Is Regularity Too Harsh, At Times?

Now, this question has been bothering me for quite sometime, and has actually come into practice as well. No matter which motivational speaker you converse with or take a liking to, consistency and regularity towards realising your passion, remains the pre requisite. Yet, what about the cheat days (not referring to the sumptuous meals that are a weekend delight), where one would want to take a break from all the humdrum duties and affairs?

Certainly, there are rainy days where one would want to excuse himself from the daily chores and commitments, and simply involve in some form of procrastination of the highest degree. Yet, the logical and moral self says that personal goals and commitments must be addressed to no matter what. Just the other day, a fabulous post on Medium talked about the typos and silly mistakes that normally occur unintentionally, yet a lot of times end up in making the writer feel miserable.

To address such counter thoughts, the writer mentioned that there’s no shame or hesitation in mentioning that each time a person writes something, there would be some lackonas and errors ending with a huge panting. The writer's mistakes are inevitable, and just because they happen, doesn’t really mean that a writer must stop writing. His job is to publish, and he must do that regardless. 

So, here comes the paradox, where on the one hand, you have this constant endeavour to struggle, strive for perfection, and on the other, your extra stretched bones ask for some respite and recess from this packed schedule. What do you do now? Do you indulge in your day and month long habit of taking care of your commitments, no matter what, or do you allow a tinge of procrastination to percolate through?

Perhaps the former, as the number of ambitious people that I have interacted with so far, in my professional and personal life, have been agile, resilient, coupled with a strong sense of perseverance. They choose to go the traditional way, refusing to procrastinate. Not breaking the stereotype, not challenging the status quo. 

In those cases, and also on regular ones, does regularity often indulge in back firing people? Does it get toxic at one point in time? And harsh? Also exhausting and back burning? 

If yes, then does procrastination as a probable solution come to the aid? Or, is it too, like others also detrimental?
