2 Work philosophies of mine

1. Why do it later when you can get it done now?
2. As long as you get it done on time, what does it matter if you do it later?

Both philosophies work pending on the situation. Sometimes its just easier to hold things off til a little later. But with that comes the fact that you will be thinking about how much you don't want to work on that assignment in the time that you are not working on it.

As much as we dread doing something when we don't want to do it, we must remember that eventually we have to do it, and pushing everything back only means more later.

Case in point: You just ate macaroni, now your bowl is dirty, you can put it in the sink and let it stay dirty and just get to it on another day. Lets say its finally Sunday, you look in the sink and realize you have lots of dishes to clean now because you had let it all pile up. Now if you had washed your dish when you finished then by Sunday you may have very little to none to have to clean.

But when you do decide to procrastinate til later, the problem isn't just thinking about it when your not doing it, but the problem that you may have even more to do later...so its best to be strategic about what stuff you put off til later and what stuff you do not.
