Procrastination Is OK

There is too much made of procrastination. In my opinion, "procrastination" only happens when you don't know what you're doing.

Admittedly, I do work on a tight deadline, even when it was assigned a long while back. Some may call that "procrastination", but I do not. The quality of my work does not dip, nor does my overall stress level. In fact, I am relaxed for the majority of my time because I don't have to think about the assignment until the end. I have gained more confidence and learned how to write under a deadline by leaving my assignments until the end.

I think that kids who work on a project for 2-3 weeks will have more of a problem in the working world than kids like me, who work on a deadline. There are very few things that will be done on such a long timeline. It is much more realistic that workers will have to meet close deadlines. This is my way of practicing for that.



It is true that some people struggle with doing good work on such a tight deadline, but I have always been tired of people saying "it can't be done". People should be free to work as they please, and, if they can't do it under a tight deadline, they need to rethink their study habits. If I can do it, I should have full right to, without criticism.
