Procrastination

Hey guys, it's Adventure Van here with a blog about Procrastination. I suffer from severe procrastination issues, making me put off minor tasks until they suddenly become very major. Many people, possibly including you, have the same problem. I procrastinated writing this blog, actually. But there's a difference from thinking you're procrastinating, and actually procrastinating. If you have a large series of short deadlines, and put off small tasks till those deadlines, then maybe you're procrastinating. But if you have long term, or never, deadlines, and you never get the task done, you're procrastinating. But how do you solve this problem?

People usually say that you should just stop procrastinating. That is, at best, a short term solution. You'll stop, and then get back to it. It doesn't really help. How can you solve this problem long term? You might try putting in place shorter deadlines with more serious consequences, to get you back on track. But if you're a serious procrastinator like me, you may end up just not caring about things in the future and want to deal with the now. If so, the only real way is to get outside help, because it can become a serious problem. If you spend your entire life wasting away only living off of instant gratification, you'll do nothing and end up in a horrible situation. The best you can do is to actively work with people and make an effort and let them help with the rest. It's impossible to help someone who doesn't want to be helped.
