I procrastinate all the time, especially if it is something I do not want to do such as homework, cleaning my room, or getting my stuff together to go to a friends house or out of town. Procrastinating is a very bad habit of mine that I need to try to stop. But, if I really don't want to do something, I will watch netflix or go on my phone instead of doing what needs to be done. The longer I procrastinate, the less I will feel like doing whatever I need to do. This is a really bad situation especially when it comes to homework, because if I don't do my homework then I will get a bad grade and then I will get in trouble.
A situation that I procrastinate a lot in is when my parents tell me to clean my room. This is a lot like the the person in the article, "Procrastination: Is Your Future Self Getting A Bad Deal" by Timothy A Pychyl, whenever it comes time to do the dishes. I absolutely hate cleaning. I will start cleaning my room, and then get bored and procrastinate by watching netflix or going on my phone, or occasionally taking a nap. The longer I procrastinate, the longer it takes for my room to be clean. I actually love having my room clean, I just don't like the cleaning up part, which is why I should just always keep it clean. I need to get out of this habit now, so that I won't procrastinate in the future. I do not want mu future self to have some of the bad habits I have right now, such as procrastination. Procrastinating is very easy for me.
