Todays’ prompt: What are the pros and cons of procrastination?
As a procrastinator par excellence, I can think of no really good reasons to put things off. When I do,
they always circle back around to bite me. Procrastinating requires the fine skill of lying to oneself, along with the skill of lying to others about why an assignment, chore, and so on has not been accomplished. It’s terribly uncomfortable to have to explain away something that has no believable explanation.
There are times, I suppose, when procrastinating ends well for all concerned. Given enough time, I could probably think of a good example. But I don’t have time. I have obligations today that can’t be put off 🙂
I guess we all see it differently. It’s just finally taking the step that’s the hassle.

Yes. Getting started is the hardest part 🙂

Heavy on the lying to oneself. I think it’s part of a desire for perfectionism that causes me to do it at least.

Yes, spot on! Perfectionism says, “If I can’t do it all right now, perfectly, then I’ll go do something else.”
