Procrastination

I think procrastination breeds more procrastination. For instance, I am procrastinating right now because I am lamenting how much time I have lost.

But this brings up an interesting consideration. If I were to increase the size of my workload by several manifold, would that lessen the amount I procrastinate? The answer is yes, but only due to necessity. After all, the alternative is to simply collapse epically under the workload.

But, if I were to then reduce my workload after toiling away for some amount of time, would I retain my new work habits? I think the answer could possibly be yes, but we will have to wait and see first.

Something's not right

The line, "Something's not right," must be the scariest line ever. This isn't saying much, because a single line cannot be too scary in itself, but if a line were to ever be considered scary, this would be it.

Initial value conditions

Sometimes, I think on, say, a math test for example, I could have done better (a purely hypothetical situation). Perhaps I made some "stupid" mistakes or didn't study or didn't know about the test... It bothers me when that occurs. And I don't like being bothered, at least not by myself.

So my new way of thinking about such matters is this: given a set of surrounding conditions a.k.a the "initial value conditions," the probabilistic outcome of me performing the exact same way as I did is very high. When you think about it, it makes sense. If you were to revisit a past event, would you have acted differently? I think the chances of us behaving the same way are very high, influenced largely by the initial value conditions that were lost in translation.

That's why I also don't bother correcting my grammar in previous posts.

Unflushed

Yesterday night, when I was trying to sleep, I had trouble getting out of my mind the image of an unflushed turd that I had seen shortly earlier. As much as I tried shaking this thought, it piqued my interest why I could not shake the image from my head. Seeing a picture of a turd in itself is not bothersome to me - I see turds all the time. It was the fact that no one had flushed it. Because the piece of excrement was forever ingrained in a photo, never to be flushed, it was just so bothersome.

Expectations

I think that when a person claims to be an optimist, that person is lying to herself. Let's call this person Jane, by the way. Jane, is not an optimist because she claims to be one. By doing so, she forces herself into thinking a certain way. Whereas, one who is neither a pessimist nor an optimist would revel being both.

Should we be held accountable?

Consider this: a math professor assigns HW that is due on Friday. On that same day, he also announces that there will be a quiz on Monday. Except that the quiz on Monday contains problems related on the homework due Friday. So why would the homework be due Friday then?
