From The Desk Of The Retired Teacher
A tweet and a tag on Twitter had me thinking. And with New Year’s 2023, right around the corner, a few hours away, a post, that to me, seems apropos!
Distraction and procrastination and how they go hand in hand. Might be like a symbiotic relationship. Come have a read. And to fill you in to the Tweet have a listen. Then the thread
A friendship formed to benefit us. An excuse, a way out when it’s needed. And isn’t this the time of year to reflect. As I look back, take stock what was needed to be done, what I did, what didn’t get done and then the big Why Not!
Here in lies the congruence, the convergence the distraction and it’s friendship with procrastination. The question which comes first may come to mind? Does distraction lead to procrastination or does procrastination lead to distraction? Or are they parallel roads? Is this where the symbiosis (nature ) comes to play. Are we aided by this relationship?
We can lay out our arguments quite successfully, I think. Eventually we make choices and get things done. Or throw them in the waste bin of later (procrastination) or the sink hole of upheaval (distraction).
And just maybe, although in the past my #oneword journey has lead me to empowering, forward moving choices for the coming year, I might lull here in distraction and procrastination, for awhile.
Wishing all a year of good health. A year filled with joyful experiences. A year of hope and peace.
Looking forward to hearing your thoughts and where this post may lead you. Do you have a #ONEWORD2023 to share?
