It has always been like that. For the nth time, I put off something that needs immediate attention.
And then when it's due, you find yourself cramming.
You call it procrastination. Who has not been bitten by this bug?
Where did we inherit this trait? It has been said from the Spaniards. They have this what you call manana habit, meaning, when you are supposed to do something, you will instead opt to do it later. Until it becomes night, til it becomes the next day, and you realized you haven't accomplished yet the thing you are supposed to do.
So what's the cure? It's just a paradigm shift.
You just do it. Like the famous Nike ad says.
That way, you can avoid being bitten by the bug.
