This video is very good. It is a concept I have not thought of before watching. I personally am a procrastinator. I realize that she says we procrastinate on tasks we loath the most. I actually watched this video a while back and I have tried to apply it to my life. I realized that if I am not going to one thing then I should try to do another thing that is productive. Not only does that make me more productive as a whole but it allows me to not feel as much guilt for procrastinating.

Procrastination is probably one of the worst things. I am a huge procrastinator. I'll always want to be doing something but when it comes to an assignment that I am dreading, I will always wait until the last minute. I seem to always get things done but I know I could do better if I didn't put it off until the last second.

Procrastination is horrible you are still avoiding the project. For instance we procrastinate on assignments but yet the assignment is still do the following day. Sometimes we have to buckle down and just do it. I understand that if you are procrastinating at least let it be worthwhile. It is still procrastination we have to stop doing that because it causes us to get further and further behind on that particular thing.

When I hear the word procrastination productive I raise my hand. This describes my everyday life. My procrastination is so bad when it comes to studying. I take several breaks within an hour. All the things that were mentioned in the video I have done.

This is a very nice video that is present in every college student's life procrastination. I know I do it and many others do it, put something off even though you know it is due the next day. Making yourself busy with other tasks that have no meaning. But in this video she is saying how you should do productive things when procrastinating. She had a great example of a teacher who would hang out with students in the student lounge and talk to them instead of grading papers. This is something we should all try to put into practice.

I hate procrastinating but i always do it. Unless I force myself to sit down and do my project all at once and get it done. I always get my work done but it will be at the last minute.

I am a procrastinator, I think everyone is to some degree. Since I like to put things off as long as possible, I use a to-do list technique where I prioritize what needs to be done. It really does help a lot. I feel like I get more things accomplished daily!

I really enjoyed this video. I am a HUGE procrastinator and will usually do anything to avoid whatever it is. The more I think about it though the more I realize I do productively procrastinate, most of the time. Before I study for a test or write a paper I always clean my entire room top to bottom. If I am at work and procrastinating, I usually complete a bunch of little minute tasks on my list first.

I am such a procrastinator but it has worked for me. not to say its the right way to go about doing things or the most effective, but it is a way to get things done. I don't have a sense of urgency until it becomes last minute. With the busy life I lead I'm always trying to prioritize. Which leaves some projects blowing in the wind until last minute...like these links of the day!!!

I love this video. I am a big time procrastinator. I have found that as I've gotten older I procrastinate more (because I have more on my plate). I like how she brings up the professor that put off work and met with students, leading to his reputation of being easily accessible. It makes me want to look at the positive things that I am accomplishing (although small) while I am putting off the bigger, more stressful tasks.

I'm a huge procrastinator so I believe procrastinating productively works. I totally don't have anything against people who overachieve but I feel like if you wait until the last minute to do things and the job gets done they, hey! Go for what you know. Even though we've all experienced it hundreds of times, it still amazes me how unproductive I can be in a day I set aside to be very productive.

Procrastination is the worst, and I am guilty of it. I hate waiting until the last minute but for some reason I do it anyway. I have to say that most of my best work has been a result of the last minute.
