So what's your hang-up?

"Hang-ups" are a procrastinator's favorite tool. For example, I've had so many "hang-ups" during the past week, that I just haven't taken the time to put up a new blog image. Every time I sat down at the keyboard, I would begin to think about something else. I would get hung-up, or distracted, and like this knot of ubiquitous plastic hangers, whenever I would try to pull one out, it would only get caught on the next distraction.

While some hang-ups are fun as they delay us in what we should be doing, other hang-ups are downright annoying. How often have you started to clean out the garage only to find about ten things that you put out there over the past year to repair? Do you follow the distraction and begin repairing everything, or do you stay focused on cleaning the garage? It seems every task leads to more and more tasks because of something we didn't do when we should have.

Some would say, "The best way to not get hung-up on anything is to not do anything," but then you're stuck with a never ending knot of hangers. So stay focused and finish the job. It will make life so much easier.
