Post 1: The Twilight of Procrastination

As a guy who gets involved with numerous but exciting classes in school, I sure get the itch to procrastinate more and more with each passing year. It's ironic that the more work I have corresponds with the need to sleep or immerse myself in online media in order avoid pending deadlines. Somehow and someway, I manage to keep myself on track with the work I need to finish. Yet, the glorified practice that is procrastination can be seen as a long term cost than a temporary benefit. As a result, I must face the music and realize that procrastination has not helped.

But............

Even though procrastination can be detrimental, it is only a liability in a specific academic context. I always thought that procrastinating meant that you spend more time delaying or postponing the work that you really need to do. However, that is not always the case. Procrastination is really awesome when spending more time in the areas you are more interested in. For example, when I procrastinate, I play the piano, eat snacks, watch news, read articles, and just think about stuff without feeling stressed by school. By procrastinating, it really helped me to feel more relaxed and to better understand the schoolwork involved with a different perspective than before.

Realizing this, I have decided to call procrastination as "Creative Thinking Time."
