Procrastination

The word procrastination has crept upon me this evening and of a few evening of late. I have spent hours playing a mindless game that has taken my time away from being productive in other areas. I must manage my goals and move accordingly and schedule this leisure time of "game" playing to find a connection to my overall well-being.

In order to remove an area of procrastination from my life I cut out the television in most instances except to enjoy an episode of The Game on the CW every Friday night. I occasionally peak at the Lakers to check on a few players and their success. With great success I have shifted my activities to spending more time with my daughter, reading books, writing books, and a host of other things I enjoy.

As a way of finding procrastination more productive in my life I began to notice the thoughts that run through my head. Mostly chatter from conversations throughout the day develop in my mind. The conversations that lack inspiration I am able to change the chattering noise in my mind to a positive affirmation so that I don't linger in that moment of wonder and why? This act alone changes my focus to a happier place as I am beginning to take great care for myself and embrace others for just who they are without mentally changing them into who I want them to become.

So is procrastination a benefit in some way? I will say yes, only because it reminds me that I need to get to it (hence the late hour for this post).
