This is a post of procrastination.
Here I am, supposedly marking test papers.
Right.
If doing that was easy, I wouldn't be posting, would I?
And if whatever you were doing before you read this captured your attention, you wouldn't exactly be reading a post on procrastination, now, would you?
So what can I do to stop my serious problem of procrastinating?
I've got over five hundred papers waiting to be marked, including about 250 essays. (and that's no exaggeration!) Why am I posting instead of marking?
:(
And then I want my students to hand in their stuff on time.
What a great example I'm setting, huh?

I have the same problem so I don't think I could help you unless we work on it togetherf:). Can you email me since I don't have your email address. The address is in my blog profile.
SW/FM - Don't we all...
Done.
Haha, I just blogged about this myself. I found that the more I have to do, the more I have time to blog. Conversely, if my work load is light, I don't have much to blog about.
:-)
I also procrastinate. We'll all in this together.
i surfer terrible from this condition, solution anyone?
Let's blog about it, work will wait ;-)
This is why I blog more during finals than on vacation.
Anyway, about your students, I used to feel like saying to some teachers, "Well, since you're not going to be returning those reports for another month or two, I guess you won't mind if I turn mine in next week!" I guess the problem is that everyone would start doing it...
aishel - Yeah, I recall that post of yours. I truly hadn't meant to copy. 'Twas just the thought of the moment.
lvnsm27 - Procrastinanters Anono, anyone?
nuch a chosid - 'Xactly what I'm talkin about, man!
knaidel - Well, they don't exactly KNOW how much I procrastinate. For all they know, it takes me half an hour to mark each essay. (It can, you know, if I'd make myself crazy...)
Right, I wasn't talking about procrastination specifically.
re. PA (proc. anon.)-- I remember writing something about that in my journal back in HS. Maybe I will get with the spirit and post it on my blog... it's not very sophisticated, but it was cute in 9th grade.
why not procrastinate..
"wait long enough and someone will invent something to do the work for you" :)
or
"hard work often pays off after time.. but lazyness always pays off now"
:)
Thanks, mookie.
Awesome advice you've got there.
:P
I am the King of Procrastinato....
Its debilitating...

Sorry, hun. I think thats you and all other teachers.
David - well, you can be the king. I'm the queen.
Go to sleep.
:)
Rivka - not ALL teachers. I speak for myself.
I finally decided that its time for me to join Procrastinator's Anonymous. But I found this really great website, so as soon as I finish over there, I'll go ahead and join. However....I'm tired now. I'll just join tomorrow.
aishel....
