SARK: "Permission to Procrastinate! Permission to explore".
Josie (my fiancée) mentioned to me yesterday that it was going to be difficult for me to be able to give myself permission to procrastinate because I do a 9 hour shift at work on Saturdays. This got me thinking - we cannot procrastinate around doing things that we have absolutely no choice about, that we cannot avoid - like going to work, so why does it feel okay to procrastinate life in general? Living isn't something we have a choice about doing either and certainly something we cannot avoid. I guess then, it becomes a question of priorities and I certainly wouldn't like to think I put working a mundane weekend job of higher importance than the other areas in my life that I procrastinate about...
"Step through the doorway of procrastination".
This week has highlighted a lot to me, in the ways in which I rely on and am cheated by my own procrastination. It has been a useful learning exercise and I hope now that I am well and truly on my way to being a "recovering procrastinator". However, this is not to say that I will never procrastinate again - I have my permission slip - but I will use it with a wise mind and a heightened awareness of my actions.
