For most of my adult life, I've been excellent at resisting procrastination. I realised very early on that procrastination is the thief of time and that it's much better to just get on with things. All the effort spent in putting them off is just wasted time, energy and emotion.
I've always excelled at working out exactly why I'm tempted to procrastinate (don't really want to do something, don't know how, don't agree with it, etc etc). And then I've always dealt with the issue and not allowed myself to procrastinate.
I've never had the luxury of time to procrastinate before.
Now I have time on my hands, and I've lost the ability to decisively make myself just get on with it. I still recognise immediately if I'm in danger of procrastinating, and I still work out exactly why i'm procrastinating.. I've just lost the ability to stop myself actually procrastinating.
I'm doing it now. Procrastinating.
The very act of thinking about it, complaining about it, googling images to see if any match up with me, writing about it... it's all procrastination.
I think confessing it here is my way of trying to give myself a boot up the backside.
