Is there something worse rather than procrastinating?

   One day, sometimes I wondered and asked myself, did I ever do procrastinating? then my answer is always as same as usual, I did. but wait, even if I did that, I always have a version of the definition of that term. 

   The definition of procrastinating for me is not the same as well as other people will agree refers to the literal meaning of that word which is as a reference to physical and mental exhaustion, instead, my definition of procrastinating is a pause or freeze moment due to experiencing intolerable circumstances. then what are intolerable circumstances? they are not effects by non-physically and mentally exhausted, because they were controllable, they are situations that probably could not be controlled such as noise from your neighborhood activities like rebuilding a house, tantrums of children, or music with a high level of volume.

   When all those things happened or one of those things occurs, I always doing the procrastinating itself, because it obviously would be made me can't reach the maximum comprehension or satisfied accomplishment due to whatever I do during intolerable circumstances and I'm always put barrier or space to how long it necessary to procrastinate, then continued whatever activity I did before. so far, at this moment procrastinating with a commitment is not big trouble that will lead us to catastrophe. So, I think sometimes it's ok to do procrastinating. 

   Procrastinating will be a catastrophe or a worse thing when we do not have a commitment to how long it is necessary to pause the activity. Because there is a monstrous sense in our thought which usually trick our minds, it was an action that is called deceitfulness to ourselves. for example, when I said to myself that I'm committed to continuing whatever I did before at 09.00 pm today, instead of fulfilling that commitment, I try to add the space or barrier or time to avoid the commitment itself. well, that is the beginning of deceitfulness to ourself is begin that is why lying to yourself is worse than procrastinating, because it cost so much, it's a sign that you're not enough trustable to get act yourself together and take responsibility for what you're committed. it was cruel and brutal when you have to lie to yourself and risked yourself being a person that was categorized as a lazy person with post-modernism justification. as like what Kim Wexler said "You do not get to make up your own rules. Put on your big boy pants and face reality."
