Mood: Feeling Inspired! Do you procrastinate? Put things off, again and again? You know you need to get to them – and soon. Yet you just can’t seem to find the time. Believe me, it’s not difficult to find reasons or excuses. There are plenty. I’m not a procrastinator. Sometimes I do procrastinate, though, especially about things that I don’t enjoy doing (preparing for my tax return, for example) or goals that are too big or too challenging for me at the moment. I don’t know about you but, for me, procrastination creates mental frog and stress. After a while, the things I put off become mental clutter, which inhibits me from thinking clearly and acting efficiently. So today I decided to clear away some of the things I’d put off for a while. And when it was all cleared the way, I found a surge of inspiration and creativity gush forth. It was amazing! What I discovered is this: procrastination stagnates, and inspiration moves.
