It's that time of year; I have homework up to my eyeballs, and my apartment's never been cleaner. A few months back, my apartment was a disaster, and I surpassed my fitness goals. Last summer, I hardly picked up a dumbell, and I was caught up on summer reading.
Everyone looks at procrastination as a bad thing, yet I am never more driven...to do anything else. Nobody says that the distracting task needs to be a time-waster. Productive tasks can also serve to distract me from the main objective. Eventually, it all needs to get done. You might as well spend your time distracting yourself from A priority tasks with B priority tasks (that will eventually become A priorities) than watch every single video on your newsfeed after getting caught up on your watch later list. What's important to remember is that there is always a more daunting task just waiting to be avoided. Whenever I get the oppressive notion that I really ought to hit the books, I just remember that I've also got taxes to do.
