procrastination

There will always be reasons and excuses to put off doing what one feels the need, or want, to do. There is usually something we can find to deem more pressing and urgent to do than those wanted or unwanted obligations with which we feel burdened. Sometimes just sitting and watching tv feels more necessary in that particular hour of the day.

Why do today what you can put off until tomorrow?


When facing the end of a lifetime, the procrastination approach to living reveals itself as a massive time waster, and death becomes the immediate cure for procrastination and the ultimate lesson in purposeful living.

If this was your last day, what would you do?

This is not to say that every moment of every day requires task oriented achievements. Some moments truly deserve the sanctity of a comforting cup of tea and a good read.
