Writing Quote

"If due not tomorrow, then do not today."

Unfortunately I cannot take credit for this qu0te; it belongs to my good highschool friend Joe. Although his diagnosed case of procrastination was far more severe than my own, I do believe that we shared similar philosophies about writing papers for school. It's not that we don't want to write the paper now, it's just that there are so many other things that we'd rather be doing instead of a 3-page reflective essay about the reading from "To Kill A Mocking Bird" which we are also putting off reading.
As I matured, I realized that it may be painful to write boring stuff, but it only gets more painful as you get closer and closer to the due date. Thus, a great sense of will power arose in my senior year of highschool, and I began finishing writing assignments well before the due dates just simply out of a sense of responsibility. 'The sooner it gets done,' I thought, 'then the sooner I can do what I want to do with my time and feel relieved that I don't have that writing assignment on my back!
