As far as school work the day before it's due, every time. But I still got out of college on with Dean's Honors (3.5-3.9 GPA). But yeah I would write 10 page papers (doing research and all) in a single day and still got anywher from B-'s to A+'s.

Hmm, let's see. I've been meaning to publish an entire series of books for about 10 years now... does that qualify?

I have a five-page paper due today and I haven't started it. We have had a month+ to work on it...

I have procrastinated to the point where i'm on the border of oblivion. I realize it's a matter of willpower and that i have very very little of. These two things can be rooted to 85-90% of the problems in my life and if anyone know some steps i can take to gain that willpower to stop doing so i would very much appreciate you telling me. I don't want my procrastination to ruin my life and dreams. Help me please T-T

I am not too bad when it comes to procrastinating. I usually do stuff 2-3 days before they are due (but not a day before!). Sometimes I am worse, but that is rare. It has worked well so far (not a single failed class yet).

I am actually just now finishing up the draft of a paper that is due on Thursday (it is Tuesday now), if that gives you any idea of my procrastinating habits.

Very very badly. Had a 25 or so page paper due for a Research Methods class, all month to work on it, spend time playing flash games in class everyday. Four days before it is due, work my ass off, pull off a B+ on it. Works for me.

I also do voice acting work and I always end up for most things not recording until the week it is due, which for when you have a movie's worth of lines to record is quite a bit in a week.

I used to be a terrible procrastinator. I'd wait to start studying for big exams and finishing big papers the night before they were due.

Then, something hit me during the spring semester of my Senior year in high school. I was overcome with so much stress with a semester long book report that I had to finish it. I not only finished the paper two weeks before it was due, but it was also three pages longer than necessary. Since then, I've been getting stuff done many days before it's actually due, and freaking stress about something even if I have a week to finish a simple assignment. Some would call being punctual great, but I call it a curse.

I have finals next week, and I hardly have to study because I've been so studious throughout this semester and I've never been prouder of myself. I'll surely have a 4.0 GPA this semester.

procrastination has caused some pretty big issues in my life...

I hope I can learn from my mistakes

Terribly. But in a fucked up way I do better when I procrastinate. I got an honorable mention for the science fair project i did the night before. The one I did a year later with 2 weeks of effort got a C. :|

By the end of the month I always have like ten assignments that urgently need handing in.
I write them all up the day before the deadline. If I get bored I might put it off until early the next morning, shit something out directly before class.

And yet so far no complaints what the fuck.

It's almost one in the morning. I have to write a paper on what Henry David Thoreau would think of my daily life. It's due tomorrow (or, rather, later today), and I have so little of it done I have to pull an all-nighter to get it done.

And I'm still posting on the Escapist.

Oh look, new episode of Extra Credits on PATV.

It's 3 days before finals week.
A paper was due exactly one week and 8 hours ago.
I went to see my professor to see if I could pass that class.
He said "Yes, as long as you turn your paper in sometime."
Still, not working on paper.
