Why is that problem just so darn difficult???
No matter how hard I think of getting all organized and becoming the next Martha Stewart, I seem to fail at conquering the disease of procrastination. Why is it so challenging you might ask?Well, I have a few ideas of what may be swaying me away from my daily chores.
The computer is a constant struggle to take myself away from. To me, there are so many great websites that fit my liking. I love the seasons, decorating, baking, art, crafts, etc. The many reasons of why I catch myself on Better Homes and Gardens.com, during a busy school day in the comfort of my own home. Not good...
Laziness. I struggle with that BIG time. The "Oh, an essay? I'll just finish that later" type of thing. Like I have some huge assignment or project holding me back from starting on it right that moment? I don't. Instead, I choose to sit back, relax, and worry about those things weeks later. Although, when those essays and chores start to pile up, it won't be very relaxing. :(
This past week, I made the poor decision to put important assignments on hold. It is quite the long story, so I will just cut to the result. Due to my procrastination, I had to skip out on a fun opportunity with a very special friend of mine, whom I only get to see once in a while. Along with that, it caused my mom and dad to miss out on some fun activities they had in mind, such as a coffee date or maybe even joining me and my friends at Roger's Gardens (if I could have gone).
It is one thing when your actions effect yourself, but certainly another when it effects the ones you love.
So- I have enough time to change my habits. I still have my life before me, and I don't want to battle with this thing called procrastination.
Let's hope I stick to it!
