I know what I should do,

The little things that nag me.

I know what I want to do,

The things full of glee.

I sit at my desk

Ready to progress,

Fingers hover the keyboard

But suddenly, I'm bored.

No,

I'd rather be on my phone,

Text a friend,

Than be all alone,

Doing work is gloomy,

I'd rather watch a movie,

Or play a game,

Productivity's lame.

How about

I read a book?

Surely that

You can overlook!

I'm learning, aren't I?

The statistics don't lie,

Reading builds the brain,

Helps keep us sane.

Wait!

It's already midnight?

And the deadline's at eight,

Boy do I have a plight.

Focus, mind!

Your already behind!

Don't miss a beat,

It's time to complete.

That was a close one,

But I got it done,

If only I had listened,

I may have had more fun,

Let's start what's next,

You'll see the effects,

But before that leap,

Let me go to sleep.
