Hm…actually, that’s a good question. I’m afraid I’m a procrastinator in the purest sense of the word. I simply put things off for the sake of not doing them.
*giggles* Oh, this is such an honest post! I love it! It just made my day. *wink*
Well, it’s honest except for the statement that you’ll post it tomorrow. So I suppose you’ve continued to procrastinate, and you didn’t want to bother to post three posts in a row announcing to the world that you’re procrastinating?
So, what is your view of procrastination? I mean, honestly? Do you embrace it with open arms, do you tolerate it simply because you resort to it, or do you despise it as an evil that is detrimental to your life?
You talk so much about procrastination, and I was just wondering… *is in a discussion mood*
I suppose my view of procrastination would differ widely based on what I’m procrastinating upon. In the case of British lit, it is a nasty, immature habit. Something I’d be better off without, but that I never really take the time to conquer—the procrastination, that is, although the same is true of British lit. *grin*
That said, I wouldn’t say procrastination is always a negative thing. As a verb, “procrastinate” is essentially defined by what it modifies. (Don’t pounce on me, English majors—I’m sure I’m using the terms wrong.)
So…no, I don’t despise it as an evil. But in this instance, it’s definitely a detrimental habit of mine.
Wow. After all that…I think I’ll go write a literature paper. *grin*

Hmmm… procrastination must have a reason behind it. What ARE you doing?

When do you finish school? Or are you doing year round school?
God Bless,

“I’ll write this post tomorrow.” Seems like you already posted it.

The beauty of procrastination is that even a statement of procrastination may be procrastinated upon.
Which is perhaps why I wrote this post.
