Right now!!!
But maybe I'm not.
It's hard to know anymore. One of the things that I want to do more regularly is write - here or anywhere actually. Since my office is currently in my house what happens instead is that I get up and stop at the computer on my way to make a cup of tea and end up starting in on some unfinished project from yesterday.
And I never get around to writing anything - here or anywhere else - because I'm finishing an unfinished project which will lead right into another project.
Right now I decided to write and sitting next to me is one of those unfinished projects from yesterday. Realistically it's more like 9 unfinished projects. Sigh.
It all needs attention.
But is meeting a goal I set - writing regularly - actually procrastination?

I would also like to break a sweat at some point today, but may not get to that because I'm writing now and then I'll start on the nine projects.
I will probably go out and take a walk at some point because I'm wearing that Fitbit and I almost obssessively track how many steps I take each day, castigating myself for striding less than 10,000, but in the business of the doing I can walk 5,000 steps before I leave my house. And also Yogurtland is 1200 steps from my front door so I can get a sugar fix and then walk it off - that's multi-tasking.
So I'm asking myself... if I'm completing tasks that need completing is that procrastination? Or am I procrastinating on implementing the changes my life needs, e.g. brainstorming/meditating/taking the next steps to get me off this treadmill of neverending stuff that needs doing?
In getting busy with all the doing am I procrastinating on creating/flowing/being?
Perhaps the procrastination is in implementing the new habits and making the changes that will allow me to include all the things I'd like to have going on?
Okay - I'm going to call this, what I'm doing right now, meeting a goal, and get back to my unfinished projects so that I can take a
