My Nemesis: Procrastination

Procrastination has been my nemesis for many years. We’ve had our battles. Eventually, I ended up winning the war. At first, it attacks me hard and I’m unable to fight it. I’m too weak. It tempts me with dancing Oreo’s on my head. So instead of me reaching for a pen, I reach for a cookie instead. Then comes that moment when I realize its hold on me. I fight and bite my way out of it. I try to find a friend in motivation and spirituality. That usually gives me the strength that I need to fight back. I also look at my kids. I can’t let them see procrastination beat me. We both put on our boxing gloves and then duke it out. I gain enough strength to deliver the ultimate blow and I defeat my nemesis for that day.

There is always a "to be continued" because procrastination always tries to bring its chaotic ways back to my life.
I try my best to prepare myself for the next time I get an unexpected visit from my nemesis. I sometimes write even if I'm not in the mood to keep procrastination away. I find myself being motivated again as I write. I key is to, I guess if I'm quoting Nike, "Just Do It".

How do you handle procrastination?
