procrastinate less

making some headway with not doing worthless web surfing. cleaned up my mail properly again. having a hard time to clean my bed room and do a weekly review though

i try to just say no when there isn’t any particular reason for surfing. getting better at it.

zero angst and free time to just flop on the street and watch people pass by. it is about health and the healing that brings good health.

social procrastination is todays subject. i put off chatting this old friend up so long that i felt silly having stood next to him for 30 minutes. so i went away with the intention to come right back but then he was gone.

i need to bounce into people and i need to ask if i can join people. too often i just slip away at an opportune time.

yesterday when waiting for the meeting i wrote one and a half report. after getting back to pride i sketched the seminar i was to hold later that day. then during the panel discussion, i sketched it again, twice, to make it better. then just before, when i felt really nervous, i sketched it again.

and it went brilliantly. preparation is the mother of god! :)

yesterday i put off doing the preparation for the workshop until i couldn’t squeeze it in before going off on the train. but on the train i decided i would damn well do it and be focused about it and i did and it went exceedingly well. at least i know i have it in me.

now lets make a habit out of it.

well, i’ve certainly gotten a lot done today. and i hope to get more done in the future. the gtd system i’ve worked out today seems a lot more robust than my previous attempts. the last few months i’ve been mostly just had everything in my mind again.

maybe three years ago i had my discipline sharpened real good. i had made myself aware of how i reasoned myself out of doing things. instead of allowing myself to do that i went out and did it. thats how i lost 3 kilos, started running and became more social.

a friend used to live my the notion of just do it. i’m going to follow his lead. whenever i start to reason myself out of something – i’ll say just do it. i’ll train myself to connect the procrastination with the idea of just doing it. immediately.
