The Troll of Procrastination

Procrastination is a troll who sits on your shoulder and whispers little reminders into your ear, disallowing any sense of enjoyment in whatever activity you are engaged. It slowly drags its claws across a chalkboard which it keeps on its person for this purpose alone. When you succumb to procrastination, you give up your chances at being fully cognitively present in any given activity–even one you love. It robs you of your ability to engage with the ones you love. Procrastination is a boiling saw blade, piercing the periphery of anything that brings one pleasure. Procrastination is a blinking, beeping satellite which orbits one’s head, in constant reminder of what has been left undone, but that which cannot be left so. It is one of my greatest enemies and I am going to do my best to eradicate the  troll from my life, but I know this troll is giant and not one easily defeated.

 

On guard!
