"Procrastination is not the problem. It is the solution. It is the universe's way of saying stop, slow down, you move too fast. Listen to the music. Whoa whoa, listen to the music. Because music makes the people come together, it makes the bourgeois and the rebel. So come on people now, smile on your brother, everybody try to love one another. Because what the world needs now is love, sweet love. And I know that love is a battlefield, but boogie on reggae woman because you're gonna make it after all. So celebrate good times, come on. I've gotta stop I've gotta come to my senses, I've been out riding fences for so long... oops I did it again... um... What I'm trying to say is, if you leave tonight and you don't remember anything else that I've said, leave here and remember this: Procrastinate now, don't put it off."
I live by these words ever since I heard them and possibly even before I heard them.
I'm horrible at being on a schedule. I figure I'll do what I need to do when I want to do it. Only problem is...that's not how the world works. Be here at this time. Finish this by this date. Eat at this moment. You have a test March 9th at exactly 6:10pm. Don't be late. -sigh-
What if I don't want to read 10 chapters before next Monday?? Damn straight. You have no choice. If anyone has a job where they set their own schedule please do let me know because...I'd love to find this new calling. But please let me know ahead of time because I have to pencil you in. Oh my what a schedule I have. I exaggerate of course but I'm sure the world has got their lives on a daily schedule down to the last minute. Like that guy in that movie. Stranger Than Fiction. 
You should watch it. I think it was pretty interesting. Disregarding the fact that I absolutely dislike Will Ferrell and all his stupid characters. I must say though he did a pretty good job on this one. It was a crazy concept...perhaps that's why Will Ferrell played a good Harold Crick. If you didn't see the movie, it's about this guy who, like I said before, has his life scheduled down to the minute and does the same thing day after day until one day he hears someone narrating his life. Only problem is, he's the only one who can hear it and she's plotting his death. So I'm not going to ruin the movie for you but it changes his life trying to look for this voice in his head.See it's not healthy to live on schedule. Okay. I know...that had absolutely nothing to do with the movie nor does it mean if you live on a schedule someone's going to narrate your death. But still! For one day if we could just hop out of our damned closed in protective shells we call our lives maybe we'll find something new. Like you know those hermit crabs. Ok. Maybe that's a better example. Hermit crabs have to change their shells as they grow or else they'll die.....Wow..ok...once again. Death isn't literal. Maybe for the crabs.
Let me start over. In order for us to grow as people I think we need to change shells once in a while or else we'll die (not literally, metaphorically) like the hermit crabs. We'll lose all sense of our own personalities and die on the inside.
Sigh. Um. So yeah....procrastination.
