Thoughts on……………..

Procrastination
It’s never long before the
consequences of procrastination
rears its ugly face.
Grumpy, discouraged and overwhelmed,
try to do a little here and there.
 You will escape
the suffocating hold that
procrastination grips your life with.
Looking back how many days did you do nothing?
Was it worth it?
Probably not
