Yesterday, I completed the read-through of my newly published book, HANDBOOK for a NEW CONSCIOUSNESS, went online, made the changes, cleaned up the typos, checked the updated version, hit the ‘approve’ button, and just like that, in one morning, what I’d worried about having to do was done. The updated version is now out there ready to go. How cool is that!

I used to be a procrastinator. I’d need to do something, like clean up the kitchen after a party, or call what’s his name about such and such, or sit down and write my blog, and I’d think, “Eh, not now. Later, before I go to bed.” And then I’d be getting ready for bed and I’d think, “Yawn, there’s no way I’m going to do it now.” And so I wouldn’t.

Next morning, even though I knew I still had to clean the kitchen, or call you know who, or write the blog, something would come up and get in the way and next thing you know I’m yawning again. And, believe it or not, this could go on for days. I can’t tell you how many times things didn’t get done simply because I didn’t want to get up off my butt and do it.

And the amazing thing is that even after all that time, the things I needed to do way back then still needed to get done. I hadn’t saved myself any work at all by not doing them earlier. Duh!

I don’t remember when it was that I changed, but I have. My sister was the impetus. She has this saying, “If you’re going to do it tomorrow, do it today. And if you’re going to do it today, do it now.” For some reason I took her advice and, you know, it hasn’t hurt me at all. I’m not doing any more stuff than I would have done anyway, plus the kitchen is cleaner, what’s his face has the ball in his court, and the blog is up to date. At least it will be when I hit ‘Publish’.

Even more important, I seem to be less anxious because I have less to do. It’s behind me. Done. I can move on to something else. Something I might not have had time to do if I still had to do the other stuff. It’s really fascinating. More is actually getting done even though it feels like I have less to do. Why did it take me so long to make this change? Probably, because I was a procrastinator.
