THE FUSE

How many times have you heard yourself say, “I’ll do this later”? Or “I’ll do this tomorrow”? The statement itself is harmless and promising all at the same time. That’s what we call procrastination. It isn’t relaxation but rather the pushing off of the discomfort of a decision, a conversation, a task, or a call into the future and hoping that “later” or “tomorrow” will somehow come with greater focus, energy, motivation, or time. We all know how this really goes – tomorrow doesn't create anything different or more magical than the present moment. When tomorrow or later comes, you’re going to be just as tired and unmotivated to do it.
