Bloganuary Daily Prompt #27 : What are the pros and cons of procrastination?
Procrastination putting off today, what should have been done yesterday, hoping to get it done tomorrow.
I think every person has some procrastination. There are tasks we need to do that we do not like to do. I do not like laundry. Yet, I have to wear clothing, and my clothing gets dirty. I am not super wealthy so I can not buy clothing to replace dirty clothing. I have to do laundry in order to have clothes to wear. But I will postpone doing laundry, or do just enough laundry to have clothes to wear for a few days.
I have thought about if there are any pros to procrastination. I can not think of one thing procrastinating doing that would be a benefit. Cons, there is one simple item against procrastination. Procrastination is a time thief.
Time is always on the move, and only moves forward. Until a time machine is created, time will only move forward. Once that space of time has moved, it can never be recovered. Procrastinating steals our time to get a tasks done. It steals the time we could use to create memories and joy with those we love. In short procrastination steals our life. We put our life on pause, missing the opportunities to experience something that would only happen in that specific time space.
Procrastination is a thief of life and life experiences. There is nothing positive that comes from procrastinating.

Me, Myself and I 
Interesting thoughts – although procrastination has many obvious negative aspects, I have found that a delay in doing something can sometimes be a positive, i.e., having a difficult conversation when I have had time to re-think some of the “problem,” refreshing my mind when I have a writer’s block, and I think what changes it from “con” to “pro” is the motivation for putting it off – to gain something or to avoid something . . . an interesting subject for sure.

I guess the pro of procrastination is avoiding it 🤣.
