does anyone else use the board to assist w/procrastination?

I read a great thing about anti-procrastination and it really got me going. I think I got it from Unity e-mail. This really helps me to not beat myself up mentally for putting things off:
Putting off things until tomorrow is simply putting them off altogether. When I delay in getting things done, it may be because I do not want to do them at all. When I accept what is, I then have an opportunity to move forward without delay. All effort, work and accomplishment take place in the present, not the future. I release my tendency to put things off and I begin.
Much of the inclination to postpone projects and responsibilities lies in my need for order and organization in my thinking and my life. If I am slow in getting things done, I can map them out and approach them one by one.
I love looking at all the quilts and get such great ideas from everyone!
Peace and Love, Linda
