The art of Procrastination

Ughhh... I am not a blogger. Why am I not a blogger? Because I am a procrastinator that doesn't like writing. I'd much rather avoid something I know I should do by filling my time with other less-important tasks. If I knew why I did that I could probably get myself to quit though even that might not help.

The ironic part about this entry is that I'm blogging as a result of procratinating finishing a work assignment that is overdue! But it seems so much easier to finally create an entry here than to get back into my work assignment. I know, it doesn't make sense. I have to finish this work assignment tonight, and putting if off only means I'll be up late getting it done. Yet, that knowledge isn't compelling me to re-order my tasks.

If I try to put my finger on the cause of my procrastination I would hazard a guess that I do it because I want to put off the distasteful task as long as possible and then condense it into as little time as possible. In a sense sqeezing the task into the space between a rock and a hard place so it's just one giant horse pill rather than a whole bottle of little ones. I know, still not making sense.
