Procrastination
Procrastination

I don’t know about you but I am endlessly unkind to my future self. Whenever a task proves too irritating or annoying, my tendency is to consign it to the future. The expectation is that tomorrow I will feel differently and somehow the task will be more doable. Sometimes, this is even true, but more usually I just find myself in a developing groundhog day of putting things off until the next tomorrow.

Strangely, this behaviour is successful in an unexpected way. After being trapped in a procrastination series, I often face the inevitable and admit that I will never manage the task. It can then be given up without remorse or further reflection. It’s an outcome of sorts, after all.

Ideally, it would be best to develop one’s ability to assess a task before accepting it, so that only those well within possible range be accepted. That would be worth working on.
