Can you find time? Stop looking. You will never find it. It isn’t lost. I missed it. As you can see September 6th is almost over. Was I procrastinating? Not really. I am behind/ on my blog postings, not because of procrastination, but because it was less of a priority than the other things on my to-do list. Procrastination and Stress Sometimes we procrastinate because jobs or tasks are difficult or time consuming, but it is not procrastination if the job doesn’t rank in importance or urgency.
