Before, when I was about 12 or 13, I was big on procrastination. I would put something off until two days before it was due, or I’d not buy a certain necessity until I felt like buying it. (But that was mainly because I have a really bad memory, and it still happens sometimes but it’s getting better.)
Now, since I’m more mature and I’m old enough to understand the importance of getting things done, I want to perhaps educate people (not naming any names here, even though you’re my best friend) who may still have the tendency to procrastinate.
There’s a feeling that you get when you get something done. It’s called accomplishment. You feel good about yourself, and once you finish something, you can take a step back and admire the work you’ve done. It’s great.
Procrastination…You may be having fun first, but in the end you’ll still have to do the hard work. I think that’s worse. Why not get something done first so you don’t have to worry about it later on, instead of saving it for last?
I’m not saying that I don’t procrastinate anymore. I still do sometimes. But it’s a much better thing to get something done than let it sit around until the last day. You’ll feel much better, trust me.
