“Complete a Procrastinated Task”
What an excellent way to begin the week: Complete a Procrastinated Task!
Yes, this could be anything: A delayed trip into town, a phone call to a friend or family member, or even completing tax returns will suffice. Other lagging culprits for procrastination might include committing to God, praying and/or reading the Bible every day, and attending worship regularly.
For some of us, procrastinating is one of our biggest weaknesses. It’s not that we don’t intend to do something. Usually, our procrastinated tasks are things we either don’t enjoy or seem difficult. Often, we fear that our tasks might create conflict or pain in other people, if not in our own hearts and minds. The reasons for our excuses are many. We have the best intentions, and our hearts and minds are in the right place. We just can’t clear that hump.
Today is everyone’s least favorite day of the week. This Challenge is not intended to make the day worse. In fact, if we complete this procrastinated item, we might find that this day was the best day of our week. In some cases, this might be the best day of the year!
What is your procrastinated task? One of mine was this devotion. I put it off for several days before sitting down to write it. But by the end of today, I’ll have one less thing hanging over my head.
Let’s get it done! Complete that procrastinated task and give God a big, “Thank You”, for helping us to start the week on the right (or left) foot!
“Don’t put it off; do it now! Don’t rest until you do.” (Proverbs 6:4, NLT)
