Why do people put things off?

Why do I have such a bad habit of putting things off? Today I accomplished in 1 hour what has taken me about 720 hours to bring myself to the point of doing.

In other words, I procrastinated for 700+ hours on what I could have finished in 1 hour. Granted, some measure of desperation finally drove me to confront my worst enemy but still, I can't help but marvel at how UNcarpe Diem I've been.

Bad bad Emily. When are you going to turn over a new leaf? I guess I have an awful lot of leaves to turn over. Oh well, I'll leave these sad ruminations to another day.

On the brighter note, I bought new shoes today. New stuff always inspire me to think I'm going to be a better person. Does that make sense? For instance, now that I have these brand spanking new running shoes, I'm going to go jogging everyday at 5 AM. Hey, the very thought is inspiring, isn't it? I need Rocky music. If I had that playing in the background, I'd be all pumped up and ready to roar. Haha, maybe it's more apt that I play Madonna's "Material Girl" instead.

That's your P coming out. Why can't you be a J? I'm not a big fan of your F either.
