Procrastination

Is a behavior which is characterized by deferment of actions or tasks to a later time. Psychologists often cite procrastination as a mechanism for coping with the anxiety associated with starting or completing any task or decision. - Wikipedia

I've been teaching Time Management and I always stress in class that this is one of the behaviors one should avoid. Easier said than done. SInce I was a kid, I used to procrastinate. I remember when we were in high school, me and my sister used to have study tables beside each other. I was wondering how come by 8pm she's done with all of her assignments and even if she has an exam the following day, she can still finish by that time. I even quizzed her just to check whether she really studied and yes, she was able to answer my questions. In college, it was the same thing. I would normally not sleep especially during exam week while my sister is there sleeping soundly. Guess what, she graduated with honors but this is another topic. Now that I am already working, I always experience "rushing" some of my deliverables. That was when I came to realize that I kept on delaying things.Wishing that I can defer it simply because I dread doing the work. As a result, I tend not to be productive and highly stressed.

Questions in my mind -- perhaps it's time to really think whether I like what I'm doing or do I have need to go to a more stressful environment (my gosh, if you dont classify my current one as such, i can't imagine what it's like out there), or do I need to seek a psychologist (it might be a too abnormal behavior).

Sydney

The past two months me, my mom and brother-in-law exchanged schedules in staying with my sister in the hospital. It was a delicate pregnancy that she was for bed rest for more than a month. Now, we welcome Baby Sydney to the family. Yehey, clap clap....Bryce now is a certified KUYA. I am wondering why is Sydney staring at me.
