Often the most productive times that men have in their lives is when they need an excuse for why they didn't do something else.
My dad had a garage project to get done this weekend and spent most of Saturday morning cleaning the kitchen. I can remember times my brother slept in a little past church and vacuumed and cleaned before his roommates got home. I often get more housework, or shopping, or chores done when I have a lot of homework I should be doing than at other times.
Why are we this way? Is it guilt? Is it our weird way of feeling productive? Are we trying to make up, in some way, for the procrastinating we have already done?
I don't understand it, but it is alive an well in my life, as I need to write 35 pages worth of papers by Thursday night, and haven't even opened Microsoft Word. Hopefully by this time tomorrow I will have some of that out of the way.
