To Put Off Something

In Canada, it's normal to put off something for another day. We're just overworked people...

Sometimes we put off something because we're not ready to do something. Maybe it's because we procrastinate too much, or we're just too lazy. 

Putting something off in your life can make you forget about something very important, so it's best not to put off important events and problems you must solve now.

A good reason why people put off something is because they need to reschedule. Sometimes it's hard to manage your schedule, and if meetings are too close to one another, you might need to put a meeting off so it doesn't conflict with another.

In Canada, we don't have a billion holidays. We're very busy people. Well, we do have a fair share of holidays, but a lot of us even work those days. Even on Christmas, people still work, and the country just doesn't shut down. We also have boxing day which is the day after Christmas. Some of us even work that day too!

When you shut down your country due to a holiday, you loose money, and productivity. It's hard to get back into the game when the holiday weekend is over. 

I like the idea of having a vacation, but not at the same time as everyone else. Could you imagine everyone trying to get into Turkey or Egypt at the same time? It would be crazy... Actually, I can imagine it.

Don't put something off when it comes to your health. You could end up here.

Some people put things off like their health till it's too late. In some countries, people don't like to visit the Doctor. They wait till the last minute until something bad happens unfortunately. 

Things like cancer need to be dealt with swiftly in the early stages. If you wait too long, it could be too late. Cancer has many stages, and I am not a Dr.Nick from the Simpsons to explain it all to you. 

Others like to treat themselves thinking they too can be a Doctor. It's hard for the average Joe to get a hold of equipment like a MRI, and an Ultrasound. Maybe those who are lucky can borrow one from their friends.

I know when I visit the Doctor, I always bring a bottle of cognac and a bar of chocolate with me just in case. You never know what mood the doctor will be in and especially dark chocolate can change the mood.

I'll admit, I put things off too a lot. But I always have them in the back of my head.

If you don't want to put things off, then just do it. Like good old Nike says....
