... to overcome her propensity for procrastination.
Yes, I know. To anyone who actually knows me, that statement will sound more like a joke. I can almost hear the barely restrained snorts of laughter now...
But, I'm serious. I need to whip myself into shape and try to beat my lazy streak. Albeit, I'm going to try in little bits at a time, establish little habits that will lead up to establishing a greater habit of industry and basically dying to myself. Honestly, that's what beating procrastination is all about-- Making yourself do something that you don't really feel like doing right at that moment.
However, let me divulge my plan before I wax philosophical on my poor audience.
So, the first step in my plan to overcome laziness is to do what I'm calling "AugBlogMo," which stands for August Blogging Month. It's my own invention, and basically I'm borrowing the basic concept from the good people over at http://www.nanowrimo.org, except that I'm not novelling in a month. My goal, which may be pretty obvious by now, is to blog everyday during the month of August.
I'm not going to have topics planned out, so it'll be pretty random I'm sure, and it may possibly even get boring in places, but this will help me on multiple levels. It'll (hopefully) get me into a steady routine of writing everyday, clearing my head of a bunch of thoughts, and get the ball rolling on stopping my tendencies towards procrastination.
I know it's a very small start, and Husband even rolled his eyes a bit when I told him about it, but I'm also supplementing by doing other, small, personal things on a daily basis as well. And if I'm open to grace and am willing to work with it, I have no doubts that the results will be good ones.
So, stay tuned! I have a feeling August may be a very interesting month!
