… and it kinda sounds like I’m proud of that, am I right? Well, not really. But accepting the problem is the first step to be able to fight it. They say.

In my humble opinion, procrastination doesn’t mean that you are a freaking slacker and just don’t do things you’re supposed to do or you even want to do. It just means that you are doing many things you absolutely don’t need to have done in that particular moment, day or month. Anything else besides the real deal seems urgent.

Imagine it’s friday. The beginning of July, temperature allows eggs to be fried on the road and on Monday you’re due to send in that last essay to finish your school semester. You started to write it already, but there is still a lot to do. You reach for the book you are using as a source of information, and at that very moment you spot your skiing outfit, lying on the bottom of your wardrobe. Since January, by the way. Wow, I really need to fold it right now, pops in your mind.

Things like that are happening to me on a daily bases. The worst about it is the fact, that rather often I keep postponing something for ages, while it still takes up some space in my mind, causing unrest. That type of feeling “I gotta finish that soon”, “I  should..”, “I’m supposed to..”. Once the universe constellation is right and I get to get it done, I realise how much worries I would safe myself if I would have done it when it first came up. Dang.

Right now I’m working on some seminars I’m about to present later this month (cheers, Frank!), and guess what. I’ve opened all my documents, files and sources of inspiration.. and at that very moment I felt like I shoud finish one of my articles first. And so I’m writing this, very important indeed, article.

…

Two months later, I got to reopen my draft folder. And I had a good laugh about it, to be honest. This is just so me. By the way, I’ve managed to finish all three of my seminars on time, with a whopping 7 spare minutes before the deadline.

Yay!^^

To sum it up, I think this is one of my biggest flaws and I’m going to fight it. There are so many things I sincerely want to do, but how do I know whether there is even going to be any tomorrow?

Let’s start today. Let’s start NOW.
