15 Signs You Are A Procrastinator
Today all of us tend to do things other than the work we should be doing. Whether its watching TV, playing video games, browsing through Facebook or even chatting with other people, we all never have the determination to start or continue a task that we have to do. I would call myself a procrastinator as well, because I become so lazy doing the work I am assigned. I only get the motivation to hit the gym or go out and play basketball, otherwise I am always doing stuff that is not productive. So check out these 15 signs you are a procrastinator. signs you are a procrastinator
1. You have 12 tabs open with random stuff on each tab and one tab with that essay you shouldve started already.
Youtube, Facebook, Instagram, Gmail, Buzzfeed Quizzes are all open while the essay you are working on is also open but yet to be touched.
2. You always seem to be hungry, even if you just ate.
Whenever you are bored, you want food, and you are always bored so you always want food. You go to the fridge to take a break from your work, but end up just eating the rest of the day. Oops.
3. You keep opening and closing Snapchat on your phone.
You reopen Snapchat right after closing it, just to see if there are any new stories. Your favorite section is where all the latest celebrity news, food, tips for getting that guy/girl. You also reopen Facebook time and time again, without even realizing it sometimes.
4. TV? Hell yeah!
You always turn on the TV just to see what’s coming on. Even if something you’ve never watched before is on, you start watching that and suddenly it becomes fun to watch.
5. Netflix binge watching has become boring for you.
You always promise yourself you will not watch too much Netflix, but end up binge watching an entire series. Now even that has become utterly boring for you.
6. Gym or any sport seems to be fun all of a sudden when you have an assignment due the next day.
You never thought this day would come, being a procrastinator. Since there is an assignment due the next day you would do anything besides that assignment, so why not join the gym?
7. You have this sudden urge to organize your room.
You are reading through your textbook, but then lose interest and then check out how messy your room is. So what do you do? You start cleaning it of course, since you can not study in a messy room.
8. Instead of doing your work you call up random people on your phone.
When you are so bored and have “nothing” to do, you start strolling through your contacts and look for people to call, even if its your grandparents.
9. Any time of the day is nap time.
You have so much work, but you just cant get around to do it. So instead you take a nap because of all the stress you have from thinking about all of the work.
10. You never get up early on purpose.
You never wake up early unless it’s extremely important. Whenever you wake up the time is always after 11 am, and you don’t even feel guilty about it. You would try to get up early but you know it’s not going to happen anyway.
11. Facebook is always a tab open while you “research”.
You are so addicted to Facebook, when you have a research paper to do, Facebook is still the first tab you open. It’s the first thing you open ALWAYS.
12. You feel furious when your friend asks if you are done with your essay.
The friend that finished the essay the day after it was given and asks you “Are you done?” You want to strangle that friend because they know you probably haven’t even started.
13. You start finding new things to do that you have never done before.
You suddenly want to learn the piano, learn how to cook, learn a new language. Anything that is different from that boring task you’ve been given.
14. You look through your old pictures just to reminisce the good old days.
What’s better than looking at great old memories from a week ago? You love doing this in your spare time. You also do this when there is no WiFi available.
15. You feel an extreme relief when your best friend hasn’t started the assignment either.
You always know you can count on your best friend for everything. Whenever they haven’t done an assignment too, you just want to hug them so tightly and you both laugh at how you haven’t started it.
Did any of these apply to you? If they did, that means you are a procrastinator! Congrats! You should be doing your work right now, shouldn’t you be?
