Procrastination Nation

Is it just me or is the time change kicking anyone else's ass? I simply cannot get going in the morning. I'm up. I've been up since 5:15am. I just can't seem To. Get. Going. I watch TV, I dither around, I eat breakfast, I read email and on and on. Finally, it's 11am and I'm behind on all the stuff I should have gotten done in the morning. Have I meditated? No. Done laundry? No. Cleaned house, run errands, cleaned the fish tank? No, no and no. Pathetic. I'm considering starting to drink coffee again.

Same thing here. It's too early for a time change. I don't like getting up at 7 and it not being light out :(

DST is kicking my butt, too. I cannot sleep at night and then I drag all day. Last night was my first night of halfway decent sleep since Saturday. D is miserable, too.

Its one week later and DST is still causing a ruckus.

not that the spinning habit helps any.

It isn't even the time change so much as the crazy weather -- I've been exhausted lately.

The word procrastination has a long history bet basketball much of which has not been written. The earliest reference that we could find regarding procrastination is depicted here. This 17th Century sermon copied from the microfilms held at the University of Ottawa in Ottawa, sportsbook Ontario (Canada) reflects the connection of task avoidance or delay, volition or will, and sin. To procrastinate is to sin.
It is interesting to note how Reverend Walker prefaced his sermon. He wrote, I enquired of the most Learned, Grave, march madness Conscientious and Experienced Ministers for direction; and one query I propounded was, what subjects, or what texts they had found most useful and most successful to awaken, convince and convert their hearers. To which a very holy, learned, aged and experienced minister replyed by naming a text against procrastination; adding he never found his ministry so successful upon any, as upon that subject, upon which very text I have preached many sermons since.
