Haha Neville. Glad to have a fellow Lumosity player to ‘game’ with. I struggle with the dodgems game. I keep looking at it and thinking I must get back to it.
Regarding your comment on the last minute delivery of assignments, I recall some the assignments that I submitted as part of my external BA through UNE. If an assignment had to be postmarked by Thursday and I could not get to the PO at Merriwa by closure ar 5 pm, I could work on the assignment after teaching all day till 10 pm at night then hop in the car and drive to Muswellbrook where the train to Armidale came through. I could hand it to the guard at the back of the train and he would stamp it on Thursday at 11 pm. Pity help any kid who gave me grief the following morning when my nerves were on edge from the late night drive.
Robyn, Your point about moderate procrastination is one a great reminder. I tend to be reactive rather than responsive - adding the bit of time in time before making the decision or doing something is wise.
Robyn, I do procrastination level 1 all the time but never called it procrastination. I either forget about it, lose interest, or if I delay and then it's gone, I tell myself it wasn't meant to be.
I once joined a Procrastinator Support Group but always found a reason for not attending their meetings. Thanks for your article. (I did however join Lumosity as you suggested on Tuesday, and found myself trying to play virtual dodgem cars in the early hours of this morning.)
