I'm a really great procrastinator. When I was in college (it's so weird that I can say that now) I was the master at starting out with the best intentions toward a project or paper, then bam! It's the night before it's due, and I'm up til 3 am trying to finish it.
Funnily enough, I seemed to do my best work while up against that wall. I am a master BS-er apparently.
But the real procrastination that kicks me is when I put off a work out.
Take yesterday afternoon for example. I was feeling a little sleepy after lunch, in part because we were up early for Adam's appointment. Even though I knew I should get up and go run, I fell asleep instead. Because I'm LAZY.
I still got my run in last night, but if I had run earlier, maybe I could have avoided the nausea that cut my run short.
Another problem I run up against is that the days are getting shorter, so if I wait to run (because I'm lazy) or we can't do our bike rides in the morning (because of conflicts), we run out of day light. This is a problem. If you are asking yourself, "Why would this be a problem?"
Let me answer you, kind reader. Adam and I ride road bikes and a majority of the places we ride are on roads and we are averse to getting hit by a car. We like living, it's a fun activity and we enjoy it. So we try and ride whilst there is day light. I also don't really enjoy swallowing bugs, and the likelihood of that happening increases in the dark.
Running after dark is a different story. My only problem with running after dark is the stupid mosquitos. I wish they would all die. Scientists even say they are useless and could be wiped out. We should do that. Where was I? Right, running in the dark. I kind of like it. It's cooler, I feel more confident for some reason. Or maybe that's my training kicking in. I don't know.
I need something to kick my butt off the couch when I am feeling procrastinatory. Suggestions?
What do you do to beat off the procrastinating faeries?
