The next one is sitting there waiting for the regular time to arrive. You might be getting confused about my new publishing date for Transforming Stress. Those posts used to be published late Saturday night. I've moved the date up to Thursday night/Friday morning. bikehikebabe,

It sounds as if you needed a lot of time to figure out what you really want in life. Conrad, Actually, I figured it out a long time ago. It's just that I never got around to telling other people. You know how that goes.... ;) Scott,

Procrastination the BEST use of my time? Actually, I think so. This may sound lame, but I guess my whole life up to a year ago I was procrastinating. Knowing I needed to change but just didn't want to yet. I think, with all of that procrastination I have learned so much more about me and life than I would have had I not procrastinated.

Good for you! That was a big job. That's the kind of job it takes me a long time to get myself psyched up for. I'm glad your gravatar is working now. :) bikehikebabe, I recycle my "treasures" through an organization that comes by to get them. So I'm not tempted to add to my collection. Evan, I'm like you in that I try to arrange my life so I mostly do the things I love. But sometimes a big job comes along that takes a major commitment to do. Those take longer for me to tackle...and while I'm "procrastinating" I'm getting myself psyched up to do it. Liara, That's a valid way of looking at it too. In these two examples I clearly had different priorities than doing routine chores. With the paperwork example from last week I was going through the transition to tackling a big job. Cathy,
