Queen of Procrastination

 So I may be a bit of a procrastinator. A bit?! Girl please, you rule the place! You again? Seriously? Ya and you better get used to it because I’m sticking with you forever. Ugh fine. Yes, I am the Queen of Procrastination. It’s not like I want to be that way, but I have kind of adopted it as…...oooooo Lilly Singh posted a YouTube video!! I should watch it!! Five Hours Later. It’s about time you showed up. You didn’t even get to the point yet and you run off. See what I mean. I’m like a dog when it sees a squirrel. It’s usually a five step process.
1. Avoid It Like The Plague  
  
 I know I have work to complete, but honestly I don’t want to waste this beautiful day on that, so I’m going to watch Netflix and look through my social media for an indefinite amount of time. Shouldn’t you start work?! Why would I do that? Well you might get stressed if you do it last minute. Oh please, that won’t happen.


2. Sit In Front of Work… Looking at Phone
 I guess I should start work, so I’ll sit down and start work after I send a text to my friend telling them I’ll talk to her later. It’s been an hour. She was in a crisis. Choosing which outfit she should wear to an event next month is a crisis? Yes, what do you think it is? A matter for next month. Whatever.
3. Actually Start
  Alright I’m starting. Finally!!
4. Squirrel!
 Oh look at that interesting show my sister is watching on TV! I should watch it too. Don’t you dare!! Too late. I’m hooked.


5. Last Minute Freak Out
  That series was so good….oh crap my assignment is due tomorrow!!! I told you so. Not helping.

 Even though I still finish the work on time, it is not a smooth process. Do I remember and correct that course though. No, I never do that. That’s not healthy. I don’t….. Wait, what did he say?! Tell me everything. Sorry guys, talking to a friend. I’ll be right back. She’s not coming back is she? Madeline!!!

Coming Up With Ideas

 I had a hard time coming up with this weeks topic. I just wasn’t coming up with any ideas. And then this morning I realized I had in fact already found a topic without knowing it. It can be a challenge at times to come up with new ideas for whatever you are working on. There are, however, some pointers you can use to help. 1) Don’t Force It  Sometimes our brain just needs a break. No matter what you do, when your brain is fried you are not going to be able to think of anything. So instead of forcing it into overdrive, walk away for a bit. Sometimes the best thing to restart your creativity is to revisit it later. 2) Take Time By Yourself  Don’t get me wrong, talking with others can help too, but sometimes being around other people and sounds are too distracting. Sitting out on the porch with some coffee or tea, doing some yoga, or even having a night of self-care alone, will not only be relaxing but can help get the thinking process going. 3) Keep A Notebo...

God's Work

 Last night I was thinking about the past year, and how God has presented himself in my life. I can so clearly pinpoint moments where I knew God was there with me. Now I never had one of those huge, over the top awe-inspiring moments, that some people talk about. I’m not saying those moments haven’t happened for some people, and it’s good that they have had them. However, my realization moments have been small, but just as meaningful.  I remember once I was out shopping with one of my friends, and my phone started going ballistic. I started freaking out because I was supposed to text my dad our location after he got done grocery shopping at the store across the highway, but my phone was not working and my friend did not have hers. My friend told me to relax and it would be fine, after all, he was only just across the street. I couldn’t relax though, in fact, I got even more worried. My friend went into the dressing room and I was waiting outside, desperately trying to ge...
