In their article, Procrastination, Deadlines, and Performance: Self-control by Pre-commitment , Dan Ariely and Klaus Wertenbroch argue that everyone procrastinates. They say that people have selfcontrol problems, they recognize them, and they try to control them by self-imposing costly deadlines. I plan to use this in my paper to show that not only students procrastinate and how people try to control them by setting their own deadlines.

In her article "Calming the Inner Critic and Getting to Work", Allegra Goodman discusses how to

basically become a more confident writer. She talks about all the negative things that come up while she writes and gives tips on how to overcome those obstacles and how to not let that negativity get to you so you can be a better, more confident writer. I plan to use this in my paper by using her ways on how to overcome obstacles (reasons why we procrastinate) and how to become a better writer.

In his article "To See Your Story Clearly, Start by Pulling the Wool Over Your Own Eyes", Kent Haurf argues that every writer has a unique way of writing. I plan to use this in my paper to show that some people may write better when they are pressured and maybe that is their unique way of writing.

In her article, Shitty First Drafts , Anne Lamott argues the fact that everyone needs to write a "shitty" first draft to basically get all your ideas out, then using all those ideas to create a good second draft, which then makes for a really good final draft. I plan to use this in my paper to show how procrastinators usually write a shitty first draft because they write it at the last minute and how when they get feedback and have time to rewrite, they do a better job.

In her article "Directions: Write, Read, Rewrite. Repeat Steps 2 and 3 as Needed", Susan Sontag shows us her creative way of writing and it really appeals to us because we can add our own creativity into it to make it a better paper. I plan to use this in my paper by explaining that if we were encouraged to write creatively, then maybe we wouldn t put off papers until the last minute.
