Life has a habit of throwing a lot of questions into our collective faces. Questions about what we’re doing, how we’re doing it, and who we’re doing it with. Most of them are so open ended that it’s impractical to expect a definitive answer. How do you know when it’s the right time to make a move, or you’ve gone down the right path in your recent course of action. How can anyone know?

Todays words from the digital man cave are about reason #5 on the list of reasons why I’d like to meet Steve Pavlina. It’s actually about one of my personal challenges in life. One I am finally beginning to get a handle on. One of my biggest challenges in life has  been procrastination. Always.

I’ll give you a hint on how bad it is for me.

I started writing this blog post on November 3rd.
