Just some thoughts...

Every day, as I write Poetiquejustis, I pray it will be a blessing to someone.
Today, I hope it is you.

Get On With It!

 I am going to stop putting things off starting tomorrow. Sam Levensen

 


Procrastination



It is nothing new

The word has been around since the 16th century

mid 16th century: from Latin procrastinat- ‘deferred till the morning’, from the verb procrastinare, from pro- ‘forward’ + crastinus ‘belonging to tomorrow’ (from cras ‘tomorrow’)

The attitude has been around  far longer

 


Everyone puts off doing things they don't want to do

Unless they want to be successful


 

Then it's about time.


 

And that's poetiquejustis 

A little sleep, a little slumber, a little folding of the hands to rest, and poverty will come upon you like a robber, and want like an armed man.

Proverbs 6:11
