I've always had this problem with procrastinating, and recently I've become more consciously aware of it - mostly because I am so unhappy with my professional situation, but also because I am actually lazy and it’s something I don’t particularly like about myself. It's maddening! And I do feel most productive only when I have so much else to do it’s overwhelming.<BR/><BR/>But it's funny how, because of these realizations about myself, I've already made these little changes - and step by step they are making a difference! I started participating in Illustration Friday... which has led me to draw a little bit every day... which has led to working on projects I've been thinking about for years... which has led to ACTUAL accomplishment! It's amazing. It feels good.<BR/><BR/>I’ve made these changes gradually and increasingly over the last few months. But I’ve really started to notice a difference in the last couple weeks. Then I happened upon your post while updating my blog links...<BR/><BR/>Thanks for your blind encouragement! It’s truly appreciated.melinda beavershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13925530501734983654noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10098841.post-1139074251723925292006-02-04T09:30:00.000-08:002006-02-04T09:30:00.000-08:00I feel ya.
