Procrastination has become a disease. Of course, we wouldnt be living in this day and age if what used to be just a little quirk is now being considered a negative thing, or a disease, an ailment that requires medication. Everything for a buck, I say.

I, for one, think that procrastination is a good thing. If you understand the Law of Attraction you know what I mean.

The basic premise of the Law of Attraction is that we must be aligned with cosmic energy. To do so, we are told to send positive thoughts, which, in turn will align us to the Universe. Once that is set, then, it follows that we will be rightly inspired to action.

An uninspired action is fruitless, meaning, no good. You will not feel good and you will offer resistance while acting upon certain things. Hence, the action itself will be just plain bad and the results even worse.

Let me give you an example: I know that every Tuesday I have to write an article for my e-zine. I have some topics in mind that I think you will not only be able to enjoy, but also be able to use my suggestions and feel better. After all, that is what this e-zine is all about.

When I feel the pressure to write when I am not totally ready to do so, I sit in front of the computer, and stare at the monitor for hours. I waste my time because I am not using it in a most productive way. On top of it, the article needs tons of revisions as the message gets all truncated. I have done in the past and I dont recommend it to anyone. Things dont work as they should.

However, if I wait until my inspiration flows in, I am pretty sure that not only I will write an inspiring article, but also I will write it much faster and be done with it in no time. And feel good in the process.

I can give you tons of examples on how we force actions and waste time. And then complain we cant accomplish things. No wonder. Think about when you had to write a college report, or when you needed to vacuum, or empty your suitcases and put your clothes away after traveling, and, gee whiz, do your taxes!

You were completely non-aligned with the Universe; you hated to do what you must. You were unhappy. And that is no good. So, now that you know better, next time a similar situation arises, take these two suggestions:

1. Wait until the inspiration comes

Sitting in front of the computer doing nothing will do me no good. However, while I am waiting for my inspired action, I respond to my most important my emails, I do business, I make plans for future articles and books, I read about things I am interested in learning at the moment, and so on.

Soon, just like magic, I know exactly what I will write and put together a good article in no time. Instead of wasting time, I have increased my business, learned about something new, got in touch with my loved ones, and so on.

2. Outsource

I know my limitations and act upon what I love and know how to do well. Who am I to deal with numbers? Why, I cant quite do a budget, let alone taxes. I love to think about money; I just dont care for calculating.

My inspiration will never come when I think about doing taxes. I am not aligned to the Universe in that sense. Instead of developing a headache and gaining 10 pounds eating chocolate (comfort food), I give my papers to a person who loves to do this kind of thing, and is good at it as well. Do I have to pay for his services? You bet! But boy, this is one of my best investments, if you ask me, because I feel free to do the things I love and fell happy in the process.

So there. Next time someone criticizes you for being a procrastinator just say: I am not a procrastinator; I am just waiting for inspiration. And leave it at that.

Now, before you declare that you are not at all inspired, give your task a try. Sometimes, it is only a matter of jump starting; you will soon see that a little kick was just what you needed. Go for it!

See? In no time I just wrote over 740 words. I only hope you read and enjoyed them all.
