I Can be a Great Procrastinator, Sometimes
I'm just gonna say that I have things that I've procrastinated and not procrastinated today. Don't get me wrong, when I put off things, it does not mean I'm lazy. Well, not really. Delaying is just way easier, ha! I mean, why does it have to be lazy Sunday? It could be lazy Monday or lazy Tuesday, oh and Wednesday too. I'll take it slow now that I have all the time in the world. So many things to do, so much time yet so little money, arrrgh story of my life! Anyway, I just have things I passionately want to do that I would rather preserve or focus on at a later time. Excuses, excuses, excuses I know. I don't know why but that's just how it works for me, sometimes.

In our super fast-paced, fast-charging, and ever-changing world, it can be hard to keep up with the demands of modern society. We are pressured to stay productive and efficient in order to feel fulfilled or slightly better. While it is certainly not a bad thing to accomplish tasks in a short amount of time, we sometimes put our own mental wellbeing at stake with this hust hust hustlin' and go-go-get lifestyle. Then we feel terribly anxious and useless if we don't get things done. 

My life used to be like that when I was still young and stupid. Looking like the ideal with great future intentions. But beneath the surface was a miserable struggle.  I was too busy for the things that truly matter. After that major burnout, I just had enough. It was time to have a say on things, like what I want to do and when I want to do it. And of course, it was difficult. I was wired to just follow the normal pattern and cling on to certainty.

Stop and breathe.

I'm not going to elaborate on some of my life's major dramas. I just want to share some of the things that I've procrastinated and not procrastinated today, not that you really care about this mundane stuff. But maybe you might get a clue of some of the things that you've been putting off too.

I know you guys hate lists, so here you go,
