Most people think that procrastination(拖延症) is a negative habit. But people like me who routinely put off doing assignments, are likely to defend our" slower" approach to getting tasks done.
I'm the only procrastination in my family. My parents and sister were all born with the" do it right now" gift. They are always in a rush, as if closely rushed by an invisible deadline. Personally, I prefer a more relaxed pace. When my parents voiced their concern about my tendencies, saying" Don't put off until tomorrow what you can do today,"" No way!"I responded, confidently presenting my research as a defense. It said people procrastinated when they need to solve a problem or commit to a topic or project. In these cases, delaying a decision can be beneficial. This was because our minds continue to reflect on problems even when we were not actively thinking about them, which could lead to more creative. solutions. My findings filled me with satisfaction and pride. My method of getting things done was just as good as my sister's…… or so I thought.
At school we'd been talking about architecture and design. As part of the final assessment my teacher Mr. Smith announced an exciting project that each student would have a month to complete. We were expected to choose our materials, construct a small building and make use of things we had learned in class. Not only would the winners receive extra credit, but the winning constructions would be proudly displayed in the. cafeteria."I have no clue how I could get it done," my friend Nate sighed in despair. I didn't say anything. Not because I shared his anxiety—— but because I was not nervous at all. I loved hands- on projects! Picturing my brilliant work exhibited in the cafeteria, I was fully convinced that I would definitely produce something that could impress everyone. So relaxed was I that I didn't give it a second thought for weeks.
