Procrastination (Photo credit: Emilie Ogez)
This is going to be a short post. There are a lot of things I should be doing right now, but I am not because I am writing this post. I’ll get to them, but for now I am going to do something else. This is the main reason why many things I should be doing don’t get done: task bumping. Task bumping is the act of moving a task down the lists of things to do because I would rather not do, so I make excuses and do something other first.
Tell us about something you know you should do . . . but don’t.
The important thing that I should do and do not, or have not, is to stop smoking. It is inane know all the risks and disadvantages of smoking and still taking so much time to quit. I am working on it. I have a category dedicated to the task to help me stay active in that area. I am do well, take a look if you will, there is a listing for it on the menu. This passing week I made a goal and I set a new one. So the “But don’t” part of this post is slated to be history. Stop by the Quit Smoking posts to support my efforts or provide useful advice. I need all the help I can find on this “should do.”

Is truth, it is harder than anything I’ve done.
Yes, stop smoking has got to be one of the toughest things to do.
Bump tasks all day long if that’s what it takes to quit. Quitting has got to be your first priority for awhile at least, because your health has got to be your first priority for now.

I wish you loads of blessings and strength to beat this thing. Celebrate every little victory. Be well.
