Stopping Procratination

If you're anything like me (lets both hope to God that isn't true) then procrastination is probably no longer an obstacle when it comes to working. Its most likely a lifestyle by now. I've gotten so accustomed to either putting off work until the very last minute or relying on a combination of luck and improvisation to get most of my tasks done.

Everything I've been doing recently, from school papers to articles, has either been the result of an intense caffeine session or an exercise in escapism. As my dad loves to put it, I'm getting older (thanks dad!) and this sorta shit just won't fly anymore. I can't keep relying on lady luck (who, admittedly and thankfully, has been more of a "lady-tonight" than a "stuck-up-bitch-who-never-shows-up") and one-liners to save my ass from another deadline yet again (I'm running out of said one-liners). Things have got to change, 'yo.

So I did what my generation does when we need answers to possibly life-altering questions.





Which led me to Steve Pavlina's blog. The guy's got a lot of self-improvement articles up there that a.) Doesn't sound preachy as fuck, b.) Doesn't make use of a lot of exclamation points, i.e. "Change your life NOW!", and c.) Doesn't ultimately try to convince me to buy a goddamn book.

Seeing as how I spent the entire day sleeping and ingesting caffeine (I couldn't let good coffee go to waste) I'm probably just gonna read this 'till the wee hours of the morning.

While putting off more work, of course.

Is reading about procrastination a good excuse to procrastinate? Probably not. But to hell with it, I'm-a do some self-improving NOW!
