If not now, when?

I am one of the best procrastinators. It is a skill I developed in college, and have refined over the years, to perfection. In addition, to infusing a task with excitement (or maybe, . . . horror), the practice of waiting until closer to a deadline allows me to think through an idea, pivot if necessary, and when the time come to get it done I can focus all of my energy on it.

The problem is that when there is no deadline some things simply never happen. We often call this procrastination, but, it isn’t. Rather, it is simply failing to start.
