The effort and commitment that goes into not exerting effort can be exhausting thankless work. You should know your craft doesn’t go unnoticed. Here are some #ProcrastinatorProbs:
- The golden tomorrow. Tomorrow is always going to be great. You’re always going to be great tomorrow. You know why? Because you’re going to pull it all together tomorrow. Absolutely kill it all day. You’ll write both those papers (at this point you have no choice) and who knows maybe go to the museum, go jogging even, there are so many possibilities. Tomorrow is always the day where you change and get proactive. But tomorrow never comes, and you’re stuck in today, which is full of Netflix and naps.
- If I start to study now, I’ll order pizza later to reward my courage. Until the pizza arrives and you’re on the same Game of Thrones episode as when you ordered. You shouldn’t have to bribe yourself to do important things. Or the reverse, where you wrote your paper a day early, turned it in on time, so you spend the next two days congratulating yourself on your valiant effort.
- Have you ever impressed yourself with your procrastination? 2000 words and you’re starting it NOW? Damn Ben, still haven’t built that coffee table you got for Christmas? And you’re just using the box as a chair? Wow hats off, it’s a bold move, got to respect that.
- You know who would be great at cleaning the bathroom? Future me. That guy is always down to do a favor. I don’t know how many times I’ve hated past me for what he does to future us.
- Sundays in college are only meant for one purpose to clean up the terrible mess you made of the previous week. Every Sunday I show up at the library, check canvas and immediately turn into a disappointed father, “Oh my goodness Ben! This is not good at all. I don’t know if I can fix this.”
- Halfway through the semester you realize, all you really know about physics is how to make it look like you know a lot about physics. You’ve been training your whole life at how to scrape every slightly nonessential academic minute from your schedule. Now you’re not to proud at your procrastination skills but they keep coming in handy.
Procrastination will never end, at least for all of us in college. The fun stuff just feels so much more important 105% of the time, am I right? We’ll get it together eventually (hopefully).
