After reading Later by James Surowiecki it made me analyze myself even deeper. And knowing for sure Iām a huge procrastinator, which is a huge step in fixing it just by acknowledging itās a problem for yourself. Writing this paper late is a prime example of me being a procrastinator. Surowiecki talks about how a person knows they have to get something important done but tend to but their time into something thatās more pleasing or fun. He explains part of being a procrastinator is āignoranceā, which leads to an idea Surowiecki connected āplanning fallacyā is what human being may do. We may think everything will be fine and slack off what needs to be done , but have no clue in the future that may lead you to more lost time to finish whatever needed to be done. Students & my self tend to section assignments that would be easier to finish and put the assignments thats āharderā for later. Overthinking correlates to procrastination that we may think an assignment may be done wrong and with this thought you might not want to do it at all. Me personally when an assignment that i felt was to time consuming i would push it back until I really feel motivated to do it. Now in college I know no one is going to hold your hand or stay on top of you o make sure you do your work ; like I mean your paying for school you got to stay locked in or itāll be a waste of money. Surowiecki added this phrase from a philosopher Mark Kingswell ā Procrastinators most often arises from a sense that there is to much to do, and hence no single aspect of the to-do worth doingā this is such a true statement and feel like I have to break out of this mindset.
