I just love the creativity and imagination you put into your posts. I’m a great procrastinator. I have no problem sitting in front of my computer to watch the newest episodes of General Hospital, reruns of Bones, reading blogs, Facebooking and Twittering. In fact, I wouldn’t mind if I could do all those things every single day of the week and say I’m being productive. However, there are so many other things I would like to accomplish.

My biggest reason for procrastination is lack of direction. I’ve yet determined where I want to be and what direction I want to take. This leads me to my biggest procrastination pixie….”researching” on the internet. If I read everything there is to read, then maybe, just maybe, I will figure it out. Most likely, I’m dragging my feet on determining my direction because I’m afraid I will choose the wrong direction. If I never choose, it can’t be wrong, right?

This year, I’m actually taking steps to go in a direction, well many directions, but at least I’m moving somewhere. I’ve made a whole list of things I want to do this year, ways of living my life, and things to accomplish. Since the new year, I’ve been being proactive, I have a day planner, and taking steps to do just this. Your blog inspires me.

Half-way through your article, I halted in my tracks. I NEEDED that book by Brian – so, off to order it I go. 🙂

As for time management, I am actually a bit “too good” at my to-do-list, since I tend to neglect relationships in the process. Striving for balance is key.
