Challenging Time

Waiting Until the Last Minute
Can Be Challenging

Sometimes, we want to create challenges for ourselves. I guess it's part of our nature. Even I, as organized as I am and try to remain being, still have to challenge myself with time.

For instance, today I knew I had an appointment to get to at a certain time. I looked at the clock several times throughout the day and knew I could do something else before I needed to get ready for the appointment. In the last half-hour before I had to depart, I found myself scrambling to make myself decent. Not fun.

It's interesting, if we know we have to do something or be somewhere by a certain time, why do we CHOOSE to delay, delay, delay? I can only assume we like the game of challenging time. I've tried to slow or stop the clock, and have even successfully arrived at a destination on time when I've left late. There was satisfaction in that -- but the agony of getting there on time was not so satisfying.

I guess life is a game and we choose our games accordingly. So, procrastinators, I will try to admire your game, although personally, I'll opt to play something else.
