We don’t stumble over mountains; we stumble, trip and fall over small pebbles. But an aggregation of small pebbles soon will become a mountain.
That’s the truth. I am stumbling over a mountain.
I have been greatly vexed by small pebbles that I will only name for the sake of getting past the first step to recovery, denial.
Pebble number one—Type One Procrastination, which goes by the surname Easily Distracted.
Being easily distracted is a very common disorder and usually develops in adolescence. Most individuals will not understand the seriousness of type one procrastination until they have sat and watched Spongebob Squarepants for 6 hours, trying to figure out who Sandy Cheeks’ voice comes from, knowing they have a science project due at 8 am the next day.
Pebble number two—Type Two Procrastination, which goes by the surname I Wait Until The Last Minute To Do Everything.
Last Minute syndrome is a more serious phase. You have to consider the individual already has experienced Type One Procrastination. So even in the last minute they are still distracted by something as minute as the blinking colon on the lcd clock, sitting on the left side of the desk in their room.
Pebble Number Three—Procrastination, Pebble Number 6,998,421.4—procrastination.
If you don’t understand yet, I have an issue with procrastination.
But I have a dream, that one day, my pen and paper, my finger and keyboard, my body and soul will break down the barriers of procrastination. My children will be able to play on the monkey bars the day before their science project is due. From the first page, to the twenty fifth page of my research paper, their will be no procrastination. I will become a 4.0 student. Oh wait, this is my last year of school.
I wrote that just before my last semester of college, guess what, I got my 4.0’s my last two semesters.
