Procrastination

Sloth: It is a deadly sin. Probably the one that most affects a lot of AP Language and Composition students. This so called 'deadly' sin takes form in a word known commonly as procrastination. You always hear people saying, "Man, I didn't finish that essay until at least 11:30 last night!" You sloth, you. I think it is unavoidable. It is all about priorities.

How is procrastination unavoidable? Some people are so busy, they actually don't have enough time to finish everything! I don't necessarily consider this procrastination, but their priorities set some of the hardest things to do last. Why would we do this? Maybe because we want to save all our brain power for the last, hardest, thing we have to do? Or maybe it is because that is the only piece of work that is worth staying up for, a form of conscienceless time management.

So we battle this inanimate form of time management. It tends to be a uphill battle for both sides when the opposing enemies are in the same brain. Why do we do it? Avoidance of work. Laziness. It is a stupid to let this enemy on your team. He does nothing and is very non proactive. He doesn't get anything done, and only delays the inevitable. Tie him up and shoot him.

Guess what though, I am blogging on sunday when they are due monday, I am about to do my AP Us history homework due tomorrow that we've had for over a week, and then after I am doing the hardest part: my essay. I still do gotta think of a topic though! But hell, I'll do that later.
