper. Sheer panic, fueled by cans of monster mixed with water to prevent dehydration. Besides the pain (like your DNA is being damaged under the stress and sleep deprivation), the worst part was getting halfway through and thinking "this could've actually been good if I started this sooner". Thinking about how disappointed my family would be at 4am. 15 minutes of sleep to prevent death at 5am, got up and continued. Finished an hour before the hand in, still at digs with no time to get it bound professionally, my only hope being a long-arm stapler. 3 years and tens of thousands in fees and living costs in the hands of a fking stapler. If the staple didn't go through the pile of trash that was my dissertation it would've all been for nothing. Prayed to every god I knew as I put my entire weight down on that thing. Got to uni in absolute shambles for the hand-in with 5mins to spare. Somehow got a 2:1 on the paper - to secure a 1st overall and entrench my bad time management habit - but that night shaved several years off my life expectancy. No stress at work has ever compared. If you got this far why are you still here, go do your paper

    One of the most euphoric yet catastrophic feelings I’ve had was when we were turning in our senior papers, and I had rushed mine very much. When the teacher accepted the submissions, he shifted the stacks around to show their collective weight. He let out a big sigh and asked us “so, how did we all do?” To which everyone groaned. He said, “luckily I lied about the due date, everyone still has a week to refine it”.
    This left me with tears of joy and anguish.

    I once started an assignment as the teacher was collecting it. It was homework for 8th-grade science class, so it didn't hold that much weight, but the scenario itself was exhilarating. I had to write 24 definitions on Quizlet to match 24 images about the chapter we were covering that week. When I realized I was about 1 minute away from having nothing, I frantically began writing down definitions. By the time she got to me, I only had around 7 or 8 definitions completed. I was doing it on my phone since I didn't have my laptop open yet and she was just checking for completion, but that may have helped me. When she came to check mine, I started at the top, scrolled through the first few, then quickly scrolled all the way to the bottom, and instantly went back up. The blank definitions and images didn't fully load, so she couldn't see that they were incomplete. Once I scrolled back to the top, I just stayed there. She just nodded her head and went to the next person. I got a 100% on that assignment.

I did most of the work and when we got to class we all found out that we needed a 15 minute introduction that none of us had written. In the span of time it took 3 groups to go in front of us, I flipped through the chapter and wrote that intro based on the subheadings in the chapter. The teacher himself clapped for us and asked if he could use it as an example in the future. It's the most impressive thing I've ever done in my life tbh.

    during my years in university, I have learned my lesson on procrastination, and I've realized that you should always check the assignment instructions thoroughly to see for how long you can actually procrastinate before it's too late and there isn't enough time to finish it
    for me it's usually 3 days before the due date for me to actually start writing so that I don't lose my shit halfway in because I know I can't make it
    it's what I call responsible procrastination, cuz I push the task as far as I can, but not further than the "will have a panic attack" line, and I always manage to finish it

    I think a key point here for a lot of us procrastinators is found near the end of this video, "That wasn't my best work, that's for sure, but I finished it!"
    Over the years I've found that my procrastination stemmed mostly from my own ego, my worries that maybe I'm not actually as good or as smart as I'd like to think. Procrastination was a way to distance myself from my work. If I did well enough then it was proof of my intellect, but if I did badly, I always had procrastination as an excuse for my shortcomings. However, when it comes to doing my own personal projects (writing a book, etc), I don't have that pressure of the deadline to force me to do even my subpar work. I only have procrastination to protect me from discovering the truth...that maybe I'm not as "smart" or "special" as I'd want to believe. Still trying to fix this issue myself.

    • @moethemoon
      @moethemoon Před rokem +7

      Hmm you know that’s really interesting. I’ve always pondered about the sources of procrastination. I once heard someone theorize that it comes from being irreverent to authority and given obligations. While that could be the case, I personally feel like that’s something more juvenile, like when you didn’t wanna do an uninteresting book report in high school and decided to read the sparknotes instead. It’s a completely different ball park when you’re in college for a field you ACTUALLY have interest in. Then that reason for procrastination is nonsensical, because I genuinely think all my classes are useful or interesting.
      For me I don’t know if it has to do with ego.., I was smart as a child (as I was told; I never fully believed it) but I’ve always been aware that the application of my intellect would decline with age. So regardless of what grades I get, and they’re usually over 80, I still think I’m not as smart as I’m made out to be. But the worst of it is that I’m always rewarded for my procrastination with good grades, so my brain sees so incentive to change the habit. I convince my dumbass that I work better under pressure when it’s not even necessarily true (when I look at the way I tackle my dopamine inducing hobbies it’s totally different- too much pressure or boredom completely puts me off).
      I guess from me it’s really a matter of brain chemistry. Procrastination permeates every aspect of my life. I do not like to sleep or eat. In fact I’ve got to consciously remind myself to eat or acknowledge cravings because I get no indication that I’m hungry until it’s too late (I start shaking). I only sleep for the prospects of having nice dreams, I love to dream, but I begrudgingly admit my body needs it. I resent having to do these things for survival when I want to do other things that are much more interesting. And it’s such a struggle to know you have obligations, wanting to do them but not being able to do anything. Makes me wanna crawl out of my skin. It’s real hell. But maybe that’s ADD

Goodnight everyone.” (they were all well-aware of what was going on and were very sympathetic). Then I sat down at my friend’s desk and started writing. Then when I started to fall asleep sitting down, I stood up and wrote. Then when I started to fall asleep standing up, I stood on one foot and wrote. Somehow I got it done on time, and I’m pretty sure I got an A on it. Procrastinators everywhere, do not despair. It’s possible, you got this!

    @ARMYALEX1869 Před rokem +761

    Here are some tips I've learned from procrastinating long essays:
    1. Quantity over quality. Focus on meeting the required lengths/word count so you at least have something to turn in, before using the extra time to polish your essay.
    2. Write down whatever you think of. Even if it's the kind of thing you'd delete once you look back at your writings. We're out of time so we need to focus on turning in the assignment on time, so write down everything. It's like writing a story. If it's about a meet cute at a coffee shop, you don't need to start with the girl's morning routine, how she chooses her outfit, how she borrows her dad's car to drive there because her sister is using her car... These are all unnecessary details, BUT, if you're trying to meet a certain word count, then you're going to need these. Do the same for your essay. Write down ALL the unnecessary details and polish them later if you have time. A C+ grade is better than a F because you didn't turn it in on time.
    3. Organize your essay into paragraphs and write an opening/thesis sentence for each paragraph and assign it a specific word count first before writing anything else. This way you'll know how many words to write for each paragraph in order to meet the word count requirement, and it'll help you organizing your thought process because all-nighters tend to make you forget where you plan on going with a certain idea.
    TL/DR: Quantity over quality. Your goal is to reach the word count requirement. Worry about its quality after you have something to turn in.

I physically felt enlightenment as I hit the send button. Now waiting for my dear (note the sarcasm) supervisor to check it and send it back for editing and correcting. To be honest, I just had to write the infernal thing as I had all my notes, data, chapter outlines ready and I am still a good month away from submission deadline. But it was hell, nonetheless. RIP my body as I can barely move today.

I thought I had nearly 2 months left and had not even written a single page (I had to write 50). The only finished thing was the structure and a download folder full of academic papers I had previously saved.
    In the coming days I nearly went crazy because of the lack of sleep and I couldn’t look at coffee for a long time afterwards.

    The best paper I ever wrote has an insane backstory to it.
    It was Writing and Rhetoric II and I was 18, we had to write a paper about our towns history and base it off of our own research from historical places in our town (I chose my topic related to medicine which I was warned by my professor that it was a total pain in the ass).
    The paper I ended up writing was a 200/200 and was given praise from my school. My professor even recommended that I submitted to the downtown library to have a chance at having something officially published made by me…and I was the fourth best essay out of over 70 submissions, but unfortunately they only wanted the top two.
    Now here’s the kicker.
    Since this was my second semester, my young fuck-all attitude got to me saying “it’s just two months of work and all I need is a week, I’ll be fine”…well a week turned into twenty-six hours and I had NOTHING.
    So basically I speedrun the fuck out of my essay and research, literally breaking PB’s and finding new strays to lower my time on the fastest essay I ever wrote…my favorite part was arriving at one of our historical hospitals at 2AM asking for research (thank god their history was plastered all over the building).
    I ended up finishing the essay with NINE MINUTES to turn it in and all I could really think of was “well…I met expectations”.

    Can you relate now that it's over? The real world isn't quite like this and its challenges are ways worse in its own way and not ones you can just grind out.
    P.S. LOVE your spacing! 😆

    I am an older student with a way different work ethic and your video reminds me how thankful I am that I do my work early.

    As someone who dropped out of college twice, my advice for anyone with something due tomorrow is to watch 5 minutes of this and then go do one page! Basically get some of your own work done, don’t just binge videos cuz it’s gotta get done!! ♥️♥️♥️
