Do you ever procrastinate when you have a task to do that you find unpleasant? Maybe it is the dishes, or taking out the trash, or finishing a paper, or filing you taxes, or any number of other things. Do you find that after putting things off you still have to do it? That unpleasant task waits to be completed. Procrastination is such an easy habit to fall into. It is a dangerous one, too. Procrastination allows us to waste our precious time.
There is an old philosophy that says do the hard stuff first. Get the things you find to be unpleasant done quickly and you will find yourself with more time. I am trying to overcome procrastination myself. It isn't an easy thing to do, but with the Lord's help I am confident he will enable me to overcome.
Another old saying states, "Never put off until tomorrow, what you can do today." Again there is wisdom in these words. We should be quick to do things that need to be done, in order to make the most of our time. It also leaves us time to do the things we want to do. In the end, it leaves freer to accomplish more.
