Procrastination is like the Dark Lord.
I have to shamefully admit that I put off so many things earlier this week that should have been completed today.
I now hang my head in shame with all the excuses I came up with.
There is always a reason why things will be done later rather than now.
For every thing telling us we should do something now, there are ten appealing reasons we give for doing them later.
Unfortunately, it becomes a case of time catching up and people stressing about things that could have been easily avoided.
I think to put it bluntly, procrastination is a mental form of laziness.
Well YES, I said it.
I should know shouldn’t I?
When it comes to writing, all I have done this week is make excuses .
Another day always seem so much more appealing.
There was no shortage of excuses from:
I feel sleepy.
I will do it tomorrow.
I don’t think I can concentrate right now.
The list goes on so I shan’t say more.
Well thank the stars for a good voice of reason today.
While on the theme of procrastinating…Because I do it so well.
I decided to WhatsApp a mate to have a little chat.
I went on to tell her about how I have been procrastinating this week and that I have two pieces of of writing that near enough met their deadline and some personal blog updating to do.
No shame have I? The audacity!!
I was immediately encouraged to get on with it and though very sleepy, I am now here ‘getting on’.
Hey, don’t judge me!
I know this may not be the most exciting piece yet but I do know that many people fall into this trap of putting things off for later, that can be done now, so don’t mind if I do and may this encourage someone else to get the ball rolling on whatever projects they’ve got pending, whether personal or business .
So now that I have warmed up a bit, I am off to write my two other pieces .
I hope you don’t get bitten by the procrastinating bug and if you do, I hope you’ve got some quick reacting repellent.
Until next time, from my keyboard to yours.
