The Art of Procrastination
Picture this, it's 9:00 o'clock at night and you have a project due the next morning. Heart racing, gears in your brains are turning, and one thing in your head echoing over and over "I shouldn't have waited till last minute." All the distractions though, stress is eating you inside out. Next thing you know it's 9:30 and you still haven't finished half of your project. This my friends is procrastination.
Just like Mason Cooley said "Procrastination makes easy things hard, and hard things harder" he's just telling you to not procrastinate, it makes things so much harder for us. We think procrastinating gives us the easy way out for a while, but then it comes to punch us in the face later on. I mean the word procrastinate comes from the Latin word procrastinare which literally means to put off until tomorrow. I know for a fact that we all here have procrastinated in each of our lives. You all know that I have. We would procrastinate essays, projects, homework. While some adults world procrastinate on things like, finishing a task at work, or making reservations for dinner.
Believe it, or not there is a positive form of procrastination. It is the difference between passive and active procrastination. Okay so you might not know what those two are. Passive procrastination is the poor way of putting off work. You replace doing your work with a useless task. Whereas active procrastination is knowing that there is something that you should be doing, but there is something more important that you should be doing.
