I seem to procrastinate a lot, does anyone else do this?
What are the reasons people do this?

You know, procrastination is just like masturbation, in the end you are just screwing yourself.

I have a test in 3 hours and I still need to study. 😛

I procrastinate all the time. I often do it even with things I really like to do. I think it's a difficulty in getting started with anything. Very hard to overcome.

I often find that I need to have a lot of outside influence trying to motivate me whenever I have to do something of any importance, otherwise I just don't do it; when it isn't really important or I think it can wait I just tend to continually put it off - unless of course I'm terrible interested in doing something.
Hell, a lot of the time then as well.
It is extremely frustrating. 😠

Yep. Things like deadlines can work wonders, as much as I hate them.

If it bothers you to be a procrastinator, at least there's a glimmer of hope that someday you may overcome the habit. I'm a procrastinator also, but I've finally learned to accept it as part of my basic behavior. It's not a problem anymore. 🙂

I have mostly accepted it, too, but it can be quite annoying if, for example, I am very thirsty, but can't make myself get up and make a cup of tea.

I wouldn't recommend tea for quenching thirst. I would recommend mineral water.
Or juice.
Or tea if you want.
Or mineral water.
Or tea then, but you make it Nordys.

No I'll make it.....
