Procrastinate to Master Your Goals Today (or Tomorrow)

Weeks turned into months, and weeds turned into plants. Somehow I just love how that sounds. Weeks turned into months, and weeds turned into plants.

Yes, that’s how long it took for me to finally get up and do something about the overgrown jungle that used to be my garden. You see, procrastination doesn’t discriminate; it applies to all aspects of life, including taming the wilderness that sprouted in my backyard.

I told myself I’d deal with it tomorrow, then the day after tomorrow, and, well, you get the idea. Before I knew it, I was the proud owner of a wildlife sanctuary in my backyard.

But that’s okay. The garden serves its purpose.

Red-haried woman with long hair bends down to gather a bunch of long blooming grass on a very sunny day. She is dressed in an airy white dress. You can see down her blouse a bit, but the picture is unprovocative. You see long grass all around here.
I actually took a photo in May 2021 to accompany this story. But who wants to watch unmown grown grass? The unkempt state of the grass here effectively reflects the sorry state of my garden. Image by Freepik

Watching the grass grow, I sat down to write something about my procrastination habits again. I would link to my other stories about it, but they’re still in draft.

I’ll finish those tomorrow.

I get things done

I get things done. There was the time I set out to clean out my attic. It led to great results. Not necessarily having to do with a tidy attic, of course.
