Set the scene, you've got a holiday from college/university/work, but have been given a pile of essays and studying to do (or work related whatnot). You get to the last day, haven't started a thing, look at the clock and realise its 11 minutes into Monday. You have 2 books, 3 essays and a program to finish (or lets say paperwork). Sound familiar?

What do you do when procrastination has come to that dreaded time, where you cant put it off to tomorrow?

Stay up and cram and just do all the work there and then. I missed so much good weather before Easter because I had a Statistics report to do... That said, I'll end up missing half my lectures tomorrow because I'm in a play, so I'll be at a dress rehearsal. Best procrastination technique I can think of ;)

Ha ha that sounds familiar. My university deadline in may the 1st got to have a 10000 word essay, a 2000 word essay and a porfolia done for then and Im not even close these last few days ive been doing fuck all and putting it off. Welcome to mey life. And when it comes to the ngiht before,theres not much else you can do but bite the bullet and do an all nighter and get donw what you can I'm afraid. Trust me I;m in the 3rd year of uni so Ive been there maaaaaany times before.

I have 3 finals in the next two days, I procrastinate by spending a lot of time here. I always seem to get things done though, I spent my entire university career doing projects the night before/morning of, same for studying.

the worst thing is that its so nice to finally have it done, but its soo nice to just sit around and not do it.

I'm so glad the escapist is here, one of my biggest weapons in fighting the war against doing work, can procrastinate on here for ages.

When you get to that point where you're just about out of time, and you absolutely need to get all that work done, here's what you have to do....

Ah, I can't be bothered. I'll tell you later.

Here's a hint, though - taking the time to create a forum thread about procrastination and carefully reading every response is procrastination in action. Stop.

i actually do study for some things, like a big test, a little everyday before it. except for most of the times, i manage to memorize everything 40 minutes before and ace it. damn i hate myself

I have a presentation to give on Wednesday, and if I don't pass, I don't graduate. I've hardly thought about starting it.

I'm so glad to know I'm not alone.

Sometimes I wonder if there's just something seriously wrong with me, because I'm a hardcore procrastinator. But you guys make me feel like it's normal that I have a test tomorrow and another one for the day after, both at 8:30 AM, and I haven't done any readings at all yet (5 lectures behind on readings).

I procrastinate so much, I procrastinate procrastinating. When I stop procrastinating, I have procrastinating to do before I can finally do what needs to be done.
