Learning by doing is not only effective, it also becomes fun, and has a more tangible output/process. It's even harder when you're on your own, with no coach or teacher to guide you, and you have to battle inner demons to make any progress towards your goals. "Learning" is the most common reason for starting a side project. The following 'reasons' can also be seen as a list of benefits people have derived from side projects, whether intentionally or unintentionally.

The common theme is that people derive a sense of joy, satisfaction and achievement by doing so, and this positive boost keeps them hooked. There are a variety of reasons why people pick up a side project. This article was originally published in August 2014 and has been updated.This post is in continuation of my earlier post on Side Projects: The most under-rated strategy for success in which I explored what Side Projects are. If the concrete slabs around your home (or your garage or basement floor) need repair, don’t ignore it and contact the Concrete Raising specialists today or tomorrow or the next week (just kidding!) Putting things off will take more of your time your money and can affect the success of any outcome. Take care of the priorities you have set.

Putting a chemical, like TK-290 Tri Siloxane Sealer by TK Products, on your driveway before winter sets in will help seal it and protect it. Take care of your driveway with a little preventive maintenance. If you wait too long, the replacement of your driveway may be your only option. Practicing the fine art of “procrastination” in repairing your driveway may make replacement unavoidable.
#Reasons to get it done cracked#
Repairing your sinking, cracked driveway with polyurethane foam is an excellent way to avoid it replacing it. Waiting will only increase the cost of the repair.)ĭepending on how long your concrete driveway is, it could cost you $7,000-$15,000 to replace it. The earth may still be settling but the foam will help strengthen the ground and will fill any voids that are there. (If it is under 10 years old, you still want to have it repaired. If the poured concrete is over 10 years old they will guarantee that it will not sink again or they will repair it again for free. This expanding foam will expand 7 feet in either direction filling the gaps under your concrete and raising it as it does. Concrete Raising Systems repairs uneven concrete driveways, sidewalks, patios, or porches with polyurethane foam. Waiting to fix your driveway, sidewalk, basement floor or steps, may result in the cost of materials going up to $4.00 to $5.00 a yard per year. Waiting to raise an uneven and cracking driveway will cost more money.

If you put off studying till the night before the test, something may come up that prevents you from studying or you may need more time than you thought to cover the material. Wait to weed your landscaping and it takes twice as long as there are twice as many weeds. If you pay your taxes late, you will pay a fine. Take your diet: Putting off eating less or eating better can result in more weight gain and a correlating decline in your overall health. Putting it off may result in a less than favorable outcome.Like a good procrastinator, you put it on the bottom of the list with an added “I’ll take care of that… later.” Projects that need to be done look as though they could really wait a while.

Sound familiar? Sometimes life gets in the way of doing the things that need to be done. Procrastinate: to put it off, do it mañana, later gator, I’ll get to it tomorrow.
