P is for procrastination--which is why this post is late.
During my last round of catch-up writing. I had plenty of time to prepare an advance post or two. I even had a couple ideas. I knew I should write them up because this year I'm writing more late posts than ever, due to working 3-4 hours overtime daily.
Wah, wah, wah. Everyone has obstacles to overcome. So enough with the excuses.
Truth be told, I'm a procrastinator. Plain and simple. I make professional, work-related, and legal deadlines. But personal deadlines? Maybe. Maybe not.
Some of it is tied to perfectionism. Some is lack of motivation. Some is laziness. And from time to time there might even be a touch of melancholy.
I think Oscar Wilde may have penned the Procrastinaors Credo when he said, "Why do today, what you can put off until tomorrow?"
I'm not quite that blatant. I usually have a reason to wait. Usually.
But sometimes the reason is pretty flimsy.
Did you know there is a "National" Procrastination Week? It's celebrated sometime during the first two weeks of March. Of course, late celebrations are honored--and maybe even encouraged.
Not to be outdone by procrastinators, there is also a Fight Procrastination Day. It's September 6th. It's supporters urge Procrastinators to claim and fight their procrastination problem.
I saved that article.
I'll read it later.
