Counterproductivity

I'm not sure who ever thought procrastination was a good idea.  Certainly hasn't done me any good yet.

The reason I put off things I have to do is because I don't want to put in the effort to get them done at the moment.  I'd rather rest and be comfortable now, and work later.  But that's not how it works.  When I'm putting something off, I know I'm putting it off.  What supposed rest I gain from procrastination isn't that restful, because worrying about getting something done takes a lot of energy - maybe more than just getting done the task at hand.

This is yesterday's blog post, by the way.
