Well here it starts I am writing off my first unedited words on how not to procrastinate even though it’s 4:21 am in the morning and I am watching a movie while I should be in bed instead as I have to wake up early to meet someone at 8 am. Well here goes some words out of my brain. What I am expressing might sound like bullshit unless you’re standing in front of a huge list filled with todo tasks and you’re doing nothing but just reading my take on procrastination hoping that it could help you seize the pain of feeling guilty away from your brain that procrastinating have grown on you.

Procrastination is a war deep down inside in your mind if you want to be glorious and win you gotta get your mind clear first. Going back and forth through the movie and writing this my mind drifts into thoughts thinking that procrastination might just be a way of expressing stress or better to say our daily habit of stress relief.

Perhaps I should be focusing more on my entry lines. Instead it might need to be like. It’s 4:29 am my mind is shifting and drifting in thoughts after a long period of procrastinating. On the other hand I am trying to get to a conclusion on why we procrastinate and how to extinguish it. While writing the last sentence accidentally I wrote “convulsion” instead of “conclusion” so my procrastination mind instantly started steaming and thinking hmm I should find out what that word means! By now you might be thinking what the heck is he trying to say? Well I am just trying to give an example to all of you who don’t know what procrastination feels like and what it feels like to be procrastinating. Wait there is more while writing “coming” on the last sentence accidentally again poof I wrote “comping” and boom voila there my brain again thinks of this brilliant idea to spend some more time again and lose all the sleep I could potentially be catching but instead I set off to Google to find out what the hell “comping” means.

Having finished my journey in finding the meaning of different words that trigger my curiosity. I start thinking that there is more to procrastination than just being a form of expressing stress. It’s curiosity that amplifies it and in today age where algorithms got so damn good that you could easily get you trapped on a YouTube random video loop.

Well I guess this was good for now. I have to get back to my movie my curiosity if triggering again who knows what journey it might start now. Anyway if you don’t see me publishing anytime soon on the art of procrastination you can tell for sure that I have been procrastinating as hard as I can.

Until then feed the meter.
