Do something for at least 7 days and it becomes habit. This is what I remember being told in one of the many motivational classes I attended several years ago. I am pretty sure that comment was referring to positive action being repeated for 7 days. However, I have subconciously applied that statement to negative habits. I will spare you all the bad habits I have managed to adopt, but I will confess the biggest one.
Procrastination. It has become a member of my family. It wakes up with me in the morning, stays with me throughout my day, and rides home with me from work. It has taken over my entire being and I am fed up with it. I carry with me worry and dread over things that have no significant meaning.
Procrastination is nothing but fear, and I am tired of being afraid of fear! So, this morning as I woke up late, pissed off and dreading the day before me, I realized that I hate the person I have become on the inside and I am the only one that can change it. I am ready to make that change. I am ready and I want to share my journey through change with you. Maybe there are others who are like me and cannot make the change without someone to help them along. I would love to have the company and the more the merrier!
Procrastination only delays our true destination. If we keep putting it off we will never get there. This journey is not about marking off the trivial tasks on our to do list. It is about truly living and sharing it with others.





Good luck, hawkeye! I have the same problem with procrastination, and I too am sick and tired of it. I have told myself it’s time to own up and take responsibility for changing my ways … but how?
I found a promising article in Scientific American about procrastination:

But I’m ashamed to admit this: I haven’t read it yet!
Thank you for your comment. I refuse to put off living any longer. Do you know how many articles and books I have that are still sitting in my library? Keep checking back as I share my story. Have a wonderful New Year !!
