Procrastination is Good

To procrastinate is human nature. It's too bad then, that everyone thinks procrastination is a terrible thing to be avoided at all costs. I've actually found a really good reason to procrastinate- it saves me money.

Perhaps the reason America is so financially insecure right now, is the fact that we go shopping as a hobby. Instead of waiting for items to wear out, or irreparably break, or just plain out die, we wait until they are ugly (at least mentally we think so), old fashioned (meaning it still works just fine- just doesn't have all the cool features that come on version 2.0), or broken (but certainly something a little superglue could fix right up). Instead of the adage of Reduce, Reuse, Recycle, America's adage seems to be increase consumption, use once, and put in a landfill.

So the reason procrastination is a good thing? -procrastinate buying "stuff". Instead of going shopping as a hobby, learn to fix things as a hobby. Learn to mend, learn to glue, learn to duct tape, learn to make things yourself. If you switch these two hobbies around, I know you will be happier, wealthier, more fun to be around, and much better looking.
