Procrastinator's Unite

Isaiah 56:12 "And tomorrow will be like today, only more so."

This is the life verse of the procrastinator, who never enjoys the moment, the moment being a constant interruption. The procrastinator lives with the fantasy that he will do in the next hour what has not been done in previous weeks. Because of this mental deception, he is always too busy to take time out for the joys of life. Of course he would like to read a book, go to the movies, go for a run, play more with the kids, even go away for a few days, but! "There is too much to do"...that won't get done till the last possible moment...but the procrastinator, don't interrupt him, he has too much to do.

What is comical, is that the procrastinator does not actually get to the job until the last possible moments. The exhaustion at the end of the day does not come from overwork but from the frustration and self-loathing, believing that tomorrow will be different. A schedule is in mind. But let's not forget, "And tomorrow will be like today, only more so."

Is this you? It's me. Here are a couple of suggestions.
Stop fighting the fact that you procrastinate, admit it, own it, and embrace it. You can make it work for you! Admit that you won't do the job till the last minute...then, go ahead and enjoy the interruptions that come in the meantime without getting frustrated that you should be doing something else. Yesterday I spent great alone time with my children. I didn't think of one thing I "had" to do. I enjoyed the moment. It was a great day, and believe it or not, I didn't feel guilty. I felt great. It was great!
Secondly, take up the cross and deny the feeling of inferiority.
Third, lower your standard. Remember that most procrastinators are perfectionists by nature. Your 80% is like another's 110%.
Lastly, start enjoying life! You will never be a "disciplined" person as defined by the "disciplined". You are what God made you!
