Procrastination Is Making A Cup Of Tea
I’ve just had a mad 5 days attending a film festival, learning a whole lot, making new friends and watching some seriously inspiring movies. It’s also got my creative juices working again.
And this film about Procrastination was one of my favourites, because it sums up what I’ve been doing lately. NOT ENOUGH.
Procrastination is messing about on Facebook.
Procrastination is reading everyone’s posts on Twitter
Procrastination is buggerising about on Youtube
Procrastination is aimlessly wandering around the web with Stumbleupon
Procrastination is reading the Sydney Morning Herald
Procrastination is playing spider, endlessly
Procrastination is watching Oprah
Procrastination is looking for Asterix books on eBay
Procrastination is writing to-do lists without actually doing anything on the list
Procrastination is drinking wine on weeknights
Procrastination is joining Script Frenzy and then not coming up with a single idea
It’s having dozens of ideas and not following through on any of them
Procrastination is owning a bunch of domain names and not getting around to using them
It’s owning Celtx and YWriter and still not really knowing how to start (or how to use the software)
Procrastination is watching videos about procrastination
It’s blogging about the video, and making my own list of individual distractions
It’s putting off changing my life til tomorrow because I’m too tired today
Procrastination is putting off the inevitable.
Procrastination is making a cup of tea.
Procrastination is stopping me from writing a novel. From writing a screenplay. From making a film. From creating more websites. Procrastination is sucking my creativity, wasting my time, slowly eking away the precious seconds of my life.
The procrastination has to stop. Now.
