The Mythical World of Tomorrow

Ah, tomorrow. A mystical land where all of human achievement is stored, sometimes unconsciously, usually not. With just one, “I’ll do it tomorrow,” you have successfully put some of your own achievement into Tomorrow, and you probably won’t get it out anytime soon.
So, how exactly do you fend off Tomorrow? Well, it’s pretty easy, and it only takes three things: Time, honesty, and a whole lot of boredom.

Let’s cover boredom first. So, for this first step, you can just sit around and do nothing. You may only eat, drink, breathe, and study. For as long as it takes for you to build up that much boredom. No, you may not play video games, you may not do your homework (yet), and you may not go outside. Now sit on the couch and breathe.

Bored yet? Good. Now, the honesty comes into play. What do you need to do? Why did you force yourself through all of that breathing? Do you need to clean your room? Your house? Do you need to feed a pet of yours? Well, then get to it, and none of that, “it doesn’t have to be now. I’ll do it later.” Later is just another word for Tomorrow.

Lastly, use your time. To do what you need to do, of course! This is probably the easiest step of the whole guide, and yet so many people can’t do it. They say they don’t have the time, that they’re too busy, to do what it is that they need to do, but if it’s just done, you don’t have to stuff it into Tomorrow and dig it back up again. That’s just more work than necessary.

So, in conclusion, you don’t need to say that you will do something tomorrow, just bore yourself into doing it! Ah, you know what? I’ll conclude this thing tomorrow.
