Wayne’s Word – procrastination

What have you been putting off doing? Why?

It’s a little nod to Wayne’s World, but instead of ‘party time, excellent’ (if you are aware of the cult nineties classic) I will be diving into one WORD each day. It could be something I learned, something bizarre that happened, a favourite word that I have rediscovered or just a thought that won’t leave me alone.

Today’s word is PROCRASTINATION.

Procrastination – the art of putting things off, even when you know you shouldn’t.

There is something strangely familiar about it, that quiet resistance before starting my uni work. I tell myself I will just check my messages first, or make another cup of coffee, as if those tiny detours will somehow make the study load lighter. I find other things to do, hoover the house, put a wash on, anything to keep me from starting to essays to write!

Deep down, I know it’s not about laziness; it’s about knowing the work will take time and effort, and not quite being ready to give it yet.

However, procrastination has a way of following you around, a quiet reminder that the task isn’t going anywhere. Eventually, I will have to sit down, start typing, and wonder why I waited so long in the first place.
