I procrastinate everything, anything, and all things. It’s really horrific. But, when I get finally do something, just a simple little task that only benefits myself and something that I think most people do without really thinking about it, I realize how nice the little things are.

Getting groceries, washing my sheets, cleaning my floors. All very simple things that I do actually do quite often, because I know I must. But, every time I do one of these tasks, it is a mental fight with myself. I honestly do not know why I am this way. This procrastination issue isn’t for simple little things like I listed before, it is for everything and anything that involves effort. Yes, simple interaction with the real world is an effort to me. Maybe I am just a little mentally retarded, who knows. I have never been diagnosed with anything, nor do I want to. I do hold the belief that modern mental diagnosis for simple things like ADD or ADHD are ridiculous, but that is a tangent I won’t go into for this.

Anyways, what initially provoked this is the ridiculous mental feat of procrastinating going to sleep. Yes, absolutely asinine, and I know it. The reason I was procrastinating this is because I had washed my sheets earlier today, and I hadn’t made my bed yet. Making your bed requires about 2 minutes of effort, but man that 2 minutes of effort is a real (STUPID YES I KNOW IT IS SO STUPID BUT I SIMPLY CANNOT HELP IT) mental block for me.

Once I get over that mental block, and just do it, I realize how nice it is to do things like this. The simple comfort of freshly washed sheets and a nicely made bed go a long way for me. But that nice feeling I get doing a simple task is not limited to a sleep or comfort related task, but everything. Making a phone call to the bank I have been putting off for a while, just doing it. I know how simple it is physically, I know it’s easy and quick and not hard for me to talk over the phone about exactly what I need to do. The mental block is real.

Well, now I can relish in the glory of my freshly made bed, and get a good nights sleep.
