Procrastination

Today is submission day, because I have the day off from my job and had this all planned. Actually, it was planned for Monday – but today I will be serious. I even opened all the right folders. But first I unload the dish washer. Then the cat litter box requires attention, and the sink needs scrubbing. Facebook is not a waste of time if I just share what awesome work my friends do, right? That counts as productive. I make myself some tea. Hydration is important. And I haven’t had breakfast. An avocado sounds good. I discovered that writing amazon reviews is fun. It’s a skill I need to work on. Practice will be very useful. There are all these books. Books I bought, books from the library. We all know reading makes you a better writer. And I’ll write more morning pages. That’s so satisfying, the feeling of the pen gliding on ink. And it kind of counts as writing. And now I am writing a poem about procrastinating. To put off the inevitable decision making, second guessing, overthinking. But once this is done, I will start. Seriously.
