On Procrastination

I thought procrastination would be a fitting post considering the circumstance of this post (a month after my most recent blog post). Once Spring semester of school started and my job, well, continued, I found myself with little time for the online world. Nevertheless, the blog is back.

I've never truly understood procrastination, but perhaps that's just because of my personality, or should I say anxiety because whenever I have something to do, that's all I think about and I can't seem to sleep. Unfortunately, this online class with the laid back 9 month deadline, it doesn't really alert my anxiety meter if you will when I need to do work.

Outside of this class though, school work, papers most specifically, I try to complete nearly an entire week in advance. And, it's not to complete and then go back and look over a few days later to revise, but instead just because I won't be able to sleep otherwise and I want to get it out of the way.

Now, aside from my anxiety, so many people procrastinate. Procrastinate studying for tests, well, I don't even bother to ever start studying since I'm not that good at it, so I suppose I procrastinate that past the deadline. But people procrastinate papers and then write them the night before by popping an adderall and pulling an all nighter. What's the point? We have so much deadtime throughout the week, just set aside 3 hours over two different days, and get it out of the way. Although, I suppose I enjoy sleep more than most people.
