Hey K-LOVE family! It’s Carlos and Amy, here to help you answer one of life’s most pressing questions:
“Am I a procrastinator… or just super chill?”
Well, friend, if you’ve ever found yourself scrubbing your baseboards instead of finishing a report for work (or writing a blog post… oops), you might just be in the procrastinator’s club. Don’t worry — we’ve saved you a seat (we just haven’t finished labeling the chairs yet).
So, how do you really know? Here are a few tell-tale signs:
1. Your To-Do List is Actually a “Tomorrow List”
If you keep moving that one big thing to tomorrow… and then the next tomorrow… and then the tomorrow after that, well… that’s classic procrastinator energy. Don’t worry, we’re guilty too.
2. You Suddenly Become Weirdly Productive
Ever notice that right when a deadline hits, you suddenly feel inspired to reorganize your pantry by color? Or decide it’s the perfect moment to deep-clean your car? (Pro tip: That’s your brain saying, “Anything but this scary task!”)
3. You Rely on the Adrenaline Rush
You’re positive you work better under pressure. But is that really true… or have you just become a professional last-minute sprinter? (Hey, we all love a little thrill — but maybe not every week.)
4. You Keep Saying, “Future Me Will Handle It”
Spoiler alert: future you is actually just you, but more tired and probably annoyed at past you. Show them some love by tackling that thing today.
What Can You Do?
Alright, fam. We can’t leave you hanging. If you’re nodding along (or nervously laughing), here are a few gentle ideas:
✅ Break it down: Tackle your task in bite-sized chunks.
✅ Set a tiny timer: Tell yourself you’ll work for just 5 minutes.
✅ Tell a friend: Nothing like a little positive accountability.
✅ Pray for help: Seriously. Ask God to help you use your time wisely and give you the focus you need.
Final Thought 💛
Procrastination doesn’t make you lazy — it makes you human. We all do it. But God calls us to live intentionally, not out of constant stress.
So whether you’re about to conquer your inbox or finally fix that squeaky cabinet door, know that you’ve got this… and we’re cheering you on from the studio!
Love ya,
Carlos & Amy
