why is it so easy to procrastinate?

Procrastination is a type of 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.

I have this habit of cleaning my place before I do anything related to my studies. I make it a point that everything is spic and span, including myself, before I study. I make sure the sink is twinkling and the bathroom smells good. I also like to see my sheets all wrinkle free. The pillows arranged in such a way that when I look at them I want to go to bed. ( ha! which is a bad thing because it really happens... I go to bed. huhuhu) I then take a long shower to feel refreshed and I'm thinking it helps to concentrate when you smell good. Recently added bad habits: the coffee and the cigarette, huhuhu.

But as I finish all these delaying tactics I'm too tired to do anything. And as I have mentioned earlier the bed is summoning me to the hiatus of sleep. Lately what frustrates me more is the fact that I'm still not over "internet addiction" a.k.a browsing youtube endlessly, poking through other people's blogs (and feeling like a loser) and clicking on "check mail" every minute or so. To add to that, I feel like punching myself every hour I recognize I should be at my desk reading Baudolino. Why does it have to be you Bordlinong? huhuhu. Perhaps one good thing is that I'm over friendster. The thing is now annoying, probably because there's nothing new anymore. At least I have reduced the number of worthless sites I usually waste my time with.

I hope I don't do any more to do lists because obviously instead of helping me make things done, they just emphasize how irresponsible I am. It's like a slap on the face, "here are the things you didn't do today". (how do you make a sad face on this thing shet)

Perhaps to answer my question, procrastination is easy because doing things that you're not required to do are a lot more fun or SEEMS a lot more fun. The operative word here is "required".

...I'm creeping back to my desk now. (sad face)
