Procrastination

Ecclesiastes 11:4 “Whoever watches the wind will not plant; whoever looks at the clouds will not reap.”

Hello, my name is Sharon, and I am a lifelong procrastinator.
There is something about having a mission that sends me down rabbit trails. When I was a kid, cleaning up my room meant that I would find something really interesting under my bed that required my attention most of the day. An English project made me want to do math. Any task could send me to the bathroom with a book. Can anyone relate?
Things have not improved in adulthood. Don’t ask me to sort magazines and throw things away…I will find seven articles that are fundamental to my happiness and wellbeing, so they must be read immediately. Folding laundry can wait until I look up an amazing recipe for Thanksgiving dinner…in May. Pulling weeds results in dreaming of a perfect garden. I start each day with a list of “to-do’s” and go to bed without the equal number of “dones.” Seriously, can anyone relate?
When I started this blogging journey, I had a goal of writing five days a week. Since this is something that I wanted to do, how could I be diverted? The procrastination monster struck again! I have so many notes to self about bog topics in my phone, in my calendar, and on random scraps of paper, but it is obvious that they didn’t get written anywhere but my head. Yet, I do have notes, so that is something to celebrate.
I refuse to be discouraged, even though the writer of Ecclesiastes warns us that “Whoever watches the wind will not plant; whoever looks at the clouds will not reap.” I desire to plant thoughts and ideas that reap Godly relationships and a love for Jesus, but so far I have watched the wind and looked at clouds. On sunny days I have seen puppies and wagons and beautiful faces in the clouds, and dancing leaves in the winds. The grey clouds roll and tumble by like a locomotive with the wind propelling them through the sky. I know that chasing rabbit trails, diverting to whatever is more interesting, and lazing through an enjoyable day can all be redeemed and used for good, and even a blog post. Nothing is wasted, not even procrastination.
Can anyone relate? What derails your day, causing you to procrastinate and not get the “to-do’s” done? Or are you someone that gets it done? If so, can you give me some pointers?
