Dear Procrastination…it’s over

Dear Procrastination,

I’m going to keep this short as I don’t really want to argue with you (I know that is one of your diversionary tactics) I just want to let you know that you and I can no longer paint the town red, it’s time for us to part ways. I’ve watched you consume my friends as well as myself and quite frankly, you are no longer welcome here.

Don’t get me wrong I have been grateful at times for your intervention, there’s nothing like a tight deadline to keep you focused, but I’m not really sure if you are trying to be my best friend or my worst enemy.

There are things that I have needed to accomplish but you have managed to seduce me and take my attention in a completely different direction resulting in me not getting things done. You have managed to fill my time with useless nonsense. I can’t begin to account for the time wasted watching endless hours of TV or similar activities on the premise that there is always a tomorrow.

But the truth is TOMORROW. Nothing gets done.

Your attempt to sabotage my self-esteem was cute. Your personal comparison to people pursuing their passion was conniving, but I’m writing this letter to you today to let you know that I see you and it’s time to stop.

My dreams are officially released, goals and vision will flow as fluently as the words on this page.

I know you will always tempt me with a mundane task, an episode or two, a glance at my phone etc. etc. but I am putting you on notice that I am ready to resist you.

Goodbye Procrastination
