The essential message that the author
(Timothy A Pychyl) is trying to say is that procrastination is burdening you in
the future. The explanation behind why we do this is that we, as humans, think
that we will have something that we didn’t have the first time we thought to
attempt this. An example of this is energy. She also links the reason to
empathy. As human beings, Timothy P. says that we need empathy, not just for
yourself, but for the people you interact with.
I personally think that this is a great
understanding of the action of procrastination. It is also a very different way
of looking at it. This document states that the fallacy of we have something
more tomorrow is just that, a fallacy. This fallacy is because it is
counteracted by the fact that you will have new roadblocks the next day. So, in
theory, it is better to take action sooner than later. This concept that most
people should take through their daily lives.
I responded to this article as well, and I agree with the fact that you are burdening yourself when you procrastinate. I like how you gave us your thought son the subject. Good job!
ReplyDeleteI liked how you acknowledged that you procrastinate too, and how you made connections. I think it's interesting how humans needs empathy.
