What have you been putting off doing? Why?
I am a procrastinator at heart. Why trouble myself now with something I can do later? Although, thinking about it now, I can’t think of anything that I have really put off doing. At least that I’ve put off intentionally.
I have things that I want to do and just haven’t made them a priority. I much prefer doing something simpler, such as relaxing on the couch and reading or knitting. In all honesty though, the thing I want to do can be done on the couch. And that is writing my book. I have a nice little desk set up in our back bedroom/office that is specifically for writing, but I also have a lap desk that I can put my computer on for writing.
There’s no particular reason I’ve not made my book a priority. I think about it in short bursts. Sometimes I get highly motivated to devote my full attention to it. Then that motivation wanes and I don’t do anything with it for a while. But lately, I think the desire to have it finished is outweighing any of my procrastination tendencies. There’s a lot to do with what I have in mind for it, but I think getting through the first stage by the end of the year will really help me feel like I’ve made progress on it. With today being a windy, rainy, chilly kind of day, I think I’ll take advantage of the weather and hunker down inside and write. No sense in being troubled later by something I can do now, right?
