Friend,

Do you procrastinate?

I certainly do.

Most people would agree that procrastination is bad.

I used to think that too.

But one summer I procrastinated really badly signing up the kids to a theater summer camp at our church. The boys, Awan especially, really wanted to be "on stage." But by the time I got around to it, there were no spots left.

I beat myself up about this with a passion – if there ever was proof that I was a bad mom this was it.

Then the day of the play came.

I thought at least I would get the kids on time to watch the show, but I didn’t. We were late. I was worse than a bad mother.

We never made it to the show that day. The police turned us around in the parking lot.

That day, during the play, there was a mass shooting. Our church was in the national news that night. Two people were killed and several more were gravely injured by an attack that was classified as a hate crime. Miraculously, no kids were injured, even though many of them where in the line of fire.

If I had not procrastinated signing up my boys, they would have been in the play, and my husband and I would have been sitting right in the line of fire, which was where we always liked to sit.

If we had been early to the play, all four of us would have been sitting in the line of fire.

Even though we weren’t there, many of our dear friends were, and one of them was killed.

After that day I swore I would never again beat myself up for procrastinating or being late.

Today, I use procrastination as a tool to help people get things done.

My students and clients use this tool to get anything done without adding effort to their lives. It sounds lazy and impossible, I know, but I assure you it's the truth.

I want to share this tool with you for a symbolic price: $0.99. Learn more...
