“Procrastination
is not the problem. It is the solution...” declared Ellen Degeneres
at her 2003 Her and Now show. Her point was not that
we should do nothing, but rather that we often are over-stressed,
over-worked, and under-enjoying life. Ultimately, I agree with her. I
find I often forget to stop and enjoy the moment.
This
may seem an odd way to start a blog post about my month-long,
no-procrastination experiment, but let me back up a little bit and
explain. When I say a month of no procrastination, I do not mean my
month- long slog to fill every waking moment with things to do. That
would end with me as a puddle on my bedroom floor, frazzled into
uselessness because I was so overwhelmed. There are always things
that one could be doing. Instead, I mean to pursue each of my life
goals without excuse or hesitation.
I
want to know if I can have it all: good health and weight loss, an
active social life, a strong marriage, a budding writing career, a
great job in social work, and a clean house, to boot.
Can
we have it all, or does something have to give?
I'll
keep you updated.
