Promise
The growing pile of unread books is gathering dust.
The recorded TV programs of the week lie unwatched.
The love and support from buddies has not been acknowledged, still.
The project deadlines are looming large and closer.
The deferred items on the To-Do list threatens to have a snowballing effect.
Tomorrow. She whispers to herself!

And that comforts me… LOL 😀

The pleasures of procrastination. 🙂
August 8, 2016 10:57 am|
You bet 🙂
August 7, 2016 1:46 pm|
🙂 We all do that. You have expressed it smartly!
August 8, 2016 11:07 am|
Yes, we are all guilty of procrastination. Thanks Tarang, glad you liked this 55er!

Happens to me – the pile of work is so overwhelming that I just do nothing. Not the best strategy but it does happen.
August 8, 2016 11:12 am|
I know what you mean. It happens to me too on some days. I just laze around and do nothing though the long list of pending tasks keep blinking at the back of my mind! Last week because of BAR-A-THON, I had kept so many chores on the back-burner! Need to finish them now!
August 7, 2016 2:09 pm|
True situation! More so nowadays, thanks to the internet 🙂 Congratulations, Shilpa on a wonderful BarAThon!
August 8, 2016 11:15 am|
Oh yes, internet is big time sucker, time just flies when you are logged in to social media sites, whatsapp etc.
Thanks Vidya! Congratulations to you too. All your posts made for such a delightful read!
August 7, 2016 2:44 pm|
There are so many things to do, and not many hours to do them 😛
Hence the universal need for procrastination 😀
Loved all your 55ers for #BarAThon! Wishing you a happy friendship day 🙂
August 8, 2016 11:17 am|
You are spot on. Sometimes, I wish we had more hours in a day!
Thanks a lot, Mithila. Happy friendship day to you too. I must tell you that I enjoyed reading all your posts! I have to read your story which you wrote during Write Tribe Festival of Words. It is on my To-Do list today. Will hop over to your blog soon!

Procrastination is the man’s worst enemy for his success. Excellently expressed.
August 8, 2016 11:18 am|
True that. Thanks Vasantha. 🙂
August 7, 2016 4:57 pm|
Take the day off and do all the tomorrow things. Nice one Shilpa.
August 8, 2016 11:22 am|
That’s the plan, Suzy. I am on it. Thanks 🙂
August 7, 2016 6:19 pm|
Classic, isn’t it? We always put it off till tomorrow. Ah, I hope tomorrow always comes then 🙂
August 8, 2016 11:50 am|
Yeah, looks like tomorrow does comes!! 😉
August 7, 2016 8:43 pm|
I’ve been procrastinating some things and they call out to me desperately. I’m whispering tomorrow as well 😉
August 8, 2016 11:51 am|
Aah! We are in the same boat. Hope you are doing your things to-do Today! 🙂
August 7, 2016 10:32 pm|
Ms. Procrastination. I like it.
August 8, 2016 11:51 am|
No, it’s bad! I hope I get my act together real soon!! 🙂
August 8, 2016 12:29 am|
I have been feeling like this for the past week 🙂 A lot of catching up to do, looking forward to reading some great posts.
August 8, 2016 11:55 am|
Yes, last week was crazily busy. Yes, I am planning to catch up on a lot of things and reading and responding to comments as well!
August 8, 2016 4:21 am|
Tomorrow. Yes. As long as we know remember that there are only two times we get nothing accomplished. Tomorrow is one of them.
August 8, 2016 12:06 pm|
Well said! We shouldn’t be putting off until tomorrow what can be done today. But still we do that 😛
August 8, 2016 11:52 am|
Time is passionless…ruthless…never deserts….it sucks life within its fold….none can escape its dungeon….but liberty is defiant…it empowers to dream an escape…from one world of nothingness to another world of nothingness….one suffocating and another fulfilling…choices are also made by time…by denial or acceptance…nice reading for the morn….best regards
August 8, 2016 12:11 pm|
Thanks for sharing some profound thoughts. Agree with you completely. Time is so valuable and procrastination corrupts it.
August 8, 2016 6:06 pm|
Your tale Shilpa? and so many others as well, thanks to the speed life runs at , IF we let it. Great post 🙂
August 30, 2016 11:20 pm|
Yes it is 😛
Sigh! It is the story of our lives. So much to do and so little time… Thanks Sunila 🙂
August 8, 2016 7:41 pm|
This girl seems so like me! And that day never comes to fulfill the promises 😛
Cheers
August 30, 2016 11:21 pm|
And she is … well… ME!! LOL 😀
August 8, 2016 7:45 pm|
It ain’t easy to keep up all the promises but the will never dies….:)
August 30, 2016 11:23 pm|
Yes and the wish that there were 36 hours in a day! 😀
August 9, 2016 9:12 am|
Tomorrow can be such a comfortable word sometimes!! 🙂
August 30, 2016 11:24 pm|
Oh it is!! It instantly lifts so much weight from the mind! 😀
August 9, 2016 5:18 pm|
Sigh! The To-Do list never comes down does it? Today’s promises…just die another day! Loved your series through BarAThon Shilpa!
August 30, 2016 11:29 pm|
True. Wonder how the to-do list keeps piling up! 🙄
Thanks Kala, it was wonder to have you around this BAR-A-THON. Enjoyed reading your humorous posts too 🙂
August 10, 2016 9:18 am|
The longer the list of To dos become, the more becomes our tendency to do nothing about them. Was it fiction or a fact?
August 30, 2016 11:30 pm|
Fact… sigh 😐
August 10, 2016 2:30 pm|
havent we all done this “I will do it tomorrow atleast once”
lovely small story
August 30, 2016 11:30 pm|
Yeah… story of our lives 😀 Thanks DeedEE 🙂
August 12, 2016 8:19 am|
Ah! So many commitments, so little time and no prioritization means nothing gets done!!
August 30, 2016 11:39 pm|
I am in such a state of affairs right now that 24 hours seem so less for me. I know prioritization is the key… I will do it all… soon… sigh!
