<<My life story. If there isn't a desperate sense of urgency, I can't do anything. That sense of urgency gets me the adrenaline kick that I need to clear my thoughts and get off of my ass and do something.>>
I saw this and felt compelled to respond... I used to see my procrastination as a negative trait- but no longer! When that 'desperate sense of urgency' finally arrives, when things are on the verge of going all to hell, then, and only then, do I gather my forces and ACT. By this time, my simmering 'forces' have had time enough to come to a heady boil and I daresay are all the better for it. Kinda like weather systems gathering strength enough to burst into a hurricane or tornado. The amazing things I can accomplish with this released energy of pent of force allows me to accomplish super-human feats (IMO) I would not normally be capable of, in my quest to save my ass. Things like learning a semester's worth of french in a day before finals... believe me, fear of having gone too far, procrastinated finally too late, really pumps you up. So, I now regard my procastination as a positive quality!!
But, one day, I'll experiment with not procrastinating, just to see if things can go better that way, but not anytime soon... |
