> Most of us are carrying around a check, an opportunity to make an impact, to do the work we're cap

Procrastination is an ongoing challenge for me.  I do it at precisely the time I can least afford to do it and I am only starting to understand why I do it.  The last few days have been procrastination days and I came across two posts this morning which speak to this self-defeating habit in fairly powerful terms:

• Procrastination is the Thief of Time by Chase Jarvis; and
• Cashing the check by Seth Godin.
