Are You Procrastinating ?
How many times have you said to youreslf today is the day I will get that blog post up only to find that another day, another week, another month and another year has gone by and your still sitting there procrastinating.
Up until now procrastinating as always been one of my biggest obstacles and as a newbie to the bloggersphere I found I was looking for all kinds of excuses to why I could not put up a post. I was basicley sitting were I am just watching the post’s of others go up other than mine.
Surfing the bloggersphire
I was on a quest to finding the anwser to my procrastinating. I felt like the Indiana Jones of the bloggersphere. In my quest I came across names such as chrisbrogan, copyblogger and many more. The tips I picked up from these guy’s were like little golden nuggets.
The Winne the Pooh Guide to Blogging
My break thru came when I read The Winne the Pooh Guide to Blogging by James Chartrand. I so, so related to lesson 1: “You can’t stay in your corner of the Forest waiting for others to come to you. You have to go to them somtimes.”
How many times have you sat in the corner of your forest waiting for others to come?
Lesson 1 is a lesson we can all learn from and my lesson begins today with me getting out of the corner of my forest and tugging on your sleeve.

Yes I have done that many at time Dave, sat in the forest waiting, and procrastination seems to be my middle name at the moment. I agree as of today I will exit my corner of the forest and start chopping down some branches for a clear path.
Great post Dave, thanks for the nudge

Well, I think you may have seen me in the other corner of the forest watching the wind blow. It’s amazing the many resources and tools available when we shake off the inertia of procrastination. This is definitely a wake up call, thanks for keeping it real.
Abundant friendship

Some people believe they are always procrastinating from something. Guilty feelings draw one’s attention to what one is not doing. As you evolve to accept where you are, you leanr to accept what you are doing in the moment and learn to dissolve feelings of restlessness.
