Musings at Altitude

I’m convinced there are two types of people in this world:

     (1) those who plan everything days to weeks to months in advance; even years in advance when it comes to things like retirement

     (2) those who wait till the last possible minute to do what’s needed; even when something critical is at stake if something goes wrong in those very last minutes

Procrastination is seemingly ok if the only thing that happens affects you alone.

But how often does that really happen?  Where only you are affected by something that goes wrong because you waited till the very last minute before doing something?

That probably happened in the early years when school was involved and a test grade was the outcome.

That may happen in your adult years when you wait till the last minute to do only something that you may have wanted to do and end up not being able to do it because of something that went wrong for you.

But other than that, I can’t think of much else.

Procrastination in its nastiest form creates undesirable outcomes too many times to make any possible rewards for procrastinating acceptable.

Risk versus rewards.

This one doesn’t fly.
