Procrastination

Sometimes I think I am the queen of procrastination. I have this pile of work to do…and really, it wouldn’t take me too long to get it done. But its the idea of moving from my comfy spot on the couch to do it.

Okay, so you might call that laziness rather than procrastination. But isn’t that part of the same thing? Anyway, why do people procrastinate? Usually the things we put off are really not hard things to do.

But we wait and wait…and then its the last possible minute and we have to get this thing done quick. But when you first think, oh I have to do this thing, you also remind yourself how much time you have to do it. And that makes you put it off until later.

Well for me, some of my best work has been procrastinated work. In college, I’d wait until the night before to type 20 page papers and get A’s on them…I’d have professors use them as examples. I don’t know what it is, but my best work comes out of a huge procrastination session.

Anyway, to make a long story a little shorter…I’ve just spend the last 10 minutes typing this…and I have a pile of work to do! (Those papers I am dreading grading from the earlier entry…) And now its 8:45 pm and I am going to bed at 10 (up at 5:15!!) so I have to stop writing this and go grade my papers.

Can’t procrastinate anymore….

I’ll be back…
