Procrastination

Hello everyone... you all may be wondering if the reason i'm writing this post now, the day before my very tough paper, has anything to do with the title... :) well.. er... just came across a few good blog posts, so thought i'll share them... The topic is on procrastination, something many of us face i guess... The author should be familiar to most people - if u all read "I Kissed Dating Goodbye", he's Joshua Harris' mentor C.J. Mahaney...

So here they are... in order of reading..

Confessions of a Busy Procrastinator

The Procrastinator Within

Just Do It

Ok... a quote, then back to studying..............

"No unwelcome tasks become any the less unwelcome by putting them off till tomorrow. It is only when they are behind us and done, that we begin to find that there is a sweetness to be tasted afterwards, and that the remembrance of unwelcome duties unhesitatingly done is welcome and pleasant. Accomplished, they are full of blessing, and there is a smile on their faces as they leave us. Undone, they stand threatening and disturbing our tranquility, and hindering our communion with God. If there be lying before you any bit of work from which you shrink, go straight up to it, and do it at once. The only way to get rid of it is to do it."
-Alexander MacLaren (1826–1910), Scottish preacher
