It's said that the art of Procrastination has its roots in ancient times, when our ancestors would rather be doing just about anything than, you know, do actual work.
Take, for example, the great procrastinator, Sisyphus of Greece, who was stuck forever rolling a rock up a hill, only to have it roll back down, and then, you know, start a new hobby.
And then there was the philosopher, Aristotle, who wrote extensively on the subject of "The Art of Doing Nothing" (which, incidentally, became the basis for his famous "The Art of Doing Nothing: A Treatise on Procrastination" treatise).
But, let's be real, the true masters of procrastination were the ancient Romans, who invented the concept of "Tempus Fugit" - Time Fugitive - which roughly translates to "Time's a thief, and so am I, I'll just take a quick nap."
During the Middle Ages, Procrastination took a backseat to, well, actual work, as monasteries and monasteries of monks would toil away for hours on end, only to have the blacksmith down the street steal their lunch.
But fear not, for even in these dark times, there were those who persevered in the art of Procrastination.
Like, for instance, the great procrastinator, Saint Sebastian, who was so good at it that he became a saint.
(Or was he just really, really good at hiding from the authorities?)
In the 20th century, Procrastination became an art form in its own right, with the rise of the "To-Do List" and the "To-Don't" list.
Today, we have the luxury of the "Internet", which has made Procrastination easier than ever before, with an endless supply of cat videos, memes, and Wikipedia articles on, say, the history of Procrastination.
And so, dear reader, if you're feeling overwhelmed by the demands of modern life, just remember: there's always room for a little Procrastination.
