I Said, I'll Do It Later!

That's what I always tell the more reasonable, smarter me. "I'll do it later!" "Next week! I promise!" "I have plenty of time!" " My plane doesn't even leave for another hour! Chill!" A lot of us know these phrases, whether it comes from you, your lazy husband, your underprivileged child, or anyone else for that matter. We all know procrastination. I, myself, am very close with procrastination. We do (or don't do) everything together. Laundry, studying, going to bed, getting out of bed, call my parents, etc. I must say though, that sometimes it weighs me down. Sometimes procrastination is just to much.

I think I really want to move on. Find something else like, organization, or efficiency. Procrastination doesn't want me to move though. It uses words like, "You deserve it!", "Have fun!", "You're too stressed out to do this now." Example: You know when you've been around procrastination too long when you have this:




 Ewww! I don't have a big sink or anything, but if I did, guarantee that that's what it would look like. I also find myself, sitting on my floor next to a huge pile of clothes, smelling them to see if they're clean enough to wear again. Wanna know something funny? I started this blog almost a week ago! I've been putting it off for playing online games and watching YouTube. I think my room and my computer are in on it. Trying to keep me from doing what I'm supposed to do, that is. I only have a bedroom. No study, or living room, nothing. Just a bedroom. (This is what you get for living in a dorm, but that's another story.) You can imagine how this can make my new, found reformation to be quite difficult to achieve. My room is where I go to escape from the world and it's demands. Even my own demands. When I'm in the room, I'm not the boss; procrastination is. I need to take control though and tell procrastination that it needs to clean off it's desk by the end of the day. It can't be like this forever. Eventually it will all catch up to me again, and all I'll be thinking is, "Why didn't I do this sooner?".

Please wish me luck on this and I'll tell you how it goes...eventually.
