Why Wait?

If you know that you need to do something....why wait?

I used to drive my parents crazy with "I'll do it in five minutes". But why would I do that? Why do people procrastinate?

The work isn't going to change in 5 minutes, next month, or next year. It still needs to get done, so why wait?

Case in point. I woke up this morning with the intention of going for a 4 mile run. I was out of bed, ready to go, and then got lazy, and went back to sleep. I rationalized it with "I'll run at night. Besides night running will help me unwind, so really, its a disservice to run in the morning."

Of course, the procrastination gods are punishing me....weather.com just listed a 60% chance of rain tonight.....doh!
