Procrastination
, the thief.
To do list for the day:
Take the car in.
I procrastinate.
Put the bins out.
I procrastinate.
Book a doctor’s appointment for my annual check
up.
Tomorrow.
I’ll fill in my tax return.
Not due yet.
I need to apply for a job.
No point. After 30
rejections.
I promised to phone a friend.
Too tired right now.
I need to complete my writing assignment.
Later. ..........Ahhh ........... I know...
I’ll to log in to
Facebook and update my status.
Great idea.
See what all my friends are doing.
I’m desperate for a chocolate bar.
I need a cuppa.
...................
The thief made off long
ago,
Where on earth did he go?
He cannot be caught ,
Bags full of
Unfulfilled ambitions and unrealised dreams.
Last seen carrying
all my clocks and watches
Plenty of time on his hands !
.......................................
Readiness or
reluctance ?
Writing or resting?
Telephone or television?
‘A little sleep a
little slumber ,a little folding of the
hands to rest and poverty will come upon
you like a thief and scarcity like an armed man ...’. Proverbs 6:10,11
‘Redeeming the time, because the days are evil’.
Ephesians 5:16
.............................
just a minute .................... the kettle’s boiled.
Back later.
