"Let me do this right now so that I can get onto the next task and be one up ahead of everything and everyone". Said me, never. Here are ten lessons that can be learnt from leaving for tomorrow what you could simply do today.
1. Putting it off is fun. The sleep is bliss. The series is intriguing. The friends are fun. Until you're tearing your hair out with stress because you feel like a bomb is about to go off.
2. Time wasted is a lot worse than spilt milk, because I don't know what you've been told, but you could get back some of the milk if you tried hard enough.
3. That movie that you watched instead of doing what you had to do didn't add much to the quality of your existence.
4. Everything was a lot more interesting when you should have been doing something else. Like, boy does this rug need a scrub. And would you look at this messy closet?
5. Everything (else) was more urgent too.
6. You realise that the task you put off for seven hours required 45 minutes of your time. Now you're six hours behind life.
7. Because life doesn't stop.
8. The excuses you made for putting off the task are pretty stupid, in hind sight. You aren't coming down with a cold. Wear a jersey and study.
9. Getting up and doing what you have to do is quite rewarding after completion.
10. Blogging is a form of procrastination for me. I write best when I should be doing something else.
Let me finish knitting this scarf. Winter is coming in fast.
