A couple hundred years ago, Benjamin Franklin shared with the world the secret of his success. " Never leave that till tomorrow, ",he said, " Which u can do today."
This is the man who discovered electricity. U would think more of us would listen to what he had to say. I don't know why we put things off, but if I had to guess, I would say it has a lot to do with fear. Fear of failure, fear of pain, rear of rejeciton, fear of hard work, fear of...
Do u always put things off?
Seize the chance, otherwise u will regret it.
I've ever regret it!

We have to sweep today's possibility under tomorrow's rug until we can't anymore, until we finally understand for ourselves what Benjamin Franklin meant.
That konwing is better than wondering.
That working is better than sleeping.
And that even the biggest failure, even the worst, most intractable mistake beats the hell out of never trying.
Take care!

When I procrastinate, it is frequently is because what has been requested, I really don't want to do. If I put it off long enough, I might not have to do it at all.

Well,you're right.As you said we put off things with so many kind of reasons which could make us stop discovering.In my view,maybe that's because we don't have a goal,then we would not work hard to approach or achieve that,so obviously there's no so called "chance" to seize.

I have been known to do a little procrastinating. Sometimes I feel so overwhelmed that I start to question whether or not it makes sense to do something. Sometimes I just get so depressed that I really don't care one way or the other. I keep a "to-do" list nearby, but I sometimes find it hard to stay motivated to work on it...
