Procrastination. Noun. Defined in the Wiktionary as, the act of postponing, delaying or putting off, especially out of habitual carelessness or laziness. This word is a pretty good word to pin to me. I don’t like doing work. I like being on my computer. If I can avoid doing something I will. If I can be on my computer instead of doing something else, I will also. The only time I will actually do something that I want to avoid is if I get rewarded.

One thing that I have been putting of is studying for exams. I hate exams. I hate studying. I’ve actually never studied in my life before because I always put it off. This year is the same, three subjects, I need to study or else I will fail. Even if I do study, I will definitely fail at least 5 papers. I have put off studying every year that I still have to learn the ability of study. Everyone else is studying and mastered it years ago, but not poor old procrastinating me. I’m going to suffer for my laziness

Another thing I have been putting off is this blog. One reason is because blogging means I have to think which means I have to use my brain. I don’t want to have to think about things, I want to rest my brain ofter a long hard day of lazy. You may have noticed that I dropped the posts from daily to every second day. This was because of two reasons. One, I was too lazy to write every day and decided I would much rather skip it every second day and have ten minutes longer to watch a TV show. The other reason is that it is really hard to think of something to blog about. I can’t believe this blog is still going to be quite honest. I would have expected it to die a long long time ago. If this blog survives with regular updating after the new year, I think I deserve a medal.

Speaking of TV shows, I do not know why I download 23 or so TV shows a week. If I was limited to how much I could download, I could easily round it up into the half a dozen or so shows I must have, but because I have an unlimited amount of usage, I end up downloading a big amount of content each week. Why do I do this? For entertainment? To give me something? To make my boring life go faster? Or is it to give me reasons to avoid the stuff I don’t want to do, in this case, homework, study, dealing with issues and my family. Honestly, half of the shows I download I could do without, there is a lot of crap on TV.

This problem I have with putting things off is not going to go away. Its been with me for too long to just disappear. It is in my nature to be lazy and put things off. Procrastination is going to lead me to fail, but hopefully when that time comes, I can put off my failure by doing something else.
