I  have a huge issue with procrastination and I am really not afraid to admit it. I have been a procrastinator for about as long as I can remember. I would procrastinate on my little amount of homework in first and second grade. I realize that I have a problem with procrastinating and I know a couple other people who do. Why do we procrastinate though?

This is a question that I have recently been pondering. I have one answer that seems to almost fit: Laziness. It seems like a good way to explain procrastinating but, I doesn't seem to completely explain why people do it. Yes, you may be to lazy to lazy to do something now but, you still have to do it at one point in time. So that doesn't fit. If you are completely lazy, the work will never get done and that is not procrastinating.

I really don't know if there is anyway to explain why people procrastinate. If it's not laziness, then what is it? I don't know why I procrastinate, I just know that I do it. The interesting question is can I stop procrastinating? I have found that removing distractions is a really good way to keep yourself from procrastinating. If I need to do homework, I will turn off my laptop. If I need to type a paper, I will close my web browser to avoid going on Facebook. 

Do I procrastinate in my spiritual life? I briefly wrote about this in my last blog post. I didn't cover much detail on it though. God is alway there with us. Yes he is omnipresent but, he choses to do anything that he knows will help you and protect you. He did not procrastinate or hesitate in his sacrifice for humans, so why should we procrastinate in doing something to glorify God? It is interesting to think about.
