Procrastination

Sure I can't run, don't swim perfectly, ain't the smartest of the lot, don't have perfect vision, don't have a picture-perfect face, don't have marvellously smooth legs etc. etc. But there's one thing I DO have, one thing I have mastered perfectly. I do it so well that sometimes I completely amaze myself. With each passing year it just gets increasingly better. It doesn't deteriorate, in fact I just get better at it.

It's procrastination.

I procrastinate so much I scare myself. Sometimes I procrastinate because I am plain lazy, other times it's because I have no interest in the task at hand or that there are distractions around. I can't concentrate for more than 15 minutes - I start to drift. I can read the one line 10 times and not understand what it's saying, and I'm talking about simple, easily understood statements. Sometimes I think I'm really sick of formal studying after doing so for more than half my life. Do you know that if you keep your mind active, you will be at a lower risk of Alzheimer's disease? But slacking feels so good. Not doing anything, or just using minimal brain power.

Argh! I have so much to do, but I procrastinate so much!

Lazy, aren't I?
