Even writing this post I feel like procrastinating. It has taken me a solid 20 minutes to write the past three sentences. Maybe I'm experiencing my first run in with blogger block. It's like writers block, but different in the sense that it s a blog. (Not that y'all couldn't have figured that out yourself)
I think the best way to combat procrastination is by not giving in. That is key, but it is so, so hard.
**************************************************
Well the truth is I totally gave in to my procrastination... Like for about five hours. However, I did do a few productive things! I read a book, took a shower, and ate cake with my BFF Kenzie. I would argue this time was well spent.
Every now and again I think it is perfectly OK to take some time for yourself. If you don't you will drive yourself crazy! I speak from personal experience. While I was on my mission I basically worked myself to death. I know that it is expected of missionaries to work themselves to the bone. However, it is not expected that they kill themselves. There was time that I had a fever of 104 and I still went out and worked. Those days are a complete blur. If I could do it over again I would have stayed home and taken a nap. I believe that God understands we all need a little break now and again.
Procrastination only becomes an issue when it takes over your life. I know there are days that I would love to just stay in bed and watch The Office. But I won't let myself do it because I know I would hate myself after doing so.
I really don't have anything else to say right now.

P.S. Speaking of The Office....
