'Sup! Have you ever put something off to the very last moment? That's called procrastination. Don't do it because it'll make your work load pile up and cause stress! Example: I made the mistake of deciding to procrastinate this week so now I'm rushing to get a project done before Tuesday. Hmmm... Maybe I'll just do it on Monday... (See what I did there? That's how procrastinators think.) My tip of the week is: Don't POROCRASTINATE or you'll have too much of a work load to carry with so little time to execute it.- GOLD3NGLARE

Thats cool, I porocrastinate ALL the time. It must be pretty common.

Thank you..... that's a good reminder. I find myself procrastinating a lot :( For example, I am homeschooled so my mom gives me a pile of assignments every day or so, but she's not strict on due dates. So I don't end up doing them until Saturday morning (today) which sucks, because I have soccer practice and get to see my dad more on the weekends. Don't procrastinate!! I agree!!
