Expert Advice: Practice
I’m an expert. Expert procrastinator, that is. I hold an accounting degree, but I procrastinated taking that last class that would have given me my Master of Accountancy. I didn’t want to take it, because it’s not my passion, so I’ve procrastinated until it doesn’t matter. The time limit is up and now I don’t have to decide if it would have been worth the money and time invested to complete it.
I have untold amounts of practice procrastinating. In fact, I’m writing this post (which as been a draft for about a year) as I procrastinate on something else—a lot of something elses, to be frank.
It feels nice keeping my skills up-to-date.
Don’t you ever wonder that if you quit practicing your procrastination you might forget how to procrastinate?
That was a tongue twister, wasn’t it? Whew. I had trouble reading that back through…
This is where I get serious. Because the answer to that question is “yes.”
I’m not going to make this into a long article, so I’ll say only one more thing. Think about it. If you just start practicing not procrastinating one day, and practice a little every day, pretty soon, you won’t be procrastinating nearly as often.
So call it practice. I do. This was my daily practice to quit procrastinating. My next goal? Become a finisher.
Hey, you might could say I’ve been practicing that this morning too! I’ve finished this post.
