The thrills of procrastination!

Procrastination tends to follow me - it's like stuck on me like a leech.  I kick and slap myself 101 about it but make no progress is shaking it off.

Is there a thrill in pushing things to tomorrow then either bashing myself for missed opportunities, or rushing to meet deadlines yet I had all the time yesterday to get it done?  I just don't get it.  Indeed I'm addicted - totally hooked - to adrenaline. 

Take an example of me blogging.  It's been about a year since I made a note to self to start blogging. I went ahead and even created this page.  But that was about it.  Now it's almost 10pm - I need to be getting ready for bed but instead I'm blogging about me blogging.  I'm procrastinating again - on good night's sleep. 

But for a good reason.

By acknowledging my weakness and naming it, I'll work towards hitting it with all the darts I can get my hands on.  I'm kicking it out for good.  I'm already looking forward to the next phase.

Yes, I WILL HOLD MYSELF ACCOUNTABLE.

Tick tock tick tock.

Off to bed now.
