kitanziHi. My name is Larissa, and I'm a procrastinator.
I've always been a procrastinator, but lately I'm more aware of it - maybe because I'm doing it more, with less excuse than I used to have. I procrastinate on things I know perfectly well that I need to do, things that I know will make my own life better even, but I just can't bring myself to get them done. It feels like a heavy weight of deliberate shirking, dragging me down until I'm just short of actual pain over it, and THEN I do something about it. I have no idea why I procrastinate so much. Some are obvious, like paperwork or housework. Some are things that I know will make me feel better in the long run but are tedious or unpleasant in the short run, like exercise. Some are actually things I'd like, like continuing email conversations with friends, but I don't seem to get to them anyhow for one reason or another, and those are really baffling.
I don't particularly expect me to make sense, I guess, but I can't help trying to figure it out. *shrug*
