Do It Now and Don't Procrastinate!

My five year old, Jason, has been sick the last week and finally I got it. Of course we all get sick so I'm taking my turn but this time I'll have to say it's a doozy.

Since I work at home I have the chance to take care of my son when my wife is out. When he does those child things like crying over what seemingly is nothing, I think of how glad I am to be home to show kindnesses to him.

You can use some of thefollowing words about procrastination with anything in life that you wish to succeed at. Being that I write on Home Business you can use it for that as well.

Wish I didn't procrastinate with friends or anything else as for that matter, why do I procrastinate? I'll likely not ever find the answer, but I can try to eliminate it, even though I don't always know why I do it.

Here's a poem I read that addresses the subject of procrastination that pumps me up when I read it.

When you have time---the friend you hold so dear
May be beyond the reach of all your sweet intent;
May never know that you so kindly meant
To fill his life with sweet content--
When you had time.
Now is the time! Ah, friend, no longer wait
To scatter living deeds and words of cheer
They may not meet you in the coming year--
Now is the time!
