Procrastination

We all do it. Don't even try to lie, you do it too. Procrastination is a serious problem...I have come to the conclusion that my problem with it has escalated to a full on addiction. School just ended (for now), so at least that is out of the way. But I have since found a way to put off pretty much everything else imaginable. For instance, I have needed to get my wisdom teeth removed for...well, pretty much forever, and I finally went and got a consultation in March. Now, it's almost June, and I have yet to make an appointment. I know it needs to be done, but I keep making excuses and putting it off. Why? Beats me. What is it about procrastinating that is so irresistible?
I know plenty of people who are worse procrastinators than me. If you are spending your time reading this blog entry in the middle of the day, you are probably one of them. So I am curious...do we just like to pretend that we are too important and busy to the the things that need to be done, or is it sheer, flat out laziness? In my case, it is more than likely that it is the latter, but I know plenty of Procrastinators (with a capital P) who claim to simply perform better under pressure, so they put things off. Well, I have used that excuse myself, but lately I have come to a realization. How can you claim to work better under pressure and at the last minute if you never try to do things ahead of time? There is no justification for "better" without an instance to compare it to.
All in all, this post really has no point. Essentially all it comes down to is that the whole concept of procrastination baffles me. Who invented it, and why did they make it so damned addictive?
