July 12, 2026 - Procrastination

My thought for today is Procrastination. The act of delaying or avoiding a task, decision, or responsibility — especially when one knows the delay is unnecessary, unhelpful, or harmful. Procrastination has been called a five syllable word meaning sloth. But, sloth stops me from doing the work. Procrastination stalls me. Sloth says I don't want to do that. Procrastination says I'll do it later. But, really, we ought to do whatever it is and do it now, because later is not promised.
