Sloth:habitual disinclination to exertion; indolence; laziness.

Today I have not been outside once. Most of my time has been sitting in front of my computer, and my intentions, although good, have been completely unsuccessful. I have things to write, and a portfolio to organize, and yet procrastination has become all too common for this 21 year old. Officially an adult and I feel like I have habits that I should have put to death years ago. Part of me wishes I had the determination and discipline to sit down and work on something start to finish and the result being excellence. Reality is that many things take me longer to do than they ever really should and almost never in one sitting.

Honestly this is embarrassing. I think I have a problem with sloth, and as a disclaimer I would say it is not all the time. But there are days where I have lost the desire to do anything I am supposed to and everything I am not supposed to or that is unimportant is so appealing! How do I change this wretched part of me? Results of a quick google search have revealed the Bible to compare the slothful to weak, dumb dogs, the opposite of diligent, wimpy, whinny and a begging mooch.

Ouch.

In response to my question of change, I would request the assistance of my faithful blog readers to give me the proverbial kick in the pants when you see fit. If I object, something to the effect of "you are a slothful, lazy, wimpy, whinny begging mooch." should suffice. And no this is not too harsh. I think a realization of reality in one's life is often the most effective cure to something many of us are experts in...... lying to ourselves. And despite the pain of the truth I would like to think that the outcome is ultimately for the benefit and growth of a person.

I need to go ride my bike or something else active, or is this procrastination at it's best? Waste a day away in avoiding what is important and then once realizing the waste and laziness that has occurred, one fuels the fire of procrastination in proposing to do something active that is still not accomplishing what is important. How about I propose to do something Productive.

Just the word sloth is so unappealing. Gross. Alright...moving on to more productive things.
Peace.
