About Me

This blog is where you will watch my progress as I strive to meet my goals. I decided to write this instead of keeping a diary, as I think it is better to boldly state my intentions publicly, so that I can be held accountable! For more about me, see About Me link

Procrastination - The Thief of Time

Written by Tim on May 5th, 2009 | Filed under: Daily Posts

I have procrastinated my whole life.  ”There will always be time for that”, I would say to myself.  Relationships came and went, jobs came and went.  Even my most productive years, businesswise, soon collapsed into several years of procrastination and mismanagement, until the business’s ultimate demise, with my slothful hands at the wheel.  Too bad, that, I had the whole town’s respect there for a few years…

Anyhow, the years flee by, don’t they?  Here I am, 49 years old (or young, depending on the day), and still single, never started a family or anything, didn’t even come close really.  Career-wise, I had a few good years in my 30’s.  I started a reputable business, I joined the chamber of commerce.  But I got lazy, or complacent perhaps.  I always had the impression that there was lots of time, so it didn’t matter if I made a balls up of it.  But I guess it did matter…

I don’t know when I woke up and realized that there isn’t a LOT of time.  There is  however, quite a bit of time left, but somewhere in the recent past I’ve had an epiphany, and I realized that I had better not waste any more of it.  I have not experienced love yet!  I haven’t been to Africa yet!  I haven’t learned the guitar yet!  I haven’t experienced wealth, and I deserve it! (that’s an affirmation, by the way)

“Nine-tenths of wisdom is being wise in time”. - Theodore Roosevelt

“A man who dares to waste one hour of time has not discovered the value of life.” - Charles Darwin

Life is short - we shouldn’t waste it.
