Arrrh procrastination, an art-form of which i am very familiar. In fact i must admit i am procrastinating at this very moment. But why is it that people see procrastination as so bad and evil?
During one of my many “procrastinate from my exam study sessions” I came across this article by some Hara Estroff Marano bird, who stated that:
Procrastinators sabotage themselves. They put obstacles in their own path. They actually choose paths that hurt their performance.
Now to be honest is this a fair statement? I personally think that i not only learn some great facts and skills through my procrastinations but i also get things done around the place. For example if my procrastination gets really bad i will actually resort to cleaning the house, going for a run, or posting on the web. i feel that each of these things are vital to ensure i have a balanced life.
If i didn’t procrastinate, my life would be dull, I would spend 18hrs a day doing maths, Dynamics, curriculum programing (they always choose the most boring tasks), etc. But as a part of my procrastination i not only learn a number of new skills, I socialise, and i actually get things done around the house (washing, cleaning, etc - you know those silly hygiene things….)
Anyway as a celebration of the art of procrastination i would like to dedicate the following OUTRAGEOUS film clip to Bungalow J. Wombat, esq. Who is the true king of procrastination:
Good-luck in the BAR Exam mate, we all know you can do it.
