Is it OK to precrastinate?
You’ve heard of procrastination, putting off tasks you’d rather avoid doing until
you have to, but what about precrastination? The name gives a clue. Pre- means
before, so it’s the opposite—completing tasks before you need to. So, why do we
precrastinate, and is it a good thing, or not?
Precrastination is closely linked to anxiety and neuroticism. People want to
finish tasks early so they don’t have to worry about them any more. Ed Wasserman,
a professor of experimental psychology at the University of Iowa, said
precrastination is “the inclination to complete tasks quickly just for the sake
of getting things done sooner rather than later”. This means you’re doing something
early at the expense of something else. That could be a physical, financial or mental
expense. Imagine you submit an essay a week before the deadline. You feel a huge
sense of relief that it’s over, but also can’t add the last-minute tips your teachers
gave you. If your marks are then lower than they could be, will you feel better in the
long run? Possibly not. Also, if tasks are rushed, they are more likely to be less
carefully planned, so results could be incomplete or inaccurate.
But we live in a fast-paced world, so it’s hardly surprising that we want to tick
off tasks as soon as we can. David Rosenbaum, a professor of psychology at the
University of California, believes “It should be agreed in our society that it’s OK
to smell the flowers. To be deliberate, mindful and to be allowed to slow down.”
If you think you are a precrastinator, what can you do to still
feel productive? Prioritise and categorise tasks. What needs to be done straight
away, and what can be put off? Recognise that some tasks need breathing room—
they can even benefit from it.

Test 10
W: It's been around for more than 200 years, standing at the entrance of my village. Theold tree is
so big, that it takes two people to hug it properly, When I was a kid heading toschool in town, I'd
walk past it every day, Back then, was too womied about staying fed andwanm to think much ofit,
it was just a tree, as ordinary as any rock on the side ofthe road Thenafter years of hard study,
waiting for my college letter, I found mysdf staring at that tree.hoping for good news. Days passed
when it felt like, somehow, this tree and I had built up this bond, this fhiendship. And guess what?
Theletter came. When I went to the city for college thatSeptember, walking past that tree hit me
hard I looked back, and through its branches, I couldsee mry home, my family waving goodbye.
Fast forward to when I was 21, 1 used to work in avillage. There were times I just fdt the urge to
see that tree and my family, so I'd walk thosethinty lilometers ofmountain roads, And you know
what? As I got into writing, that treefound its way into my stories, I am successful, However, when
I find myself stuck in mywriting, I will go back to see it, It's fortunate how a tree I once passed
without a secondthought has become such a big part ofmy life.
