The Procrastination Blog

Welcome to The Procrastination Blog.

Wait, don’t put off reading on … now is the time to cure your procrastination!

“Procrastination is opportunity’s natural assassin.” - Kiam, Victor

Yesterday’s Goals:

1. Finalize and customize the new theme of this blog - DONE!
2. Find the missing wires and fittings of the broken DSL modem that has to be returned to Qwest, so I can give the box to the UPS guy - DONE!
3. Sort through my (too many) websites and domains, prioritize, and decide which ones to sell-off to reduce my online clutter, so to speak - partly DONE

I’m very happy, I achieved 2 out of 3 goals completely, and one partly. So, I’ll carry over #3 as one of today’s goals.

The good folks at Long Beach City College have put together a very helpful page for students about procrastination.

It has good pointers about the causes of this bad habit and how to stop procrastinating. But what makes this sites very helpful if you’re at school, are the videos by fellow students that they link to. These cover topics such as:

• Task seems too difficult
• Lack of motivation
• Afraid of failure
• Don’t see the point

And many more!

OK, here we go. Sorry it took so long … (ha-ha).

I’m going to (try and) write about my own struggle with Procrastination (should it be capitalized?) and my attempts to get to grips with it. (For my own ease of use, and because I’m a little lazy, I’ll refer to it simply as “P” from now)

As - I think it was - Confucius said, every journey starts with the first step, and this is mine. By admitting I have a problem with time-wasting and bad time management, and committing to try and kill the bad habit and get more productive. (Welcome to “Procrastinators Anonymous”!)
