The Art of Procrastination

Here I am on day 2 of my "blog life". Sitting here in the morning and creating something coherent (I hope) is in direct opposition to my usual modc of procrastination. I once joked that I was going to set up a procrastinators club, as soon as I had time. I of course realized that I had all the time there was (being 24 hours each day) and it was my choice what to do with it. So it really comes down to choices, doesn't it. In trying to overcome procrastination, I look in the mirror each morning and say to myself: "what exactly are you going to use the next hours for". It seems the first thing I do is make a "to do list" of the things I must achieve during the day. This of course takes up a good part of the day which in itself is quite self defeating (sigh!). Having set forth the tasks, it is time to consider which ones I will start out doing. My usual modus operandi has me doing either the easiest ones, or the ones that are the most fun. This of course leaves little time for the usually more important items that then get moved to tomorrows to do list, where they ultimately join items that are more fun and easier and so on and so on. All this talk about procrastination is just my way of not getting to the items on todays list. See how this works now?

I once heard the phrase "Life is now in session, are you present"? There are times when I wonder about myself, but then I can always come up with the answer later. Perhaps I can put that on my to do list for tomorrow!!!

My original intent today was to talk about my recent trip to Arizona and Monument Valley. One of my images is posted here of sunset in the valley (actually on the Utah side of the border). The process I generally use is a technique called HDR (high dynamic range) in which involves taking 3 to 5 or more images at different exposures and blending them to give an artistic look to the images. There is plenty more I could say on this subject, but I will leave that to another day. Oops there I go again!!

Until next time, create a wonderful day.

Cheers
