"I'll do it later"

I begin to write this after finding a bit of research for my latest University assignment, so at least I got some work done. Why is it I'm so uninterested in doing something that will really benefit me though? I've abandoned further research in favour of loitering the internet and writing a post for a blog that about only 10 people probably bother to read. It's a common thing, everyone puts off doing things they need to do and this is often regardless of whether they enjoy doing it or not, does everyone search to live a life of all play no work or would that not be too easy.

Surely the satisfaction of completing something that's neccessary is a good enough feeling to motivate me to keep working at something rather than leaving it to the last minute or is the fear of not meeting a dealine a greater motivator than actually achieving something. Maybe people are affected by different motivators, if something appears easy and is instantly easy to understand do you complete it straight away because you know you can or do you leave it to the last minute because it's not a bother. I think the fact that I decided to work on the assignment today rather than later in the week suggests that I'm motivated to do it but when I can't quite grasp what is needed it feels better to put it off till later.

In an ideal world I think that com pleting a task as soon as possible is always the best way, the feeling you have when you know you have at least 2 days of not having to care about anything is much better than knowing in the back of your mind that whilst you're slotting home another goal on Pro Evo that you will have to get round to completing your task. Let's not forget that the quality is usually better when you complete it early as you always have more time to check over your work and improve it, maybe writing this is a good bit of advice for myself that I should take note of.

"Get the work done straight away, do your best to grasp what is needed immediately rather than thinking it'll all work out, you have to make it work" How insightful :D
