I want to take a week to catch my breath after the string of angry and sarcastic articles that I have written. The past few weeks have caused my blood pressure to spike in ways that I only thought water boilers could reach. So this week, I wanted to shift gears and talk about something near and dear to my heart — procrastination.

I have a deep problem with procrastination, and that problem is that I do not ever want to stop procrastinating. As crazy as I get from the stress and the pressure, I cannot make myself try to get work done at a manageable time.

In fact, I am currently trying to write this article just a couple hours away from my deadline, and I know that my editors will kick my butt figuratively if I do not submit it on time. What is the best part about it? I tend to do things more effectively if I wait until crunch time to work on it.

My "Fallout" character needs some attention right about now — and so does this article, I suppose.

See here's the thing — procrastination was not always such a bad thing. The Ancient Greeks and Romans used to laud the practice because it gave their leaders a better chance to think their ways through the decisions, only getting into action to do something at the last possible moment.

That's what breaks down the really beautiful aspect of procrastination that many don't consider. If you actively procrastinate, not only are you acting out an oxymoron, but you can also get a whole lot more done that originally intended.

See the best way to properly procrastinate is to not just sit around and play games or watch Netflix, but to try to do something that can still be productive and less stressful. Take, for example, that term paper that you need to get done.

You know that you need to finish and submit it by midnight. Well instead of spending all of your time trying to finish it, you realize that you need to wash a load of laundry. You then get up from your computer and wash your clothes, which your roommate thanks you for.

It's really getting out of hand Tyler.

So you finish your laundry, which hopefully wasn't as stressful as finishing your paper. During that whole time, you had the chance to clear your head, get some air and now you are ready to sit down to finish that paper!

The other thing that procrastination will help with is your creativity.

See, if you wait to start working on that paper the week before, then you will more likely spend that whole week going over that paper with a fine-toothed comb in editing. I do that constantly with any short story or book chapter that I try to write. It drives me insane.

I have no push to get the work done by a certain time and thus spend way too much time trying to change what I have already said. This will happen with your paper that you need to finish. So I propose that you try a little bit of procrastination. It will help to silence that little voice in your head telling you that you need to change what you have already written

You pretty much have enough time to get the words down and make sure that the work is proofread. What happens is that your stream of conscious tends to take over and you get the chance to truly create without over-thinking it.

I'm not saying that you need to put off everything until an hour before anything is due. Most likely you will end up failing a lot of classes if everything you do is delayed. My point is that it is alright to take some time to do something else when you have that paper that is due at the end of the week. It could help make it the best paper you ever write, and you might just finally finish that load of laundry that you have been putting off all week.

Still talking to you there Tyler...
