Procrastination –
Is it an issue with you?
I have mastered it!
I’ll get to it next.
That”s just what I tell myself.
But, when does next come?
I often delay
Doing what needs to be done –
With good excuses.
Is that familiar?
And I’m not the only one.
Bob knows that routine!
“Just put a towel out –
It will soak up the water.
I am going skiing.”
That’s two years ago.
A sump pump is what’s needed.
Will a snow fence work?
This is it last week –
After putting up snow fence –
Before last snow fall.
Please get me a towel
To soak up the melting snow
Before it warms up!
Procrastination
Lives in my part of the world
Inside – not just out!
No, not my office –
But it certainly could be.
Mine’s almost as bad!
Do you have places
That you are sure to avoid?
Rather do your blog?
You are not alone.
It’s an immortal problem.
Procrastination!!
The Bible addressed the issue:
“Be strong and courageous,
and do the work.
Do not be afraid
or discouraged,
for the Lord God…
is with you.”
1 Chronicles 28:20
Pray for God to help
You and me do what we must
That we’re avoiding.
Get it off your chest.
Step up – Act wholeheartedly –
Just tackle the mess!
I promise I will –
After finishing coffee.
Hah! Ignore the mess…
Thanks for visiting JanBeek today.
Now, go get busy!!
See ya tomorrow (God willing)
P.S. By the way, did you realize as you were reading this that every three line stanza is a kind of Haiku with a syllabic pattern of 5-7-5? If you didn’t that’s OK. It means I didn’t force it. That was fun!

I was going to read your bog and comment on it, but I’ll do it later. 😂😂🙄
😜✌🏽
Hilarious!!
We can all relate, huh?
Sure can relate. Procrastination is my weakness!
But just think of all the fun things we experience while we are procrastinating – doing what we enjoy while we avoid what we don’t! Here’s an example!! https://youtu.be/2AdcUbjPr2A
I’m having my coffee too right now. I’ll get to it… later…5 min…maybe this summer?!
Summer’s a good time to be outside. How about a drizzly day next fall??
Just a minute
Hah!!
Procrastination should be classed as one of the seven deadly sins! As you can tell, my procrastination is to go and exercise! Not my favorite thing to do. Great post!
Thanks! That’s one of my areas of procrastination, too!
