Does Everyone Else Procrastinate This Badly? Options

[Coomer]

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.

yup, i always procrastinate. not as much as you, but that's probably just cuz you have a lot more to do than me. i wait to do those 7-10 paged essays the night before they're due and still pull off an A. it sucks, but i can't seem to concentrate when i know i've got weeks to finish them. my freinds always tell me... "procrastination is like masturbation... its all good while you're doing it, but in the end you realize you've just screwed yourself."
