Is procrastination laziness? Or the product of an easily diverted mind?
I don't think I procrastinated until someone pointed out to me that it was possible to do so.

- "Moonless, this June night is all the more alive with stars. Its darkness is perfumed with faint gusts from the blossoming lime trees, with the smell of wetted earth and the invisible greenness of the vines. There is silence; but a silence that breathes with the soft breathing of the sea and, in the thin shrill noise of a cricket, insistently, incessantly harps on the fact of its own deep perfection. Far away, the passage of a train is like a long caress, moving gently, with an inexorable gentleness, across the warm living body of the night. Music, you say; it would be a good night for music." - Aldous Huxley, from 'Music At Night', 1931
Procrastination is often mistaken for laziness but in truth it isn’t. People who procrastinate are perhaps more regarded as thinkers, they choose to postpone or delay things even though it may appear to them that they're easily distracted but it’s usually a conscience decision.
ReplyDeleteThough students are known to be the best procrastinaters..in fact it's called "the student syndrome" I was a huge procrastinator myself...I never touched a book until the last possible moment when I was at Uni. Are you a student? :)

ReplyDeleteNo, not a student.
ReplyDeleteI can one up you on the procrastinating. When I was a student, not only did I not touch the books until the last minute, I didn't touch the books at all.
The point is that each time you muddle through something after procrastinating, it reinforces one's ability to do it again.
And speaking of procrastinating, how's that for not answering for 13 months?
No wonder I deleted my comment!
ReplyDeleteDon't remember doing that BTW! or why I'd done it.
