I'll do it tomorrow，I swear!
Procrastination is the thief of time and a lot of students suffer from it．（71）CHowever，they only stare into space，eat snacks，surf the Internet，watch videos and look at their pretty peers sitting around them who，most likely，are doing nothing either．
According to a recent report by the BBC，95percent of us procrastinate at some point and 20percent of the world's population are chronic procrastinators，complicating their lives with their constant delaying of tasks．
The figures are discouraging．（72）D Just look at Hamlet，who is perhaps the world's most famous procrastinator．He is also a university student，and his indecision leads to tragedy（悲劇）in the biggest way．
Procrastinators like to find excuses to justify their behavior，but BBC columnist Rowan Pelling says they are all wrong．
（73）E Pelling says this is nonsense，as work done at the last minute is more likely to have mistakes than work done on time．She says the behavior of procrastinators often makes them feel nervous and ashamed，inconveniences others，and annoys loved ones．
Pelling also points out that procrastination feels particularly delinquent（不良傾向的） in a society that views swift action as praiseworthy，and，at times，even as morally good．
（74）FPiers Steel，a Canadian social scientist and author of The Procrastination Equation，believes humankind is"designed"to procrastinate．Nevertheless，he suggests a couple of good ways to get through the task at hand．（75）ABreak the task down into small pieces and work your way through them methodically．The second is ingenious：Give a trusted friend a sum of money and tell them that if you don't complete the task you have undertaken by a specific time，they can keep it or donate it to a cause you hate．
A．The first one is obvious．
B．But this does nothing to break the spell．
C．They could spend whole days in the library doing nothing useful．
D．Procrastinators are less wealthy，less healthy and less happy than those who don't delay．
E．Many procrastinators tell themselves they are perfectionists who work best under pressure．
F．Fortunately，social scientists have thrown their weight behind efforts to understand this behavioral weakness and offer strategies to control it．
G．Paralyzed by their habit to procrastinate，they write micro blogs about their fears，asking their online friends if they sometimes have the same issue．
