I always hate myself. But, I do think I work much better under pressure. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-a-procrastinator-do-you-work-better-under-pressure#post-787931 Thu, 16 May 2013 17:29:02 +0000 allison 787931@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I am so glad I'm no longer in school because I am definitely a procrastinator. I never wrote a paper before the night before it was due. I guess I work well under pressure, though, because I graduated college with a 3.7. Not too shabby! :P </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-a-procrastinator-do-you-work-better-under-pressure#post-787930 Thu, 16 May 2013 17:28:14 +0000 Mrs. Pickle 787930@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm definitely not! I used to complete my homework at least a week before it was due. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-a-procrastinator-do-you-work-better-under-pressure#post-787925 Thu, 16 May 2013 17:26:31 +0000 Ree723 787925@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>World's biggest procrastinator right here, but actually, that works out well for me. I've always worked best under pressure and my best work is produced when I am under a major time crunch. Even back in my college days, I would do a thousand times better on a paper I cracked out last minute, with no time for revision or changes, than I would do on papers where I had time to revise and edit them. That most definitely has carried over into my work life as well. </p> <p>DH is the complete opposite though and my style of doing things drives him absolutely nuts! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-a-procrastinator-do-you-work-better-under-pressure#post-787915 Thu, 16 May 2013 17:21:05 +0000 IRunForFun 787915@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Oh yeah, I work best under pressure. But like a PP said, not my own pressure, it needs to be a deadline someone else has given me. I'm a newspaper reporter and some of my best stuff has been written right before deadline because I know I have to sit down, concentrate and get it done. If I know I have a lot of time, I get distracted. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-a-procrastinator-do-you-work-better-under-pressure#post-787864 Thu, 16 May 2013 17:09:52 +0000 BoogieBea 787864@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Cherrybee: I hear ya. I'm exactly the same. I try to give myself deadlines that are earlier than the actual deadline but it doesn't work because I know it's just a made up deadline. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-a-procrastinator-do-you-work-better-under-pressure#post-787855 Thu, 16 May 2013 17:08:13 +0000 Caly 787855@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ugh. I'm a huge procrastinator! I'm the most productive &amp; decisive when under pressure...wether it's work, packing, shopping, etc. Drives me crazy since I wish I was less of a procrastinator. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-a-procrastinator-do-you-work-better-under-pressure#post-787852 Thu, 16 May 2013 17:07:32 +0000 Cherrybee 787852@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Im a dreadful procrastinator. I get myself really stressed when Im short on time to complete something but time and time again I leave things to the last minute. I have no idea if I would work better with less pressure because I never give myself that chance! One things for sure, without pressure from others and looming deadlines, Id never get anything done! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-a-procrastinator-do-you-work-better-under-pressure#post-787835 Thu, 16 May 2013 17:04:51 +0000 heffalump 787835@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No. I was that student that all my classmates hated because I did the work right when it was assigned. So while they were all up all night finishing their papers, I was fast asleep :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-a-procrastinator-do-you-work-better-under-pressure#post-787759 Thu, 16 May 2013 16:40:15 +0000 .twist. 787759@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@BoogieBea: haha like me, you procrastinate on your procrastinating! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-a-procrastinator-do-you-work-better-under-pressure#post-787754 Thu, 16 May 2013 16:38:31 +0000 BoogieBea 787754@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Bao: I wish I was like that. My life would be much more organized.</p> <p>@.twist.: @mrsjazz: Same, that's my excuse for procrastinating. I can always find an excuse for procrastinating though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-a-procrastinator-do-you-work-better-under-pressure#post-787735 Thu, 16 May 2013 16:33:57 +0000 mrsjazz 787735@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I am a master procrastinator. But some of my best work has been done at the last minute. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-a-procrastinator-do-you-work-better-under-pressure#post-787733 Thu, 16 May 2013 16:32:48 +0000 .twist. 787733@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I do work better under pressure, but I'm not good at making my own pressure. I need someone else to give me a deadline and then it will get done! otherwise, I will forever procrastinate. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-a-procrastinator-do-you-work-better-under-pressure#post-787725 Thu, 16 May 2013 16:30:06 +0000 Bao 787725@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm the complete opposite. I want things done yesterday ;) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-a-procrastinator-do-you-work-better-under-pressure#post-787698 Thu, 16 May 2013 16:24:08 +0000 BoogieBea 787698@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It's my husband's birthday today and I just started on his cake like half hour ago. I don't know why I always wait for last minute to do things. That said, I work much better under pressure. I don't know why I always give myself this kind of stress though. </p>
