Procrastinate: Pro Crastinus

I was working on a project earlier, when I discovered the root of the word procrastinate. As often happens when you learn the origin of a word, you come to understand the thing the word refers to much, much better.

The root of the word procrastinate, is the Latin, Pro Crastinus.

– “Pro” in Latin means “forward” or “in favour of.”
– “Crastinus” means “of or belonging to tomorrow.”

In short, do it tomorrow.

The challenge with putting sometime off until tomorrow, is that tomorrow never comes. It pays to kick the procrastination habit into touch. Or at the very least, be exceptionally selective about what you procrastinate over.
