My Thoughts On Procrastination

    Procrastination. We've all done it, we all do it, it's basically a part of life. Putting off something that you know you have to do in favor of doing in later is more or less common sense. It's something that I, specifically, do way too much. I'm sort of a procrastination professional. It's true because it alliterates. Jokes aside, though, I really, really procrastinate too much. By nature, I'm sort of a lazy person. I don't like to do much, and if given the choice, I will not do much. When it comes to doing work or not doing work, I tend to choose the latter. Unfortunately for me, the work often times has to be done at some point. Throughout the course of however much time I have to do said work, I will continue to bargain with myself about "great" reasons why I should not, in fact, do the work now, and instead wait to do it later.
    It's not like I'm actively trying to put off things that I have to do. It's just that it's become so natural that I do it without thinking. Before it even registers to me that there's work that needs to be done, I've already thought of a happy handful of excuses as to why I shouldn't be doing any work right now, and when I can just do it later. Believe me, I'd really like to get out of this mindset. It really is not helpful to my work ethic. Since I started college, I've been getting better at it, but I still have to actively remind myself constantly that there is work to be done, and that I need to do it sooner rather than later. Hopefully, I'll get rid of my PhD in procrastination soon. I don't want it anymore. That's it for today. Until next time.
