Simply..why I procrastinate....

11/1/2023

It has finally dawned on me why I often leave things until the last minute. I have recently realised that I actually enjoy the pressure of having to do things quickly, in a rush, against the clock. I like the adrenalin rush!

In my busy working life bringing up a family, working full time and studying, deadlines were frequent and I often rushed around madly meeting them. At times it got a bit much but on the whole I enjoyed the fast pace.

Going at a slow pace in order to think about a fast pace and why I someitmes like it..need it even.

That's an interesting line of thought Freda . Being a procrastinator by nature , I blame mine on genetic inheritance. I am awfully good at it 😉

Not sure that I like a deadline to complete a task but the occasional times when I whizz through a list of jobs at full tilt does give me such a sense of satisfaction at the end. Unfortunately that mood strikes very rarely.

I like the word whizz. It sounds like fun!

Jane Brocket recently mentioned ‘whipping round’ an exhibition. My preferred method too, which is why it’s best if I go on my own. Pacing myself to someone who wants to read all the captions, invariably means I have to retrace my steps to find them and I no doubt make them feel rushed.

Barry and I used to go round an exhibition separately, and then take each other to share our favourites. It meant we could go at our own pace, but also enjoy it together.

I sometimes feel that my brain has a gravity-driven processor, it needs a certain amount of events pressing down on the contents before anything comes out!
