I will do it... Later

Webster's dictionary defines the word procrastination as putting off intentionally  something you know must be done. I believe everyone can relate or think back to a time when they may have put off an important task which need to be finished or may have had a deadline for something of less importance. Maybe it was a task as minuscule as writing a blog for your English course and instead you decided that going to the mountains because it snowed this weekend and you haven't been snowboarding since last season. (hypothetically speaking of course). Or perhaps it was something more serious such as missing a plane and having to take an extra thirty hours and almost fifteen hundred miles of flights just to get to an airport that could fly me home. If I remember correctly the trip went San Francisco to Oakland via bus, then flew from Oakland to Phoenix, from Phoenix to Las Vegas, from Vegas to San Diego and San Diego to Charlotte. 
My ability to procrastinate, or inability to prioritize, to has certainly caused a bit of problem and some undue stress in my life, but I feel that it may also be somewhat beneficial, because I seem to do my best work when I have a strict deadline to work with. However, I feel that eventually the negatives of my habitual procrastination will outweigh the benefits I get from always being motivated by a deadline, and I am going to do my best to better prioritize and stop procrastinating. Tomorrow...
