Lag Time
My wife Tania and I began golf lessons this spring and had our second
one this past Saturday. I had been taught how to play at the age of
seven and despite a twenty year break from the sport discovered I had
pretty good body memory. This is the first training Tania has had but
she learned how to figure skate starting at age three and completed
that whole program over fifteen years. She is thus very athletic and
has had the experience of mastering a sport from the ground up.
Our
golf pro Cam has been teaching us drills. Golf has been coming back for
me pretty quickly and I've gotten bored with them. But Tania is very
disciplined and just does the drills.
For Tania, the ball is not
yet going straight and up, but all over the place. Even so, Cam is very
pleased with how she is mastering each component of the golf swing and
stance. So even though the results are not there yet, she is in the
process of mastering this very complex sport.
There is a lag
between practicing something and the results showing up. It is possible
and likely to be doing very well at something and assuming that I'm not
doing well just because the results have not shown up yet. We all have
to be prepared to have patience, discipline and joy during the lag.

I myself am a 'constructive' procrastinator... I don't know if I'm alone in this.
I have about six or seven projects I'm working on at any given time. I get one project almost done... then my interest is piqued by another project and I work on that... I get burnt out and move to another...I know I do this so I have it arranged such that once I get bored or burnt out with one project, I can step right back into project 1 - or 2 or 3, and get that a little bit more done before moving on to something else.
As long as you're organized and know where all your reference material/idea sheets are when you're ready to get back to work on each project, it should be fine. I also find that by stepping away from a project - I still work on it in the recesses of my mind so that when I go back to it - it's with some good ideas that I wouldn't have had if I'd continued on with it originally.
Maybe I should write a book on how to Procrastinate Constructively... I've actually thought about doing that...because most people procrastinate, don't they...and very few are ever able to stop.
