The Time-Stealing Art of Procrastination

Beware the ‘Round Tuit’. It has the habit of stealing life.

Round Tuits are not our friend, yet we use them more often than we might think, often as ways of shelving hard decisions, ones that demand grit, and determination. They are then relegated to the bank of, things we’ll get around to, ONE DAY!

But those ‘round tuits’ are the very excuses that show up later as forms of self-sabotage. And we hate ourselves for it.

I’ve reached the conclusion that the ‘back burner’ must be the most cramped space on earth!

It’s a dark out-of-sight, out-of-mind dumping ground that many of us try to ignore, but then one day we are faced with the daunting, in-your-face reality of how things really are, and we know that our procrastination is getting in the way of productivity.

The Solution? Change your practice!

Wave goodbye to the old you, and charge your energy into building a new you that you can be proud of.

It can be done.

Procrastination is a heavy load to carry, you know, porting the weight of what you should have finished yesterday, into the tomorrows of your life.
