Hello. My name is Emma, and I have a question for you. I want you to imagine this. Imagine you have a big English test thats going to happen very soon. What do you do? Okay? And I want you to be honest. Do you open up your book and study right away, and every day study for your test? Do you think about your test, feel a little bit sad and maybe go on Facebook? Do you, instead of studying, text your friends? Or do you think about studying, but instead just watch TV? Okay, a lot of students will say that they open up their book and study, but in reality a lot of people dont do this. A lot of people before tests or presentations or work get really, really nervous, and they do something different. Okay? They dont want to do the studying, they dont want to do the hard work, theyre really afraid to do it so instead they do something like go on Facebook, call their friends, go to the mall. Okay? These are all examples, two, three, and four that is... These three are examples of procrastination. Okay?
So, "procrastination" is maybe a new word for you, but its a very, very important word if you are a student or, you know, even if you work. Its actually an important word for everybody because most people procrastinate. So what does procrastination mean? Well, its when you have something you have to do, but instead of doing what you have to do, you do something else thats more fun, and you keep thinking: "Ill come back to this", but youre very busy with these other things.
So lets look at some examples of the word procrastination. We have it as a verb, an action: "I am procrastinating." Because Im not studying, Im on Facebook, Im procrastinating. "Im not studying. I procrastinate a lot." Here we have another verb form. Okay? "I procrastinate a lot", which means: I dont study, I dont do my English homework; instead, I spend a lot of time texting my friends and doing anything but English. I can also use it as a noun: "My procrastination is really bad." Okay? My procrastination is bad. I have a problem with procrastination. So this means I have a problem getting stuff done because I dont really want to do it, Id rather focus on doing Facebook or something else. Or we can also have it as a noun to say what we are. "Im a procrastinator." A procrastinator is a person. Okay? So Im a teacher, thats a person. When I was in university sometimes I was a procrastinator. This means before any big test or presentation Id start working on it, and then Id do something else because Im a procrastinator. Okay? So lets... Were going to talk about why people procrastinate, and then were going to talk about how to fight procrastination. Okay? Because its something we all need to fight.
Okay, so why do people procrastinate? Thats a very good question. Okay? So, different people procrastinate for different reasons, but usually a lot of the times people have the same reasons for procrastinating. People procrastinate when they think something is difficult. Okay? So for me I find math difficult, so when I used to do math I would procrastinate and I would do something else like, you know, make a sandwich or clean my room even because the math seemed so difficult to me, anything was better than doing the math. So I would always get distracted. A lot of people find English grammar difficult, and when theyre studying grammar a lot of the times they procrastinate, they text their friends or they, you know, do anything but grammar. Boring. A lot of people procrastinate when something is boring. They dont want to do it because its... You know, they want to do something interesting. People procrastinate when something is a lot of work. Okay? And they know its a lot of work, so they look at the task and its just too much, so then they want to feel good, so they do something else. A lot of people also procrastinate just because theyre scared or theyre afraid. They want to do something well, and they dont think that they can so it well, so you know... Or, you know, theyre worried about making mistakes, so a lot of the times people procrastinate because of fear.
