Ever procrastinate? Yeah, me too.
There is an absurdity in some procrastination in that I, and maybe you, actually enjoy the activity once it is started. But getting started is a bitch.
Try this sometime: promise to quit doing whatever quickly. Just ride the bike to the corner and back. Just write the first sentence, not the entire letter. Just get the lawnmower out and trim the median strip.
It’s OK to break these promises and keep riding the bike all morning, complete a long letter to mom, and mow the entire yard. It’s OK to keep these promises. Usually you won’t, because the hardest part is starting.
