Curiosity Killed the Ditz: Procrastination
Why;
the three little words that haunt my existence. From the moment I could
speak I always wanted to know why. Now as an adult I am finding less
and less people that want to answer my questions. I have been called
nosy or weird, and angered many a person, with just those 3 letters.
This is my story, quest you could call it, to try and find answers to my
Whys.
WHY DO I ALWAYS PROCRASTINATE?
8:30pm on a Wednesday night. Deadline for the Curiosity Killed the Ditz is in an hour. No, subject matter in sight. What is a girl to do?! Why do I do this to myself, why do I always Procrastinate! Ah ha!
And so it begins....
Procrastination is my arch-nemesis. Worse than the Joker on laughing gas, it haunts me all the time. But Why? Well I don't know about you but it is usually because I don't Wanna, I don't know how to Start, or I am just Chicken. Lets look at them one at a time.
I Don't Wanna:
Yup I am a giant child. Short of throwing myself on the floor and kicking my feet, I can throw a fit to make a 2 yr old proud. My whine has been perfected to be finer than an aged Merlot. (btw.. My whine can also cause a wicked headache, just ask the BF). So yes, I Don't Wanna is the the best friend of Mr Procrastination.
I Don't Know How to Start:
Fuckin empty page, how you taunt me. The hardest words are always the first ones. Once I get going, It's not an issue but wow, the first ones are horrible.
I am Just Chicken:
I don't Wanna can be the twin of I am Chicken. So often do we say I don't Wanna and in actuality we mean I am Just Chicken. Ever put off that Doctor Apt?? Hmmmmm, don't wanna or afraid of the lecture. Ok, I am afraid of the weight discussion. Sigh, no I haven't lost those lbs.
Well this was enlightening. I learned a lot. In fact I am going to write next weeks blog right away, get ahead, yeah that's what I will do...what, do i want to go play a game? Sure, I have all week to write my blog, it can't hurt to put it off, can it?
Keep questioning.
Love,
DD

That is you, alright. And almost 99.999% of the planet! Nothing says holy shit I need to hurry quite like procrastination. It's inspired us to do some pretty amazing stuff: speed dressing, cleaning, working, etc. just to name a few things.
ReplyDeleteI procrastinate until I can just no longer put it off. Or something.
