Being an individual with a vast array of interests, I struggled with the notion of starting a blog - what would I write about? (And why on earth would anyone else want to read my ramblings?)
Truth be told, I thought blogging was somewhat sillly and possibly risky - who knows who you're going to offend, right? Then I noticed how many people I respected and liked were engaged in this so-called silliness.
The blog's name actually became the impetus for this little project and the scope that it would take.
For those of you who have not been enligtened, Procasticleaning is word, a verb, an activity; it was created because I, like many other people, am an inveterate procrastinator. I found myself one afternoon, partaking in a most unfavourite activity (namely cleaning) to avoid doing some other kind of work. Hence, procrasticleaning.
In sharing my newly created word with others, I realized I had stumbled upon something that was not only funny (surprise), but relatable. Procrasticleaning, along with procrastishopping, procrastidancing, procrasticwriting...is something we all do. How often in our world this is percieved as a negative, when actually (in my opinion anyway) time well "wasted" can, in fact be the impetus for something beautifully creative, something profound, something that may just turn the world on its head.
Just think of all of the things we might not be fortunate enough to enjoy today if somone had not let their mind go for a walk into the imagination of the possible.
It's purpose here is to recognize the value of procrastination, for the potential that it holds and the enjoyment that it brings (and also because this broad definition lets me talk about whatever I want here).
Here's to procrasticleaning...and possibly turning the world on its head...hope you enjoy.
