Procrastination? Yeah, kind of.

Procrastination. Sounds familiar, isn't it?

You have a list of tasks to deal with, but instead - you just there, rearranging your books on the shelf. You have assignments to submit in a week time, but you're creating a cute bed for your new kitten. You need to contribute your part for group-work project, but instead you just cleaning and washing your bed-sheet for the second time of the week. You said you want to keep updating your blog, but yet, there - all the drafts that never made up to the public view. Familiar now? hm-mm.

As most people claimed, procrastination is laziness? Well, I don't think so. Yes, the tasks are not done, but look at what you got? A tidy bookshelf, a cute bed for your cute kitten, a clean bed-sheet for you to sleep comfortably, and drafts on your blog that shows you actually have ideas and intentions to-do-so but-you-didn't. Aren't that cool? aha. 

So.. if you think about it closely, procrastination doesn't actually equal to laziness or your ability of self-control or time-management. You're procrastinating just to avoid the negative emotions that come with the task you have. Be it - anxiety, anger, grief, insecurity, frustration, boredom, self-doubt and etc (you name it). Instead of having to go through those said negative emotions, you just opted for an immediate, temporary relief - by doing all of those task that you don't need to struggle in. Some might not be easy, but you just enjoy doing it.

But that is just temporary. You will eventually end up with creating more negative emotions along with the procrastination done. Consequences are known, you name it. 

So, my advice - tackle it well. Prioritize what should be prioritized. Find a way to overcome those negative emotions. Imagine about what will you feel after you finish the task. Isn't it will be a great relief? To actually lift up the burden. Imagine how can you be lazy without guilty after that. IMAGINE. You can stay in the bed all-day. You can cook and eat whatever you like (b-but cooking needs effort :c). You can go out and window-shopping the whole day. (no?) Yea, yea whatever you like. But, IMAGINE. All the good good stuffs, bro. 

In conclusion, suffer now, so you can be happy later. 

Till then, adios. Take care.
