Pandemic Potluck

Procrastinating? Project Tackling?Pleasure-Seeking?

Procrastinating? Everyone does it at one time or another. And we berate ourselves for being lazy or unproductive, lamenting our lack of focus & stick-to-itiveness.

I finally decided it wasn’t fair or constructive to keep looking at procrastination as the enemy, & decided to reframe how I think about it, & ways to use it to my advantage. I’ve found that puttering gives legitimacy to my procrastination, & even improves my surroundings-which in these times, can only help. The trick is to realize you’re procrastinating & why. That way, you can keep the “other” task on a back burner, but allow yourself a bit of respite.

Go ahead & indulge yourself while house-bound. I think you’ll find you can get a handle on procrastination that you’ll be able to use in helpful ways. Trust yourself. Be honest. Find the pattern & timeline that will work for you. Procrastination is personal. It manifests differently in people, so you’ll have to find your triggers & work from there.

Here’s an article I published on Medium.com about the perks of puttering I discovered once I allowed myself the luxury of getting into my procrastination more mindfully: https://medium.com/@ConciergeJoAnna/the-perks-of-puttering-around-a8e49e6e4c73
