The Pain of Procrastination

January 9, 2022
By Anonymous

I sit down to work

a cup of water by my side

I am ready.

But as my fingers wrap around my pencil, I think

This is boring

Once this thought enters

my mind,

my devious fingers 

already 

have YouTube ready and open.

Before I know it,

I am sucked into

a deep hole

of random cat videos.

An hour goes by

my paper is still blank

and my cup of water is still full.

I find that procrastination is a big part of many people's lives, student and adult alike. I wanted to describe what is going on when someone is procrastinating, and what they are most likely thinking and doing.
