What do you wish you could do more every day?

I like being a busy woman but I am a great procrastinator. I choose to be busy to keep procratinarion at bay.  At least I always thought I was a procrastinator until I looked the word up for this blog.

Absolutely none of the given reasons are the causes of what I consider my procrastination habit.

I delay tasks because experience has taught me that doing a task too early or at an inopportune time often results in a re-do  or a less good result.

Procrastination suited me because it is just one word. Now I am left with a great word salad. Thinking, Planning, inspiration, mulling. Timeliness

I prefer to do things/stuff when all my ducks are in a row.

Many ducks, many rows.

Sometimes all my deliberate delaying tactics are waiting for just a few things. Sponteneity, Serendipity and inspiration.

Picking the word procrastination apart I realise that I necessarily delay or postpone  some tasks because I know that doing something too soon can result in a less good outcome.

I love ticking off lists of things achieved but feel really disappointed in myself if I do something sub- optimally because it was rushed or completed just for the sake of  a tick on a life list.

So what do I wish I could do more every day?

Just a little more thinking and a little less doing.  It is a discipline thing because I have more time than I ever have ever had. But thinking time is undervalued as an achievement.

What will I be doing now I know that I am not a procrastinator but something else entirely that currently has no name. And if it has no name how can I possibly do it?
