*PROCRASTINATION*

It is natural to procrastinate occasionally. However, excessive procrastination can result in guilt feelings about not doing a task when it should be done. It can also cause anxiety since the task still needs to be done. Further, excessive procrastination can cause poor performance if the task is completed without sufficient time to do it well. In short, excessive procrastination can interfere with school and personal success.

Example of situation:

"I am here to work on my resume. I will finish my resume."

"Ping!" "Ooh!...an email. Could be important"

"Hey!It's got a 'You Tube' link. Gotta watch it." "Hahaha..Thats great.Hey, they've got more like that." "I've never even heard of this show. I'll wikipedia it." "Wait, that's not the right show. But who's that boy?He's handsome.." "I'll 'Google Image" him." "Oooo...Look at these photos.I'll post it on Facebook." "Hey, I got a friend request..." "Wait. I don't even know this guy. I should Google him." "Whoa.He's a freak. I'll write about him on my blog." "Wonder who's talking about my blog. I should Google myself."

"No..no..no..!!!It's resume time..Do the resume."

"Ping!" "Ooh! An email.." "!!!????"

Above all, think positively and get going. Once you are into a task, you will probably find that it is more interesting than you thought it would be and not as difficult as you feared. You will feel increasingly relieved as you work toward its accomplishment and will come to look forward to the feeling of satisfaction you will experience when you have completed the task.
