1549 Are You a Procrastination Junkie?

Are you a procrastination junkie? One whose action is to
delay or postpone just because you have too much on your plate.
You are so busy that taking time to figure it out even gets in
the way. 


Now you might quickly respond, "NO WAY!!! I get things done when
they are needed."

"I don't let people down. I run through any and all messes to
accomplish the task at hand. Nothing holds me back. I'm not a
procrastination junkie!"


That's what I thought too.


But stick with me here as there's more. Let me ask you...


How busy are you?


Extremely busy. I'm lucky if I get a shower or even go to the
bathroom. I'm running from one thing to the next.


So how do you prioritize your day?


I don't know. I don't really think about it. I get done what
needs to be done or is due that day.


Is there any room for working on projects in the future, let's
say a week out or so?


I haven't really thought about it. I get done what my kids need
me to to do. I try and do the same for my husband and of course
my boss (even if it's me).


Do you get everything done always?


Well, if I'm being honest, probably not.


What doesn't get done?


Stuff that can wait another day. Stuff that....well....I don't
know.


You see, procrastination trims down the excess of our day. We
don't have to focus on ALL the stuff. WE just focus on putting
out all the fires. When that's done, we feel alive. We saved the
day. We become our own hero.


Some people would even comment, "Well, I didn't think you would
get it all done, but you did. I don't know how you did it. I wish
I could do all that you do. My life would be so much easier."


That strokes your ego....Yea, I did do it!


Procrastination is a way to organize your already stressful day.
"Procrastination is a form of stress relief." ~ Mel
Robbins

Whether it's right or wrong in the methodology doesn't matter.
But it's a way where you don't have to make room to organize your
day. You don't have to STRESS about it or anything.


It comes pre-sorted, predetermined. You don't waste your time
figuring out what really needs to be done. You just suit up, hold
your breath, and hope for the best.


If you think about it, it's a creative way to organize your day.
You are productive. So for a moment, you feel really good. You
accomplished something. You did it!


Some may look at you in awe. Others won't get it. But what
matters, you got it done!


However, what was left behind in the process? Who was forgotten?


What's important to realize is that God didn't create you to be a
first responder, a fireman in your own life.


When you're constantly putting out fires, you miss the little
details, because the flames are what had your attention.


Mistakes can be made along the way too. Our bodies weren't
designed to fight all the time.


Procrastination puts you in battle with your values and
priorities. You might be getting everything done by the due date
set by others (your spouse, your boss, your company, your
children), but this methodology of organization and productivity
buries what matters.


Procrastination buries you in the rubble!


You can't live out every day putting fires out.


Your mind needs time to rejuvenate itself, rid itself of the
excess demands.

Your body needs time to detox from a toxic world.

Your spirit needs restoration, or the weariness will
overwhelm you.



The battle may appear successful, but the residual effects are
greater for the one fighting all the time.


Failed relationships.

Dreams crushed.

Hope diminished.

Unhealthy lifestyle.



Exhaustion is the new normal.


Are you a procrastination junkie?


Believe it or not, most of us are. We don't realize it, because
we're too busy putting out the fires, saving the day because only
we can.


My sweet friend, YOU were not created to be the savior of your
day. You were not created to put the world first and leave
yourself behind.


You were created on purpose for a purpose.


So how do you break this crazy organizational and productivity
methodology of procrastination?


Choose to impact based on your values!
The K.I.S.S. ~ Choose to IMPACT based on your
values!

I believe that when we procrastinate, we are superimposing the
values of others into your day. It's like they're the
ventriloquist and we are the puppet. And you wonder why you feel
less than, feeling like what you want doesn't matter.


It's because you have given permission, to those you think you
are serving and loving, to walk all over you with THEIR goals and
THEIR values.
Determine your values. What do you value in
life? What matters to you? Text IMPACTVALUES to 44222 and you can
receive the download to work through. Set boundaries that
compliment your values. Know this might change in
different seasons of your life. So you might need to revisit this
often. Formulate NO responses that support your
values. It's not your job to carry their guilt when you
tell them NO. It's your job to protect and keep YOUR values alive.
You matter! This is your life! Schedule your week and days
to impact based on your values. If you are constantly
putting out all the fires, you won't be able to live your dreams
with your values. You'll be living everyone else's. And at times,
it will seem easier, because you don't have to think. There's less
stress. You already have too much to do. But then what happens is
you are letting down the ones you love the most.

Choose to impact the world you touch with the values you desire.
You are not the savior of the world. You don't need to have all
the answers.
Your worth is not wrapped up in living out everyone
else's values! ~ Kristianne Wargo

Yes, you can do your part. But that doesn't mean you're the first
responder ALWAYS.


How would you feel if what you accomplished in your day had value
to you personally?


You would feel less exhausted and more engaged.

You would appreciate the little things instead of only
getting through the big things.

You would understand how serving your values matters and
would see the ripple effect of your efforts more.



Procrastination is not a productivity and organization tool. It's
a way to strip you of your values; letting others decide what
matters.


Be present. Be incredible. Be YOU!!!
