Hi everyone,

I am new to this whole PA site, and i must say that its looks really great im really glad i found this site. For a long time i felt like there was something wrong with me i would try so many things and it just got harder to bear with. I eventually realized that "chronic procrastination" for me was a life long habit. It wasn't something i just picked up. I actually was a grade A top of the honors student all through elementary to the middle of high school. All along i had this habit of procrastinating. It wasn't until i started joining clubs and doing a lot of sports that i began to see the harsh side affects of my habit. And then to top it all of i was going through a lot of stress and sadness from my family. By my senior year i would have grades in the C's and D's failed 2 classes also. I and everyone that knew me were shocked at how abruptly it all changed. At that time my downfall really broke my spirit and confidence i had in myself. Over the past couple of years i have been trying my best to stay positive and proactive about my habit. And i can honestly say that i don't regret a thing that has happened to me, not a single bit. I am now at a point in life even though I'm only 20, where i feel like i have learnt so much from that experience, about myself and about the world.

 I just hope that others that are going through "chronic Procrastination" realize as i have that procrastination is just one part of your life, you shouldn't let it consume you, take pride in the other wonderful parts of you and use all your other wonerful parts to overcome this hurdle. It may and probably will take years but you have already made it clear you want to move forward and that in itself is a great achievement. 

You've been there, I've been there, from now on realize there's no where else to go but up:) 

chill out... but don't procrastinate:)

-best of Luck To all!!!

Hello all, it's been awhile since I've been on here. It feels good to be back. Last time I was on was months ago, and at that time I was working on a paper for school that was late. I said that I would post again when I was done, but never did indicate I finished it. Well, I did finish it, so Yey! Now I'm working on another paper that is past due and I am almost done with it. I am behind in my readings, so I'm feeling some stress about this. Wish me luck and I hope to talk to you all again soon! Tammy

I posted the "Signs of Compulsive Procrastination" list and the "Tools of Recovery" list as articles, so you can look at them there, too.
