Why do people do stuff at the last minute?

PROCRASTINATION

The psychological causes of procrastination vary greatly, but generally surround issues of: low sense of selfworth, anxiety, a self-defeating mentality, or laziness. Procrastinators are also thought to have a different level of conscientiousness, more based on "dreams and wishes" than actions and obligations.

Research on the physiological roots of procrastination mostly surround the role of the prefrontal cortex. This area of the brain is responsible for executive brain funtions such as planning, impulse control, attention, and acts as a filter by decreasing distracting stimuli from other brain regions. Damage or low activation in this area can reduce an individual's ability to filter out distracting stimuli, ultimately resulting in poorer organization, a loss of attention and increased procrastination. This is similar to the prefrontal lobe's role in attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder, where underactivation is common.

Some students struggle with procrastination due to a lack of time management or study skills, stress, or feeling overwhelmed with their work. Students can also struggle with procrastination for medical reasons such as ADD/ADHD or a learning disorder such as dyslexia.

I am a huge procrastinator. This website has become my MAJOR way of procrastinationg! I really don't like this about myself, but I usually do really good on the homework or project that I did at the last minute.

Procrastinators unite!!!!!!!!!!1........... tomorrow......

Because they're procrastinators......)(

Some people work better under pressure. Some hope that if they ignore unpleasant problems, they will solve themselves or go away.

Its calling To live on the edge, he he he... its exiting, LOL!

because it's usually stuff they don't want to do!

don't do today what you can put off for tommrow.

some put things off out of fear some do it out of lack of time some do it out of lack of caring about the issue and some do it out of sheer laziness

Simple most people are LAZY

Because they just do.
DUH

I do it because I am always busy.

some people like to be under pressure when they work. some work better under pressure.

they don't do it after that, so anything that is done is done at the last minute. It is kinda like finding something in the last place you look (you always find something in the last place you look because you stop looking after you find it)

coz people screw up everything until last minute .. thats why

People don't do anything until they realize it's almost too late.

I was saving answering this to just before I went to bed here.

Like me they are to lazy to do it earlyer
