How to Procrastinate Like a Pro

I have accomplished many things in my life, despite what I think of myself. I am a former World Powerlifting Champion, Banker, Pawn Broker, Self-Published Children’s Writer, Loan Processor, and even more-believe it or not.

However, there are many dreams, goals, habits, left undone-sitting there on the shelf until you know — tomorrow??? So being tired of unfinished tasks, dreams, and goals, I started reading a book called Unfuck Yourself by Gary John Bishop. I especially appreciated the bold statement he makes saying I’m winning.

He asks you to look at yourself, and whether it’s a good or bad habit, he says you’re winning at it. For example, maybe you have dieted on and off your whole life-you are winning at yo-yo dieting. Perhaps your relationships are confrontational-despite why you are winning at arguing. See where I am going with this? Now, if you want to change it, then proceed to x y z. (I’m still reading the book…)

So, it dawned on me that I am really winning at procrastinating, …like hardcore winning! I’ve wanted to be a writer since I was 20, and I’m 35 and trust me, I’m not making hella much at all. I’ve wanted to compete in a Figure Competition, and I’ve been a size 2–18 and back down to a 14. I am winning as being a yo-yo dieter. I want to become tidy and organized, and my house looks like I just dropped onto OZ.
