Y is for Yesterday, Today, Tomorrow, and Procrastination #atozchallenge

Day Y of the 2013 Blogging from A to Z April challenge. Today's topic: yesterday, today, tomorrow, and procrastination.

As evident by 4 days' worth of posts all posted in a couple hours, I have a problem with procrastination. Or not enough of a problem with procrastination.

My thinking goes like this:

• I have something that needs done by tomorrow.
• I could work on it today. But I could be doing other more fun stuff today, like napping or reading or being sucked into YouTube or cleaning the ceiling fans.
• Yesterday/last time I procrastinated, I ended up working super hard at the last minute and getting it done.
• Therefore, I can procrastinate now just fine.

Fortunately right now I'm mostly working with self-imposed writing deadlines: my upcoming short story book release, May's Story-A-Day challenge, a short story collection coming out in December. But I'm also starting grad school in a couple weeks, so deadlines will have a lot more meaning.

How do you overcome procrastination?
