Procrastination

Procrastination is something I'm sure we all know and have all experienced. Well, what is it? It refers to the act of replacing high-priority actions (such as studying for midterms) with tasks of low-priority(like checking Facebook, email, reading blogs), and thus putting off important tasks to a later time. 


Okay, so I just told you the story of my life.
I thought I'd learned, after going to RDC for a year, and then working, you know maybe I'd done some growing up when it comes to procrastination, or preventing it. Obviously I haven't and really it isn't great to still be a procrastinator. I 'always' have good intentions. And then I think, 'okay Im ready to do some studying, but let's first check....' And another hour  flies by... So sad!


Oh, and did you know that there are books on procrastination. They other day, some of my awesome dorm mates and I drove to a Starbucks/Chapters not to far from here, and sat at this huge (sorta like a kitchen) table, and studied for just about four hour straight. It was awesome. For the maybe ten minutes I didn't study I was walking through Chapters, gotta love that store(especially when you've a good coffee to enjoy!)! I saw this book, and guess what, it was called Procrastination for Dummies....! Awesome, I like. And perhaps one day will purchase it.


But while I wait for that specific book to either end up on my book shelf someday or not end up on my bookshelf, I better get going and do some studying for this midterm I have tomorrow. Because studying some more may be helpful.. 


And stop procrastinating....




PS... did you know that tapping your pencil on your desk, or clicking the back of your pen can be a form of procrastination as well?!!

this is something I am very guilty off. Making many to do lists, sticky notes and such, and then try to get that all done before I do the pressing matter, the stuff that needs to get done, the project that's due today and needs to get printed yet, or study for the exam that is within  20 hours from now..... (you get it) (NOTE: paper on desk saying 'sharpen all pencils' and then the boxes in front of his desk (fyi, a gross is 12 dozen,you figure out how many he's got to sharpen.)

PPS... some synonyms for procrastination are: deferment, postponement, stalling, delay, adjournment, and putting off?!
