Plans and Procrastination

I will admit it. I am a procrastinator. I know it is best to just do it and get it done but where's the fun in that? This month has been rather challenging to my writing and creativity corner. I have plans from here til July. When combining two busy individuals' calendars it's amazing how difficult it is to find a moment to breathe and just do what you normally do. I did have windows of opportunity but somehow other events seemed more user friendly to me. I even planned time on different days to catch up with my regular work but as we all know "the best laid plans..."

Many people feel guilty about the time wasted not working on their creative endeavors or business prospects. Many feel that without the nose constantly to the grindstone the work that needs to be done will not be accomplished. Many feel that taking a break is slacking off. Luckily for me I am not a part of the many.

I figure we actually need this procrastination tool as a jump start for reality. Eventually you burn out on those long term plans and need a reason to begin again. Starting fresh after a brief break seems to truly stimulate the creative juices. The month of April has been a bit of a loss with words for me but I have gained plenty and believe the words that waled away are ready to return to me with greater ease. Procrastination has worked it's magic and plans for the future have returned to their proper place. No more taking up space, it's time to get get back to the tasks at hand now that I've procrastinated myself into a better plan.
