I take thee, procrastination, to be my lawful wedded...

I never understood why people do it to themselves. What force on the planet drives them to put things off for later, when they can do them right then? We're always perfectly aware of how horrible it will be in the future once it is put off, yet we still insist on it. 

The usual mentality being, that by some miracle you will suddenly be filled with the work ethic in 12 hours that you seem to lack in the present. And then you go and do something else instead of working, but all you can think about is what you are not getting done! 

Although I do think distraction is a big part of it with me. It would be much more convenient if the television was not going when I happen to pass through the room. 

And even this journal entry is the perfect example. Because it's been a draft that has been constantly edited for a running month! Ridiculous, no?

The mind is lazy. Especially after being worked for 8 hours, everyday, all week. There is a point where it says, "Sheesh! I deserve a break. You can do this tomorrow." And generally, we give in, and then go through one stressful day of thinking the next day to make up for lost time. And after that day, our mind is exhausted again. It's a cycle! 

Winter Break (<- look. I'm politically correct! -_-) is coming up in a few days, and I'm very aware of the homework that I will possibly have over it. I am encouraging those of us who will be in my position, to come with me. In my fight against...procrastination! I vow not to do homework on the last day of break...we'll see how my mind feels.
