Putting Off

Daily writing prompt
What have you been putting off doing? Why?

I’m not a procrastinator but I definitely tend to put off things I don’t want to do. There are times when I’ve ignored a problem or task and it’s taken care of itself somehow. This has given me the idea that most problems just work themselves out without me having to do anything which is actually a bad habit to get into, and obviously this doesn’t always work out.

There’s a saying that goes…..once begun it’s half done…….and I kinda use that saying to get myself to start on a situation I’ve been putting off. I tend to not like confrontation so it’s very hard for me to begin something if I know that there will be a disagreement involved. I think that’s why I tend to let things go and use my philosophy of letting things work themselves out on their own.

Lately tho I’ve been putting off anything where I have to go online and set up a profile and establish a password. I hate all of it. I have a small book of passwords for all these different websites and I dislike the idea of creating another one. But I know this is the wave of the future as fewer companies actually mail documents to you anymore and everything becomes digital and paperless. I like holding something in my hand and reading it and then keeping it in a designated folder or throwing it away.

It is the one problem that I know won’t take care of itself and I will have to do it myself and I’ll have to get out my book of passwords and write down yet another one and hope I don’t lose it. I know this makes me sound old and I dislike that too, but I’m still not comfortable with a paperless society with everything on the computer or on my phone.

Peace and Love

One thought on “Putting Off

  1. I’m old enough to understand the reluctance to let go of paper copies. There are always new things to acknowledge and decide whether to embrace. I’m still resisting some of them as well.
