What are you putting off? What bad things would happen if you stopped making excuses and tackled something today?
(Would you do it wrong? Would you fail to meet expectations? Would you have to do it even better next time?)
Well, considering it's almost midnight, I've definitely procrastinated this post all day, even though I read the prompt this morning. Not really for any specific reason, just cuz I didn't feel like writing about it earlier.
Today I have procrastinated studying all day. I have a final tomorrow, and while I'm not nearly as worried about it as I was for my Friday final, I still should have spent today studying. What did I do instead? Cooked dinner, watched tv, spent countless useless hours on the internet, hung up a bulletin board on my door. Pretty much anything other than study, which means I will now be spending the next few hours cramming instead of sleeping like I should. Nothing bad would happen at all if I were to have actually studied today, in fact, very good things would have happened. I would have been bored, but I would probably do better on my final tomorrow than I will now.
Schoolwork is definitely something that I am a pro at procrastinating on doing. I don't really know why, because I end up stressing myself out over it, and I usually have at least some time to work on it much earlier than the weekend before it's due, but I still don't do it. I know that I could do such better work if I would just put the effort into it that I need to. I think about doing it, but I can always find something else to do. Which is why next semester I've decided that I am going to spend one hour a day doing homework or reading over my notes. Kind of silly to only start this in my final semester of my degree, but I'm still going to at least try to do it. I'm going to schedule a time everyday where all I do is schoolwork. I actually decided this a few days ago, before this prompt came up, but maybe posting this publicly will help force me to actually do it.
