The first step is the hardest

Proscratination is a big ugly word for many people.  I don't like it.  It sound like being lazy and pushing everything to later. It is not productive in this modern production driven mentality.  We should always be ready for the production mode, getthing things done in a robotic fashion and with volume of paper work filling the desk.  This is pretty depressing to think that we are at that point where we should be perfect and productive all the time and everywhere.

I decided to view proscratination in another way.  First, yes, I may use the word proscratinate but not all the time.  It happen when I have done nothing during the day.  I always have a few objectives for the day.  When I don't do any objectives, I have proscratinated very badly and it is where I should put some pressure to go and do them.  Secondly, I don't like to acknolwedge number one but I can recognize that the first step is the hardest to do.

Yes, It is the major point and the hardest one: sit down and do.  The starting point is the hardest to do.  After that, the motion is set.  I am in the big hamster wheel just after doing the first step.  Once the motion is on, it is hard to stop.  It is where I feel better: after breaking the ice.  Each person may have some strategy to get the switch on.  I don't think there is one better than the others.  We are individuals and we work on a personal level, so strategies must be on the personal level.  Trial and error along the way put some spice in knowing ourselves anyway.

No to proscratination but yes in finding a way to break the ice and set the wheel into motion!
