I’ll Start Tomorrow . . .
How to reject procrastination and get started today
I write this article because, for three weeks, I put off doing one thing that was VERY simple. If I hadn’t done two very specific things to change my trajectory, I would still be putting it off.

I have been meaning to start a self-care ritual since October. I have a pretty awesome little experiment planned in order to write an article for Medium, but it requires me to run three miles per day, journal, and do the hardest thing in the world (for me) to do — meditate.
I KNOW that all of these things are good for me. I KNOW that this is a good idea for an article and that there is no down-side here. I also just plain didn’t start doing it for three weeks. At one point, I looked back and thought, where did the time go?
