Hello All! As a chronic procrastinator I know first hand that while it’s not the best idea, with enough coffee anything can be crammed out in time. Right? However, as I have learned throughout my college experience there’s a big difference between “cramming something out” and spending an appropriate amount of time on something.<\/p>\n
When it comes to something like writing there are many stages to creating what one would call a “well-written” essay. Throughout my CTW course, my English teacher has required us to write our essays in a series of steps, to prevent idiots like me from waiting until the last minute.<\/p>\n

When first introduced to the concept of peer editing I was extremely essay. I personally believe that I am a fairly good writer and was naive enough to believe that my peers would add little to my papers. As a procrastinator I usually wait until the last minute to write and essay and then just pump it out, read it over, and call it quits. However, I never realized how much better my papers would be after going through several rounds of revising.<\/p>\n
Additionally, this course has broken up our research assignment into numerous steps. Because I was required to do extensive research including an annotated bibliography, a survey, and 2\u00a0papers\u00a0building up to my final argument, I was forced to dedicate the proper amount of time to formulating my thoughts.<\/p>\n
Although I never realized it in the past, procrastination was keeping me from reaching my full writing potential. Since discovering this I have noticed that this translates to my other classes as well. Cramming may work for a simple quiz or test bur it keeps you from actually retaining the information and\/or creating something to it’d full potential.<\/p>\n
I say this as someone who has repped procrastination her whole life: STOP.<\/p>\n
