This trait present in all of us was one of my favorite pastimes. And still today I am plagued with it when so often had I followed my instincts and not “put off” something for another time when I was waiting for Jupiter to align with Mars I would have saved myself money, angst, consternation and a hell of a lot of trouble. It is often my conscious mind that keeps me putting off things when my intuition tells me to do it and do it now. Procrastination for me is filling out paperwork, applications online but mostly it’s about telling the people we care about the things we need to say to them like the things they don’t want to hear. It’s easy to open our mouths when there are no real consequences. It’s when times don’t go the way we’d like that procrastination is the easier softer way. No more excuses procrastination has to go the way drinking did: exit stage right.

Great move if you really do it. This is my theory do the things you dislike most and the rest is the reward.
ReplyDeleteProcrastination is something you battle all the time and it takes effort as well as determination. And your comment is well taken because if we do the more difficult tasks not only will everything else be a reward we will enjoy the effortless things with greater satisfaction.
