Procrastination

In all honesty I have a terrible case of "senioritis" or procrastination that all seniors use as an excuse for being lazy. While I know that being a procrastinator is wrong, I enjoy sleeping and watching movies on Netflix rather than doing homework ahead of schedule. However, that could be the case of my ADD. When I read the article you asked us to read, I thought that the author was 100% correct in describing what it feels like to be a procrastinator. Even though it is "bad" to put off something for so long, it can be rewarding depending on the situation. Regarding Hamlet, his decisiveness is actually okay. His decision to kill Claudius or not is life changing, and therefore should be taken with caution when contemplating if he should or shouldn't go through with his plan. When people say that "procrastination is a bad habit", I don't think they realize that not everything can be done immediately because there are consequences to everything. Hamlet is able to understand this without directly stating this. His indecisiveness is actually good and shouldn't be condemned. There are moments when procrastination is good such as Hamlet contemplating his plan to kill Claudius. However, there are moments when procrastination can set you back, such as me writing this blog post and I keep playing with my phone or find music videos to watch on YouTube. In Hamlet's case, he's doing society a favour in taking his sweet time to kill Claudius.
