About this listen
Sometimes, when I have something important to do, I must confess I feel a little resistance. It's an interesting phenomenon because it's like a general lethargy. Like the energy has drained away and there's nothing left for the job at hand. In those moments, all sorts of other activities suddenly appear infinitely more appealing.
YouTube's a quick click away, and the algorithms have numerous suggestions that seem interesting and even, if I'm honest, urgent.
And there's research to be done, too. New equipment for the studio or books on Amazon.
And hey, I haven't played my guitar in a while!
Not that any of these things are wrong, of course. It's just that they are far from more important than the project I need to work on.
Procrastination. I'm pretty sure I'm not the only guy plagued with that.
In fact, it's historical. Even St. Paul, prodigious achiever that he was notwithstanding, lamented about that. Let's see if we can get somewhere in looking at this.
Why Do I Do the Things I Don't Want, today on Thinking with Somebody Else's Head.
