Procrasination-By Marco Conte

Procrastination! Could you describe me any better. I'm like the king of procrastinating. I procrastinate from the second I wake up to the minute I go to bed. Whether it is hitting the snooze button on my alarm clock in the morning and avoiding starting my day, or talking on the phone at night and avoiding the inevitable sleep that will later lead into wanting to procrastinate when my alarm clock goes off. I feel the constant need within my life to procrastinate. Although it is not necessarily a feeling or a need that I specifically want, it has become a daily routine, and without it in my life I would probably accomplish much more but feel slightly lost. My procrastination hits an all time peak when it is time for me to sit down and complete my assignments for school. Whether it is talking to someone on the phone or turning on the television for a five-minute break that turns into an hour because I discover a new television show that has now become my favorite. Procrastination has a great affect on the fact that I end up starting my homework when I probably would have already completed it, if I had not let procrastination dominate my life.

Greetings!

Welcome to the blog I have created for your Life Writing course. I hope you enjoy the postings you find here. In this blog, you will respond to prompts about course material, comment on others blog entries, and discuss the use of blogs and podcasts in education.

This is a bonus blog (1%) so you are free to respond or not. It's about procrastination, a topic you may have experienced first hand. Some of us are great procrastinators.

First I'd like you to go 43 Folders to check out the ZeFrank Show on procrastination. You may need Flash or Quicktime to see the video.

Secondly, respond to any part of the video with an example from your own experience and how it may have gotten you in trouble.

Thirdly, read someone else's response and comment on it, as you have been doing in your journals.
