Procrasination

Procrasination. What is it? Why are some of us so good at it??? I'm doing it as I'm blogging about this because I'm reluctant in writing a literature review which I've set a goal to get done by the end of this week. I think while I know if i get to work and get it done by my set goal time, then it will be ideal for me to leave the rest of next week to study for finals. But noo, maybe I need that added pressure in order to get things going so then I can reflect back and say "I knew I should have finished it earlier!" Psychologists say that "procrasination is a coping mechanism for anxiety associated with starting or completing a task." As a result, individuals end up feeling guilty, stressed and lacking personal productivity which ends up to even more of a inability to start/complete what they intend to do. Another trait that procrasination may reflect undoubtingly is: Perfectionism. In no way am I perfect but I guess that strive for perfection does play into my procrasination for certain tasks.

At least I have two sentences written, isn't that a start?

Got lower back pain?

If you are unfortunate like me to be blessed with tight hamstrings, you may be prone to lower back pain. Today my back is killing me. It was tight all weekend but I woke up with my lower back hurting. You may be wondering what do your hamstrings have to be with your lower back and that is because believe it or not, the hamstrings originate in your lower back. So try taking a break from sitting at your desk for too long by standing up and/or walking around and doing a few stretches to relieve the pressure on your lower back. Just google "hamstring stretches."
