There used to be a site here. I mean, things still look the same, but there’s something significant missing.

All the old posts are gone.

I changed hosts—not exactly true—I didn’t change hosts so much as I changed accounts under which I was hosting this account, and in the change-over I needed to restore my backup for this site’s database.

I procrastinated. In fact, I’m still procrastinating. I have the backup and I could restore it, if I wanted to. But… it’s work, and frankly I’m not sure it’s worth the effort. My old posts weren’t all that good anyway.

How many times can I tell the world that I’m about to start posting regularly before they start to think I’m just a big fat liar?

Procrastination is an insidious disease of the psyche. I will probably never overcome my procrastinating ways, but I’m tired of trying.

I’ve found a better way.

So—there’s no point in recovering a bunch of old posts telling people how I’m working to overcome procrastination or how they can overcome procrastination.

There’s no need. Here’s the secret. Seriously, listen up. This is the only way anyone can ever overcome procrastination.

Find your passion.

You heard me. Find your passion.

When we have a passion, we don’t procrastinate. When we’re passionate about something, it’s a struggle to keep from spending every moment, every day working at it. When we’re passionate, we’re driven.

Can you imagine procrastinating on something you’re driven to do? Asked another way, how many “driven” people procrastinate?

Wouldn’t you like to be driven by passion?

Wouldn’t you like to stop procrastinating?

I repeat, we must find our passion. It’s the best—the easiest—the only way to stop worrying about procrastination.

I will still procrastinate on the things that don’t matter, but now that I know what does matter, procrastination will never be a problem for me again.

What does all this mean for this site? It is Perpetual Procrastination after all. I think it’s time I let you in on a little secret—my passion. I love to write—it doesn’t much matter what the topic is, but writing is a passion for me. Same goes for website development. I love to create websites that make me happy. So, this site will follow me as I let my passion lead me to fulfill a long-held ambition.

Can I use my passion to overcome my perpetual procrastination?

Will I finally build this site into something that works—and not let procrastination stop me in my tracks? I’ve worked through hardship before, but once boredom sets in, procrastination has always followed.

Will I succeed? Will I fail?
