There is only one thing at which I can claim expert status; Procrastination. It’s the one thing I do extremely well. What is procrastination? Merriam-Webster’s dictionary defines procrastination: “to put off intentionally the doing of something that should be done” and “to put off intentionally and habitually.” This has become a way of life for me. I’ve come to the conclusion that I work best under the gun. Class assignments are left to the last minute some of the time and personal projects almost never get done.

Though this seems like a horrible way to do things (which it is) there are benefits. One of which is the ability to multitask. I can juggle multiple things at once. The problem is all of them are at risk of never getting completed. I found a video that sums it up much better than I can at the moment:
