What is a procrastinator anyway?
A procrastinator is simply a person must do something but has to postpone it in order to work on something else (usually useless stuff).
Life of a procrastinator is I believe pretty much straight forward. You are careless, irresponsible, unproductive and lazy. But are procrastinators really are all that?
I have recently read this article "How to Be a Better Procrastinator" by John Perry and what I have understand about that article is not all procrastinator are what you think they are. Although they spend a lot of time doing unnecessary things, they are like to be more creative on the whole time. Based on the article "Most procrastinators are structured procrastinators" which means "That although they may be putting off something deemed important, their way of not doing the important thing is to do something else." Like for example I should be doing this blog instead of playing my PSP or going to Facebook and chat with my friends. That is why sometimes I feel bad because I often let my other classmates to procrastinate with me also which kind a makes a domino effect.
This article also contains some tips to becoming a better procrastinator. The first tip was this "Don't listen to most of the advice offered to procrastinators by people who don't have this particular flaw". like for example this one, also based on the article "Keep your commitments to a minimum, so you won't be distracted." Instead of turning you to an industrious human being this by this statement alone degrades your own personality thus turning you more lazy and much more unproductive.
The second tips was "Don't sit around feeling bad because you lack willpower." In which case this will not help you do anything. In order to regain willpower one must find tools. Tools that has the ability to make up on what you lack on your willpower.
The third tip was "Avoid perfectionism". In this case it simple means stop fantasizing doing your work perfectly. Procrastination is a "lees-than-perfect job" in which it doesn't need a perfect job.
And lastly and the most important tip of all "Learn how to be less annoying to the non-procrastinators around you." This statement simply means don't convince others to procrastinate with you and admit to them that this is sort of kind of a flaw.
This concludes the life of a procrastinator if you want to become a successful procrastinator just follow these tips and you are on your way to becoming a procrastinator, or you could just open your Facebook account and chat with your friends thus leading your way to unsuccessful trail of becoming a procrastinator.
