Procrastination, My Kryptonite
Blue SkyAll of my deep fears
The monsters in my closet
Stem from this small thingProcrastination
I say I’ll do this later
But the time is nowI don’t want to yet
This is all so very hard
To take in right nowI’d really rather
Scroll on social media
Than deal with thisPesky task at hand
Veritable kryptonite
Anything but thisI’ll do this later
Let me crawl into a hole
And never come outThen I tried this app
To beat procrastination
I was skepticalTen minutes a day
That I will try out this app
For my life to changeI figured, why not?
Only a small chunk of time
That’s all it would takeSo I used the app
It seemed insignificant
Just a few modulesImmediately
It was life changing for me
I started on tasksNot putting them off
I actually finished them
I felt accomplishedOvercoming fears
I did not know I harbored
Now I’m the victorInstead of victim
I could actually do things
I felt empoweredNo longer I’d wait
The absolute last minute
To get all things done
“Now I’m the victor instead of victim” is such an empowering statement. Procrastination is my best friend but can also be a huge enemy of mine. I’ll say the same thing “oh I’ll do it tomorrow” and then that task ends up not being done until 2 weeks later. I’ll beat myself up for down the road and complete the task in frustration but once it is done it feels amazing. It is so easy to just put things aside to do for later but I am experiencing that it just creates more unnecessary stress and chaos. Thank you for sharing your peace on this topic and I am so glad that you are taking time to overcome this fear!
