Procrastination

To delay what could be done now!

Lately, well actually for quite some time, this is what I have been doing, or not doing, more to the point.

The question I put to myself is, 'why'?

It seems I need a strong motivator to push me to do what I know needs doing each day.

When someone is coming over, I am motivated to organize and clean. The amount depends on who the guest is. With family, who know me the best, less needs doing.

Housework is repetitive, and not being the perfectionist I was in my youth, it is low on my priority list.

Fun activities are worth pursuing in my mind, and if able, I will drop everything to join a group for an outdoor activity, a movie, or just to visit with a friend.

Writing is another pursuit I find is easier to engage in without much, if any, procrastination.

Preparing for the facilitation of another divorcecare session takes some prompting to come to fruition in time.

After writing this article, I think I know the answer, at least partially.

What I enjoy is considered a priority, and is done in a timely fashion. The rest can and does wait!

Does this enlightenment mean I will change? Probably not, unless motivated.

And the upside, I just realized, is that my balance is being achieved using procrastination as the filter!

Who knew how useful this 15 letter word can be?? Or is that rationalization??
