Who Procrastinates? Audience Description Post

1. Male or female of any race, gender, or religion, ages include: the moment you can read to 120+. Not to be unrealistic, but I think that if you have been a procrastinator all your life, or you acquired the habit, it is never to late to be inspired and do something that you yourself are stopping yourself from doing. This audience is very broad, quite literally everyone human because I believe we are all procrastinators in some way, no matter if you have a good relationship with deadlines, other aspects play a role. Non-procrastinators may not be a major target, but it is not to say we should exclude them as habits can change and are sometimes variable. I would only exclude the most organized and non- procrastinating person on the planet. However, such an audience would only include machines.

2. A 90 year old man who lived a quiet life in a farm village on the outskirts of Vinnitsya, Ukraine. He was married to a woman who was once his schoolhouse classmate, they had two children, one of which moved away to Israel, and the other to the U.S. Five years ago his wife died and he has been spending his days living alone next door to the nice widowed baker lady. He has never had the chance to fulfill his dream of riding the high speed rail in Taiwan and each year he keeps saying: "Oh, I'll go some other time." This essay is meant to inspire this man to GO GO GO! NOW! HIGH SPEED TRAIN! WOOOH!

A 17 year old high school junior who cannot start the beginning words to the government essay due in 36 hours.

3. My audience and I both share habits that lead to ultimate procrastination: time management, planning, goal setting. We both have an incentive to fix this issue, that is, if I can convince the audience that there is a problem and that it can be fixed.

4. We do not necessarily share backgrounds, interests, or goals in life.

5.  It may be difficult to persuade audiences that don't have similar goals that I would. Writing an open letter to myself, I may be appealing primarily to future goals I would like. Although I am open-minded, I may not encompass all possibilities and so to appeal to these audiences, I will need to allude to many more examples, or a more general sense of goals.

6. I can allude to personal experience with procrastination, there is a general blueprint of how the experience flows and it generally functions similarly from situation to situation. There is a task or goal, a repression of that task or goal until a certain time period before the deadline at which point panic sweeps in and scares off the repression until the task is complete.

7. I would need to reject principles of hopelessness and disbelief in the ability to change habits for the better.

8. Objections could be addressed after the explanation of procrastination under deadlines when the argument would digress into procrastination in the absence of deadline. At this point, procrastination can become our detriment and consume our lives, it becomes a critical issue and objections here could be dispelled with the direness of these kinds of circumstances.
