Pondering or Procrastination?

So I've been pondering (sometimes heavily) a blog post. It's been in my mind for days, and it's been bugging me for days because it's not something that I know what to write on, per se.

The idea popped into my head just now, and I sat staring into a cloud outside pondering what to write when I realised that I could have written something entirely different instead of thinking this topic to smithereens.

I recognised it for what it was: procrastination.

I've procrastinated so many things while overthinking something else.

I have a drive full of half-baked novels that I'm in theory still thinking about.

When it comes to writing, only one thing counts from now on, and that is action.

If a thought doesn't immediately inspire action, it's not one worth pondering about, and I can move on to something that inspires me to actually put fingers to keyboard.

The same goes for writing down ideas for blog posts. I have a list of ideas that I've kept for years and I keep mulling those ideas over and over in my head every time I see them.

If an idea makes me want to write it immediately, it better prepare to flow from my finger tips.

If not, I'll just blow it away to ruminate elsewhere without bothering me.
