Procrastination is an Energy Booster?

Procrastination, everyone tells you to avoid putting yourself in situations where you feel rushed and leave things to the last minute.

I know for a fact that when I procrastinate, I do get the thrill of knowing how fast I can do something or the fact that I actually got something done. In the end though I do not get a huge boost from that 5 minute adrenaline rush. In fact I think it is the quite opposite. Normally after I rush through doing something I end up feeling exhausted and barely relieved.

Why do we do this to ourselves? And I know I am not the only one who procrastinates "every now and then"...

My challenge for the week and you too, is to create a new schedule and get stuff done on time or before its due that is. Sometimes I end up making myself extremely tired for the rest of the day and always ask myself why I did not do it earlier....

Does procrastination give you energy or drain it?

  1. HA, yeah right. Ill admit it could work both ways, a procrastanator can be positive for those who work good under pressure, and a curse for those who just dont have enough time in the day but crumble under pressure.

  2. As much as I try, I always end up doing things at the last minute. Today for instance. I was trying to get my homework done BEFORE the weekend began. It is now Sat. and I am in front of the computer.:( Why??
