Procrastination

Right now I am suppose to be either:

  • working on my niche product sales site
  • writing a couple of ads for a new JV site
  • working in the backyard
  • painting my front porch
  • or one of a million other things on my to do list.

So what am I doing? I am performing some
"structured procrastination."

In case you're not familiar with that term, I'll explain.

Structured procrastination is when you do something
you've been meaning to do but never found the time
until you had other things that needed to be done
first. It usually happens when the thing you've been
putting off is more appealing that the things you've
now got to do but want to put off.

So today, before I start one of the things I really should
be doing, I chose to write a blog article about procrastination.

I am sure you already know what procrastination is but did
you know there are a lot of quotes about it? Most of them
tell you about how it leads to failure and offer some type
of motivation to have you stop.

But......

I found these 3 that I liked because they were fun.

I think the last one is best don't you?

Guess I've procrastinated enough and get back to
work. I think I hear the back yard calling me.
