Little by little, I'm getting over my tendency to procrastinate. I always used to put things off until tomorrow, and, of course, they never got done. Instead of "Do it now," my motto was "Tomorrow's another day." I've learned in the Program that it's far better to make a mistake once in a while than to never do anything at all. Am I learning to do it now?
Today I Pray
May God help me cure my habitual tardiness and "get me to the church on time." May I free myself of the self- imposed chaos of life-long procrastination: library books overdue, appointments missed, assignments turned in late, schedules unmet, meals half-cooked. May God give me the serenity I need to restore order and organization to my daily living.
Well, of all the things I have NOT yet learned, procrastination is something I can say I have worked hard at, and have seen some success with in my life. I am trying really hard to avoid that "trapped and sinking" feeling of being overwhelmed, and keeping ahead of the game with school, meetings and personal responsibilities is taking a huge load of baggage off my shoulders, and I rather like living this way.
The only problem this poses, is that I get VERY impatient with those around me who ARE procrastinating now!! Gosh darnit, if I am getting better in an area of life, everyone else should recognize this and follow suit, right!!!????? (wrong.... lol)
and as usual, when one area of my life gets "under control", then 5 other areas surface which are totally dysfunctional.... such is life for this alkie ;/
