The art of procrastinating.

Wednesday, November 4, 2009

The word is Procrastinate "pro·cras·ti·nate" (prō-krăs'tə-nāt', prə-) : To put off doing something, especially out of habitual carelessness or laziness.

Hmmm, that's a word i know too well. But why do people procrastinate? Do we feel that something isn't worth our devotion. Or do we think we are too good, and can wait til later to complete the task. In this particular case, that isn't the point.

So for Business Law, I was already suppose to be reading a book titled "The Elements of Ethics for professionals". Sounds great huh. Well two-thirds already done with the semester, just yesterday did i start reading it. Only because we have a paper due over the first two chapters, which it in itself is 61 pages. Doesn't sound too hard huh. WRONG!!! I would rather be reading twilight saga, or the mortal instruments trilogy OVER AGAIN. So maybe procrastination is the case in this scenario. I put myself in this situation. Great. Now i have 43 more pages to read, and also write a reaction paper. I'm an accounting major, not an English major. I prefer working with numbers than theory. Hence the major. AGH!
