Procrastination


             Procrastination was my topic of choice for this research project. I have chosen this topic because my life style is based on the definition of procrastination. Procrastinate means "to defer action; delay: to procrastinate until an opportunity is lost"(Merriam Webster Dictionary, pg. 1147). Procrastination is almost everybody's non-favorite verb. As you read, you will notice spelling errors and comma splicing along with other common grammar errors within this report. This is to show you that procrastination is very dangerous in the college world and the real world too. So you will read a research paper written and constructed by a true procrastinator (also, a hacker in training). So the time and date is 9:00 am on November 6th, 2000. I will discuss a brief history, one of the underlying causes, strategic solutions, and my own history of procrastination.
             In the 17th century, some church members thought procrastination as a sin. Revererned Walker had preference his sermon on procrastination and wrote, "I enquired of the most Learned, Grave, Conscientious and Experienced Ministers for direction; and one query I propound was, what subjects, or what texts they had found most useful and most successful to awaken, convince and convert their hears. To which a very holy, learned, aged and experienced minister replied by naming a text against procrastination; adding he never found his ministry so successful upon any, as upon that subject, upon which very text I have preached many sermons since." So Walker states that he was not alone in believing that procrastination was "certainly evil and sin". .
             Some psychologists also know procrastination as "maladaptive behavior"(Human biology pg. 149) with regard to a universal, essential cognitive and executive process. It is a life pattern that is characterized by inefficient behavior in decision-making, setting of priorities, scheduling, and adherence to schedule in one or more life areas and is a source of personal distress.
