<p>As the title reads, what is the most time you’ve ever spent on homework, either because of your procrastination or capacity to be easily distracted or the mere fact that it was just a huge assignment? </p>
<p>I think once Sophomore year, I had put off a massive week-long assignment for APUSH until the night before it was due and I had worked for 14 hours on it. I did not sleep - I came home from school, began working on it, and did not finish until it was time to get dressed and go back to school the next morning.</p>
<p>I do my Calc and chem problem sets really slowly. Once I spent 3 hours on 20 questions. The most time I’ve spent on an assignment was probably 6 hours for a bio project I procrastinated on until the very last day.</p>
<p>Not sure…I stayed up until 4:00 a.m. once freshman year, because I stupidly waited until the night before it was due to start reading To Kill a Mockingbird, and doing the responses, which in total, were ~5,000 words long. I have no idea how much time was actually allocated to working rather than procrastinating, but that’s probably the most I’ve ever done in one night.</p>
<p>As for overall assignment, probably what I’m working on right now: my summer reading homework, which is due tomorrow. Luckily I started this in early August, so I only have some to do tonight, but in total, it’s going to be ~11,000 words, by far the most I’ve ever written for one assignment. Technically it’s three separate assignments, but it’s that total combined amongst the three. I’m really glad I didn’t procrastinate too much on this, otherwise I would have been screwed.</p>
<p>Speaking of Bio projects, my friend and I decided to work together on a human body textbook type project (essentially making a small textbook on the human body, roughly 40 pages with hand drawn pictures) - and the day it was assigned, we divided up the work and set up a schedule that we thought would be fail proof. We were mistaken, and we ended up pulling an all-nighter the day before and it was awful and hilarious at the same time. We took naps throughout the day in our classes, while one monitored the teacher, the other slept…</p>
<p>I don’t really procrastinate - I like to start on things as soon as I get them (unless it’s a stupid worksheet for a BS class like health - but I don’t really procrastinate on those so much as I choose to not do them). So I’ve never had to pull an all-nighter for homework. The longest I’ve spent in one day is maybe 6 hours (which is rare, it only happens if my teachers decide to gang up on me and I have multiple project/tests/papers on the same day). If I need more than that I just skip that class which gives me two extra days.</p>
<p>One day freshman year, I had procrastinated on two major projects. I had to finish my literary folder for Romeo and Juliet and get my atlas for geography together by the next day. This wouldn’t have been so bad, except I had lost/torn a LOT of the maps I needed for the atlas, meaning that I would have to redo them, not to mention all of the written responses I needed to finish for the literary folder. I also had an APHG review session to go to after school, so all in all I ended up going to sleep at 3 AM, waking up 6, and still didn’t finish either project by the time I got to school. It was an absolute nightmare.</p>
