How ironic that procrastination has the same number of syllables – five – as anticipation (check the previous post).<\/p>\n
In attempt to light the fire under my ass (and get my fingers to typing and transcribing!), I’ve changed locations and am out by the pool, but still…nothing<\/span>.<\/p>\n When I was just a youth, I remember thumbing through my mother’s college textbooks and accompanying her to registration. In fact, I recall finding a penny, on heads<\/span>, on one particular registration day and as a result, she was at the top of the list to pick her classes. Yes, yes I believe in the power of the penny! I also remember the day she explained to my six-year-old self the definition of this word called “procrastination.” That was the beginning of my end. I’ve been a procrastinator since that day, or maybe I just had a name for what would become my future drug of choice. Thanks, Val!<\/p>\n All that to say is that my procrastination issues could fill a 2-part segment on Oprah…like, seriously<\/span>. I can almost hear Lady O asking me, “So, Regina, tell me again why you’re so lazy?” When I’m on my game, watch your back. But when I fall off, it’s a very bad situation. Remember when Bill Bixby (a\/k\/a Dr. David Banner a\/k\/a The Incredible Hulk<\/a>) used to say, “Don’t make me angry. You wouldn’t like me when I’m angry?” Well, that pretty much sums up how I am when I’m in my procrastination zone.<\/p>\n I wish there was a pill I could take, a tonic I could swig or maybe even a genie I could rub a few times that would give me that extra push. Can anybody hear me? Does anybody feel my pain?<\/p>\n OK, I’ve spoken my peace. Let me stop procrastinating!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" How ironic that procrastination has the same number of syllables – five – as anticipation (check the previous post).
