Activity 5: BE PRODUCTIVE: UNDERSTANDING AND AVOIDING PROCASTINATION
Directions: Read the text below and answer the textual aids given, identify the cause and effect.
Procrastination is an activity almost every high school student has done throughout their high
school career. The meaning of procrastination is putting something off intentionally and delaying to
work on a task to another day. Whether it is learning for an exam or writing a term paper due in a few
weeks, almost every student will procrastinate at least once, no matter if they are role model students
or well organized. Procrastination can have a huge impact on the grades of a student, but there is a lot
to learn about why students do it and there are techniques to learn to cope with procrastination.
Reasons to Procrastinate
First of all we need to have a look at some reasons why one procrastinates.
Unquestionably, procrastination is rewarding. It rewards us temporarily with a relief of stress. If
you feel that endless work deprives you of the pleasure of leisure time, it is more likely to avoid work. If
the work one thought he or she had to do, later turns out to be unnecessary the procrastination is
double rewarding (Fiore 2007).
If your life is controlled by deadlines and due dates, you can feel like a victim to others who
make the rules. You need to follow the rules or have to live with the consequences, e.g. postponing a
term paper and doing it all over again or at the last minute. By procrastinating, one can temporarily,
secretly dethrone the authority and feel stronger and not like a victim anymore (Fiore 2007).
Another cause of procrastination is the fear of failure. Perfectionism and self-criticism are the
main reasons for fear of failure. If a perfectionist’s work is judged as ‘average’ it will feel like a failure to
him due to his high expectations beforehand. The perfectionist defines himself through the evaluation
of his work. Needless to say, this invokes a lot of stress. Procrastination, temporarily, takes away the
pressure and the fear of failure (Fiore 2007).
Equally important to procrastination is the fear of success. It is possible to fear the downsides of
success without even being aware of it. The majority of the people who fear success want to do well,
but because of unconscious and subtle worries, their desire fails to turn into reality.
Take the case of college students whose parents have not gone to college. The students are
aware of the sacrifices their parents have made to give them greater opportunities. They aim to make
their families proud and to be in a position to support the family. Simultaneously, they are entering an
intellectual and social culture, their parents have never experienced. The more they succeed, the more
the differences increase and therefore, drifting the family apart. In this case procrastination is seen as an
expression of anxiety and guilt about slowly edging away from a loving family (Burka and Yuen 2008).
Ways of Procrastination
It is by far more important to be aware of the various ways one procrastinates than the reasons
of it.
Observing oneself during a normal period of procrastination, to create a procrastination log can
be very helpful to examine periods of most or least productivity. At first it is important to become aware
of one’s current behavior patterns, without judging or analyzing them. Divide the day into three
segments, for example: morning, afternoon and evening to better assess at what time one is most or
least productive. Register the time spent on every activity throughout the day (Fiore 2007).
At the last step the procrastination log needs to be analyzed. At what period of time was the
most productive and at what period of time was the least productive span of time.
In conclusion, the awareness of one’s inner dialogue and how it connects to one’s
procrastination patterns will allow establishing the possibility to get the most out one’s most productive
time span (Fiore 2007).
