It helps to visualize a rubber band
That's pulling me to the task that I am hating,
And, feeling that pull, it somehow comes to hand.
Procrastination is a kind of tension
Between a thing you'd really like to do
And possibly a fear you'd rather not mention
That maybe this problem is just too much for you.
Once knee-deep in whatever swamp is calling,
The alligators don't seem quite so furious.
Viewed from afar, the challenges are sprawling.
Viewed from up close, they're smaller and more curious.
Is this guaranteed? Nope. That I cannot say.
But often enough for me it works this way.
