On Procrastination
Procrastination says procrastinators have a high level of conscientiousness. Conscientiousness says those with a low level of conscientiousness are "unable to motivate themselves to perform a task that they would like to accomplish". Sounds like procrastination to me. (and yes, i am procrastinating right now) I'm right and you're wrong 14:25, 25 June 2007 (UTC)
- I just came to this talk page to make note of that. Low levels of conscientiousness would indicate that the reason for procrastination is laziness, while high levels (Perfectionism) can indicate anxiety and its avoidance in the form of procrastination. I, myself, am a bit of a perfectionist, and I often procrastinate to avoid larger tasks for school, because stress just isn't any fun. Half the time, though, I am just being lazy.

- Still, I always make the dead dates, whereas one of my procrastinating friends, who is more-or-less lazy, does not. 24.109.39.188 (talk) 05:09, 3 July 2009 (UTC)
- Didn't you mean 'deadlines' or 'due dates' when you said, "…dead dates?" — RandomDSdevel (talk) 19:01, 5 April 2014 (UTC)
