This evening as I sit here preparing to fold my buckets of laundry I can’t help but think about how I haven’t written in a few weeks. And I should probably do that BEFORE I get started on this laundry. Also writing is far more fun than laundry folding. But it got me thinking about words and how they come to be. And furthermore whoever came up with this one, was procrastinating their lifestyle. I wonder what their life looked like. Were they always late, did they ever do anything or continuously put stuff off? In college I LOVED procrastinating, I mean what college kid didn’t? (Probably my brother and a select other few). I wonder which word came first priorities or procrastination. I don’t procrastinate when I want to go get ice cream (which I also did before writing this, but now it’s starting to melt-ish) I don’t procrastinate when I want to watch TV. I don’t procrastinate when I want to work out (thank goodness). Yet these are all of my procrastination tools.
Sadly I will choose these things over reading the bible first and foremost. Most likely because there is a lot of convicting stuff inside those pages and sometimes it’s hard to listen to, but that’s when we need it the most. But why face your inner battles when you can do light-hearted activities?
The same goes for housework, um no thank you bring on anything else.
Work- I don’t really procrastinate at that because I was raised to be on time and because they pay me.
You can’t really put off being a parent, so that doesn’t work.
Anyway, I could go on forever. I’m super curious about which word came first. Now that I’ve officially used the word procrastinate abundantly I should probably get back to my priority of laundry.
Procrastination is necessary for a human’s sanity but don’t let it run your life! Do the hard stuff you put off, it helps you to grow into the awesome people you are!
If you made it all the way to the end of this high five because I honestly don’t know if I made it full circle on my thought process on this one.
