Here I sit at my job with nothing to do. I know you've heard the same thing from me before, and here is an inconvenient truth... every time I say it, I lie. There are actually several things I could be doing. I am in college, so there is that whole homework thing. I'm one of the few college students that doesn't complain about homework... mostly because I do it at such a well paced rate AKA not at all. Alright, alright, clearly I do homework otherwise I would have been kicked out days ago, maybe even years ago.
However, though I do do... i said doodoo... anyway... though I do complete homework, it is only after I've had my fair share of procrastination. It usually has a negative connotation, which is weird because it starts with "pro" not "con." Procrastination good... Concrastination bad. If this were to be a valid argument... which it isn't... then CONcentration would be a bad thing. Aside from looking at the biological make up of words... procrastination can be good in other ways.
First off... why do we procrastinate... either A. we avoid doing something we don't want to do or B. we want to do something we enjoy doing. Either way the result = happiness. Next... procrastination is not always a complete waste of time. We may not get that assignment done, but clearly I'll get that pop can tower constructed. Unfortunately for me... there are times when I will not get stuff done during this glorious procrastination period. I've allowed several minutes... even an hour or so to fly by having done nothing but stare at an empty jar of pickles (if it is empty... then it wouldn't be a jar of pickles...)... no joke. Pretty sure I have a disorder.
Let's be honest, procrastination is never the easy way out. Procrastination never gets rid of the work needed to be done and thus, one must do more work in a limited amount of time. Personally, I enjoy a challenge.
Well, now that I've used this post as a means of procrastination, I'd better move on and do nothing.
