Procrasti-Nation<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

We went to the beach last Sunday (you can read about it here in TravelingBoy.com<\/a>). You\u2019d think that I would take in that ocean air more often considering the Pacific Ocean is less than 20 miles away from me; but no. I always think I would do it next week and next week never comes. Similarly, I regret I didn’t visit the Smithsonian Museums more often when I lived near Washington, DC. Yup! I admit it. I\u2019m part of the Procrasti-Nation. If you\u2019re honest, you\u2019re part of it too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We Southern Californians procrastinate going to nearby places which global tourists visit in droves. And we return the favor and visit their touristy spots which they (the locals) rarely visit. Explain that to a visiting alien from space.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I wondered if there’s a term for this. Couldn’t think of any and so I asked AI to write a song about this. I was impressed. So let\u2019s all rise and sing our AI-inspired Procrasti-National Anthem:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

(Verse 1)
Welcome to the land of procrasti-nation,
Where tasks disappear without hesitation.
I’ll get to it later, I swear I will,
But for now, let’s chill and just Netflix and chill.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

(Chorus)
Pro-cras-ti-nation, the art of delay,
In this realm, productivity fades away.
With every excuse, I justify my hesitation,
Lost in the twisted path of procrasti-nation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

(Bridge)
One more cat video, one more quick scroll,
Oh look, an email, I’ll just read it all.
Time slips away, how quickly it goes,
In procrasti-nation, even minutes are foes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

(Chorus)
Pro-cras-ti-nation, the procrastinator’s dream,
Avoiding work has become my daily regime.
The to-do list grows, but motivation is weak,
In the vast land of procrasti-nation, I seek refuge and peace.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

(Outro)
Oh procrasti-nation, my constant companion,
I’ll conquer you someday, with fierce determination.
But for now, let me bask in your sweet embrace,
As I procrastinate, leaving tasks in disgrace.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

(Yes, Chat GPT AI actually wrote that song)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But more than procrastinating on work and chores, I think the things I procrastinate and feel guilty about the most are:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
