Procrastination until death |
|
I keep thinking that there are so many things I need to do but just don't get around to, and I think I've come to the conclusion that death will be the only way my procrastination ends.
Know what I mean? What to do when it's that bad? Is there a cure for chronic procrastination? Besides death, I mean.

. If nothing else, death will show you that you had JUST enough time to do everything you really had to do while alive. . . I thought about that long enough for my head to start hurting . Just so that you don't have to. . . . You're welcome. . . . It may have been Carlin, but I think it was Stephen Wright who said: . "Time is just an artificial construct designed to keep everything from happening all at once." .

3. A lot of what I've put off doing, eventually didn't need to be done after all. |

It took that intervening time lapse for the new information to surface which changed the original task into something else entirely.
So in that sense, procrastination has become an effective tool to weed out the truly unneeded and time-consuming chores.
It actually frees up your time.
Remember, it's 'pro' crastination... as in 'pro'active, or 'pro'ductive or even 'pro'fessional.
It's a positive term.
There are many pluses to it.
Embrace it, I say.

5. Oh trust me, I've already used that one up, worn it down to a nub |
|
No, the things I'm procrastinating are really important, the kind of things that really need to happen before you die (eg, making a will, etc) and yet I cannot seem to even start thinking about them, much less acting on them.

I just hope you can afford it. Life is expensive!
