I’ll Come Up With A Good Title … Eventually
“I’ll get to it … later.” A phrase we all know and love, some of us more so than others. One has even become a super hero with the catch phrase “I’ll get to it … EVENTUALLY!” (15 cool points if you know exactly what that is from) Now I’m fully expecting dancing lobsters to be at the end of this post. (if you don’t know what I’m referencing by now you lose 15 cool points) Before I get completely lost in making references to old TV shows I’ll get to the point of this post.
We seem to love to procrastinate all the time. Even if you say you don’t, you do. Whether it be for school, work, laundry, groceries, or even showers we seem to put it off till the last minute. Why for all that is good and gravy do we do this? Is it cause we’re lazy, no cause we get it done just later. Is it cause we have poor time management, possibly. I say neigh, and not because I’m a horse, cause I’m not, I’m a very cool and masculine unicorn. I say we procrastinate because of the adrenaline rush we get. For whatever reason we as a people today thrive under stress. Only when we are under duress do we get stuff done and save baby’s from burning cars and what have you. Therefore we instinctually wait to last minute when it is most stressful to get our ships in a bottle done oh and other important work.
I find this most odd because we spend the rest of our time, when we aren’t stressed out of our minds, sitting in front of the computer or TV bored to death. How often do you find yourself in front of facebook mindlessly stalking old friends, ex’s, and your crazy neighbor Steve? Why is it that we must be in one of two states of mind: stressed out or bored? I have no real good answer for this, other than the old man answer “Kids these days don’t the value of hard work.” Having nothing else really to say I’ll cue the dancing lobsters now.
