If you, like me, are prone to procrastination then you know that you have to vigilant, to be alive to the possibility of procrastination sneaking up on you and taking something you need to get done off your hands.  Recently I spotted a new way I had been procrastinating- I wonder if you can relate? 

I had began using a prefix "R&D such and such" on my task lists. This might have been okay if I only used this for things that had little or no importance, for things where it didn't matter if I did them or not. 

But I was using this R&D prefix on my lists as a way to postpone the thinking about projects I needed to get done. Rather than doing the thinking at the point I added one of these things to my list, I put it off and buried that thing out of sight and out of mind as a result. Procrastination. 

Procrastination is something we do when we're unsure about the thing that needs to be done. Postponing the thinking about that thing is procrastination. Don't hide from the thinking. Do it as soon as you can. Only then will you keep procrastination at bay.
