“Just remember that the hyperactive and immature part of your brain is taking advantage of you.”

Actually, in a different way, the decision-making part of our brains can also be called “immature”. As teens/college students, that part of our brains is not as fully developed as the “ADHD” part, which I think is partially to blame for our rampant procrastination. Of course, I’m not trying to say we’re all blameless, because we’re not.

On another note, as simple as it is, that’s some really good advice. There’s no more direct and effective way to get over those temptations to procrastinate than just pulling out the work and starting. Confucius say, “Journey of 10,000 miles begin with one step”. [/cliche]
