Procrastination Part 2: It *can* be a good thing!
I was delighted to read this post from Celine Roque at webworkerdaily.com. Just because I'm a procrastinator, doesn't mean I have a problem. Hurrah!
Apparently, when I procrastinate by working on something trivial instead, it means I'm anxious or overwhelmed about The Task I Should Do. Check.
When I procrastinate by working on the bigger projects when the smaller ones are due, I'm annoyed with the smaller task, or don’t see the point of it. Check.
If I opt for doing something recreational, apparently I need to take a break or am not in the mood to work yet. Hmmm... not sure about this one. 1/2 right because what if I never get in the mood?
Want to know what the cure is? Well, there's no magic pill but head over to webworkerdaily.com to find out. I'll be trying out her ideas... some I already do!

That was an interesting article - I actually commented there - but this is a cool blog so why not here too!
The one thing I teach those who tend to procrastinate is this...
When you look at the to-do list - make sure it is the ONE thing that you really do not want to do that you do first everyday. Once you eliminate that item from your list - the rest of the day is going to be great!
