The topic/problem that I have selected for my research paper is the topic of procrastination. Procrastination is a rather big problem in my opinion within today's society. It is an extremely detrimental habit that is not easily cured yet very easily maintained from a day to day basis. It is one of those problems that begins as a snowball and little by little turns itself into an avalanche. For example, a student who has a paper due that he/or she has been given weeks in advance to do waits until the night before to complete it because some other activity was always more enjoyable than taking the time to complete the assignment. The results of course of that act of procrastination would be either a failure by the student to complete the paper in the allotted time frame and thus receiving a failing grade or the completed paper would be submitted and reflect a lack of time and effort spent on it and still receive a poor grade. And it's not just students who face the troubles of procrastination. Adults who decide one day that they'd prefer to sleep in rather than to get up and go to work can easily slip into a pattern of simply missing work all the time. The repercussions of that act of procrastination would most-likely lead to the firing of that person. We as a nation must be concerned about this topic because no matter whom we are, from student to adult, young or old, if we let our guards down and allow procrastination into our lives we are setting ourselves up for a whirlwind of sorrow and unhappiness. In the subsequent pages I will aim to be more informative about the issue at hand as well as to give my own personal commentary, which is certain to deal with my own areas of procrastination.
