1. Procrastination. What is it?

procrastination
[proh-kras-tuh-ney-shuhn]
- noun
Avoiding doing something for as long as possible, sometimes not doing it at all.
Waiting until the last minute to get something done.
A philosophy based on the premise that ignoring problems will make them go away.
Putting off for tomorrow what should have been done today.
Time wasting with intent to avoid necessary action

I am very much a procrastinator by nature. More times than I care to admit, I find myself joking: I put the pro in procrastination. Obviously, this is not a skill Id like to add to my resume,
but I will admit, I have at least learned from my mistakes.
When I was younger, I could get away with procrastinating pretty easily. Studying for a spelling
test the evening before wasnt a big deal. How long do you really need to study the proper spelling of first anyway? As I grew older, and the assignments more intense, this habit didnt work
as well. Reviewing a semester of conversational Spanish the night before a final is a bit more
challenging than remembering how to spell a dozen five letter words in your mother tongue.
Who knew?
Maybe youre like me and you struggle with procrastination when studying. Maybe your struggle is different - perhaps its getting organized, finding time to fit activities into a busy schedule,
getting started with a project, or simply cleaning.
Whatever it is thats preventing you from getting things done, well try to face and obliterate it
so that you can live out your goals and meet your dreams.

2. You Only Live Once

- Benjamin Franklin
YOLO, or You Only Live Once, is a motto thats plastered everywhere these days, from memes
on Facebook, to bumper stickers, and t-shirts. (Apparently, carpe diem wasnt cool enough anymore. Or people got tired of Googling it when they forgot its meaning, and so created a phrase
in English.)

YOLO
YOLO
YOLO
Most often, you hear the phrase shortly before someone commits an
act of incredible stupidity. (Scuba diving in a tank of sharks with a
pound of fresh pork in my pocket? Sure! YOLO!)
While the phrase is fast becoming cliche - during its 15 minutes of fame, it does provide a point
worth pondering. Everyone lives only once, and once life is over, our opportunity to make an
impact on the world is gone. So, maybe becoming the next YouTube sensation by free falling
from the Grand Canyon isnt your thing (and, if you plan to live to see 2014, I hope it isnt!), but
you have things God is calling you to do with your life. Rather than sheepishly adding YOLO to
the end of every statement - lets take a look at how to get things done, to enable you to make
the most of the life you have!
So, here are some sure-fire procrastination killers. Its time to carpe diem because YOLO! (Im
probably about to get a ticket from the cliche police at this point)

Procrastination Killer #1: Get organized!

Before you can begin anything, you need to get organized.

Ask Yourself
What do I need to accomplish? What is the goal?
What tools do I need to accomplish this task?
Why do I need to accomplish this? (this is an extra credit question. If youre studying for

a test, its easy to think I need to study this because I was told to or maybe take it a step

further and think I need to study this to pass my test. But remembering I need to study

for this test so I can graduate high school or college and then do XYZ puts a bit of a dif

ferent spin on it. If your task is to clean your room, just clean it. No need to wax

philosophical and search for the deeper meaning of cleaning your room. That would be

procrastinating and were trying to prevent, not promote that here.)

Have a system to get organized

A great tool for organization is the app Any.Do. The app allows for the creation of to do lists,
which can be personalized into various categories such as work and personal. You can also get
an app for the Chrome web browser that will sync your to-do list with your smartphone app
(although you dont have to have a smartphone to use it on your browser) and even your email
account! (You can actually turn your emails into actions!)
As you get organized, remember, as my mom always says:

Its a cinch by the inch, but hard by the yard.

I used to faithfully stay on top of emails in my personal email account. Id leave my inbox
open during the day and read emails within a few hours of their arrival. The system was simple. Read, reply, forget. It worked well. Then, one day, I failed to peer into my inbox. Two days
passed. Then, three.. and four. Before I knew it, my inbox was an endless abyss of emails and I
was a bit afraid to even log in to my email account!
What once was a simple 5 minute task would now take a mammoth effort to rectify. Currently, I
think the email count on that inbox is nearing 2,000.

t f x CollegePlus.org

When I dealt with my emails in small batches, the project was manageable. However, when I
dealt with them by the yard (or mile in my case!), the project was overwhelming. When you
have a daunting task, try working on it a bit each dayto keep the feelings of impending doom at
bay. If youre already overwhelmed by a task, try breaking it down into daily, manageable goals
until the job is complete. Take the project by the inch and youll be able to complete it by the
yard.

setting goals is the first step in turning the

invisible into the visIble

-Tony Robbins

Procrastination Killer #2: Flesh out your goal

(I already talked all about this concept in the ebook, How to Set Goals That Will Stick,
but some of the concepts bear repeating. For a more thorough covering of this topic, please
download the ebook.)
Without a goal, its easy to accomplish things, but not necessarily important things. Also, if we
dont have a goal, how will we know exactly what were trying to accomplish?
Beginning a project without a goal is like baking without a recipe. Pulling random ingredients
out of the pantry and whisking them around in a bowl can result in a culinary creation....but not
necessarily a good one! Without a recipe (or at least an idea of one - are we making dinner or
dessert here?), its impossible to know if the dish should be baked, how long, or at what temperature. Even the ingredients are at the mercy of a whim!
Beginning a task without a goal is the same way. Lets say you want to clean your room. Without
a goal, you dont know how long you should spend cleaning, or even what defines clean. Is the
room clean when all the clothes are put away? When the floor is vacuumed, or once the walls
have been scrubbed? Goals provide the structure in which we accomplish things.
As Earl Nightingale said: People with goals succeed because they know where theyre going.

- earl nightingale

Goals are vital on both the macro and micro levels. Micro goals are desires such as cleaning the
house, taking care of car repairs or completing a project that youve dreaded. Macro goals are
the lifetime ambitions which are not instantly attainable. Setting goals, both big and small allow
you to maximize your life.

Procrastination Killer #3: Share your goals with

others
When setting goals (even the crazy ambitious ones) have a friend or two with whom you can
scheme, share and plan. As I work to make my goals a reality, I have a few friends who inspire
and hold me accountable. Theyre friends with whom I feel comfortable to share everything my crazy goals and my darkest failures. They cheer on my successes and encourage me through
in the midst of my failures.
When Im slacking in meeting my goals, they help me get back on the wagon. When sharing
with a friend that I had difficulty waking up early, she offered to give me a wake up call! Good
friends are a vital key in lifelong success.
Its a lot harder to tell yourself oh, Ill just study that or clean that tomorrow when you know
your friend will be calling you tonight to ask if you accomplished the goal you set.

Procrastination Killer #4: Start small

Theres always a lot of hubbub about New Years Resolutions. Typically, I shy away from laying
out a laundry list of tasks for myself on December 31st. My tendency is to wait until I am ready
to set a specific goal, rather than dredging up a to-do list for myself as reminded by a cultural

t f x CollegePlus.org

event. (Dont get me wrong, theres nothing wrong with New Years resolutions, its just not my
most effective method of goal setting.)
This year, however, was an exception. Presented with the gift of a 10-day holiday break over
the Christmas season, I had a lot of time to regroup and plan for the upcoming year with my
downtime. As a result, I inadvertently created goals for Bible study, writing projects, a blogging
course, and leading a healthier lifestyle. Suddenly, I went from a goal-less individual to a highly
frazzled, over-task person!
After a few exercises in futility on the goal setting front, I knew something needed to change. I
found it virtually impossible to wake up at 5:00am and work on writing projects after completing my massive healthy cooking project at 12:30 the night before!
Once reality set in, my tired mind realized I couldnt introduce the new me to the world over
night. Taking projects one step at a time, I decided to focus on the two most important tasks:
completing a writing project with a looming deadline, and improving my diet. Once the schedule demands of the initial two goals are met, the writing course and intensive Bible study will
find their way back into my day! This change resulted in feeling greatly relieved (and well rested!)
Its human nature to desire perfection, and to try to make sweeping changes at one time. The
bad news is, none of us are perfect. Therefore, getting back on that horse to try again will always be necessary. There is good news, though - if we keep trying, we will always have the opportunity to begin again.
Be patient. Take one step each day. Dont focus on studying the entire 500 page textbook today.
Concentrate on finishing the two chapters you need to read today. If that still seems daunting,
focus on reading one page. Then focus on the next page. And the next.
Not only will you start to gain momentum in whatever your main task is, your positive momentum for completing one goal will swing you into meeting the next challenge with full force!
(Have chores to do after you finish studying, anyone?)

Procrastination Killer #5: Be prepared

Few things can derail a project like the inability to find the materials you need. Think about the
last time you were in a rush to head out the door and you couldnt find a pair of matching socks.

t f x CollegePlus.org

Yep. Thats exactly what Im talking about.

In fact, I experienced this frustration when preparing to write this ebook. I began searching for
a resource I needed to create the outline. I searched my apartment, and the book never appeared. This incident cost me time and the chance to create exactly what I needed the moment I
was ready to create it.
Now, I cant promise to stop the sock monster from devouring your socks in the dryer, but we
can look at other ideas for keeping life organized.

Be sure you have the materials you need before you start a
project.
Have you ever tried to hang a picture, only to discover you dont own a hammer? I dont own
many tools, and I often find myself in such predicaments. Generally, I waste about 30 minutes
looking for a hammer, and another 30 trying to figure out a creative alternative to using a hammer.
In college, my creative hall-mates solution to hanging pictures without a hammer was a high
heel shoe. As much as it pains me to admit this, not every predicament can be fixed with the
right pair of shoes. (Although, Id like to argue that MANY can!) Not having the right tools to
work on a project causes much lost time and frustration.
Be sure you have the materials you need before you dive in. If youre cooking - be sure you have
all of the ingredients before you begin creating your concoction. If youre working on a report
for school, have your books at hand so you wont have to break your concentration later as you
wander to the bookshelf.

Procrastination Killer #6: Stop multitasking

Once you begin, do one thing at a time! For years, I joined the unproductive majority as a
self-proclaimed multi-tasker. I managed to convince myself I could to study for an exam, chat
with my friends over instant messenger, and watch a movie simultaneously. This created disastrously unproductive results.
Our minds are equipped to focus on one thing at a time. While it is possible to have all activities

t f x CollegePlus.org

occurring at the same time, only one can receive our attention at any given moment. We learn
this lesson as children. By the age of four or five, most of us realize the prime opportunity to
get away with mischievous acts or ask mom for a generally forbidden treat is when she is on the
phone - as she is unable to give us her full attention for the moment. When I was growing up, I
got the distraction equals permission tactic down to a science.
As a rather mischievous 11 year old, I snuck into the back of my best friends mini van as she
and her mom were leaving my house one afternoon. We giggled as our moms, wrapping up
their conversation, neglected to notice I was missing. To our delight, neither mom gained
awareness as the van was cranked and the drivers window rolled down to allow for the completion of the final bits of conversation.
Suddenly, I realized I should make my presence known. My best friend lived 30 minutes away
and neither set of moms would enjoy an hour long commute to exchange children. Not entirely
abandoning my mischievous streak, as my mom began to shout her goodbyes, I sat up, smiled
broadly, waved, and called goodbye to my mom. She smiled (still distracted by the previous
conversation) and returned the wave.
There was a slight pause. Then, Wait! Rachel! You arent going with them! followed by good
natured laughter at her own distraction. Rachel = 1 distracted mom = 0. If a mother can lose
track of her own children as she attempts to multitask, were not above losing track of the important details of a project in our own attempt to multitask.
Even in switching continually between two tasks, we lose productivity. Here, I have another moment of confession. As I was
typing this paragraph, I was distracted by a text message. It took
time to find my phone, read the text, think of a response, and tap
it out. Then, I began thinking about the potential responses to my
text.
As I was distracted from writing, I remembered I left my puppy
in her kennel and detoured to free my caged canine. In all, my
text message distraction cost 10 minutes of concentration, plus
the minutes required to fall back into writing mode following
the distractions. While not all multitasking distractions are so extreme, a similar pattern generally occurs when we attempt to use
our mind for two distinct tasks at one time.

t f x CollegePlus.org

Generally, we like to multitask because we as humans, have what I call Jackie Syndrome.
Currently, I am attempting to train my high strung puppy (Jackie) to stay in her bed at my
command. Shell sit there for a while, then grow restless. Eventually, her head will be on the
floor, her front paws will creep onto the carpet, and within a few minutes, only her hindquarters
remain in her bed.
Shell then shoot me a look as if to say Sure, most of me is on the floor, but Im technically still
in bed. What are you going to do about that? While we arent necessarily relegated to a doggy bed, we tend to multi-task so we can experience the best of both worlds. We think we can
leave our hind legs in the doggy bed and have the rest of the floor at our disposal. For example,
multi-tasking by watching TV while studying is a classic example of Jackie Syndrome.
Sure, technically were learning about family psychology, but watching The Brady Bunch while
studying is not going to help you learn much of anything. One fourth of our mind is devoted to
work, and the other three-fourths are on the carpet. And the one fourth of our brain devoted
to work is trying to figure out how it can get on the carpet as well.
According to researcher Zhen Wang in a lifehacker.com article, [People who multitask] are
not being more productivethey just feel more emotionally satisfied from their work.
Incidentally, you are much smarter than my puppy (she also thinks the toilet is a handy watering-hole), so be sure you are devoting your full mind to your work - 1/4th is not enough.
Research has shown that multitasking actually splits the brain as it frantically attempts to
switch rapidly back and forth between two activities.
A scene from one of my favorite classic TV shows, I
Love Lucy, demonstrates our loss of brain function as
we attempt to master two tasks at once. One evening,
Lucy, engrossed in a murder mystery, is mindlessly
dipping crackers into a jar of cheese sitting next to a
jar of cold cream on her night stand. As Lucy becomes
more deeply immersed in the storyline, the more distracted she gets and soon shes biting into a cracker
that had been dipped in the cold cream.
Multi-tasking is really just a productive sounding word for distraction.
So thats the bad news. Lets take a look at how we can turn the multitasking monster around.

t f x CollegePlus.org

Lifehacker offers some great ideas and I highly recommend the article I referenced above.

1) Purge your tab collection.

As we browse the internet, we tend to have 5-10 tabs open at any given time. My coworkers and
I frequently compare notes on precisely how many tabs we have open at a given time. The number can reach 30 or more! Its not unheard of to have 15 tabs open in 3 different web browsers!
Lifehacker recommends a one tab rule. Its simple. Only open one tab at a time in your web
browser. Admittedly, I find this a bit unrealistic. For example, as I work on an e book, I may
have a tab for my writing, one for an article Im using for research, and a third containing a relevant Google search. I am okay with stretching this rule a little bit, as all information is on the
same topic and ultimately boosts productivity.

2) Dont live out of your inbox.

This one is not easy for me either. While my personal email account would require a bulldozer
to clean out, I tend to leave my work account open at all times. At work, this destroys my productivity. Mid-project, I find myself becoming distracted by emails as soon as they pop into my
inbox.
Sometimes, they are important. Most often, its an announcement about a group lunch, a maintenance update to our servers, a blog post, or other information that can (and should) wait until
Ive wrapped up my current project. Instant email accessibility also allows anyone to interrupt
your workflow or studying at any point in time.
This rule also applies to text messages, phone calls, instant messaging services, etc. Whatever
will pull your focus off of the task at hand. It can wait.

3) Go off the grid every now and then.

We all need down time and focus time. Last week, in my scramble to make it out the door to
work, I accidentally left my phone sitting on the counter in my apartment. During the day, I
found myself reaching for my phone many times. I quickly became conscious of precisely how
many times my concentration was broken by the little buzzing box of distraction.
When I returned home to retrieve my precious communication device in the evening, I discovered the world did not fall apart in my absence. Sure, I had a plethora of messages, Facebook
notifications, and even a missed call. And they all waited for me. I was able to quickly reply and
catch up on life without missing a beat.

t f x CollegePlus.org

In fact, constant communication with others has only been viewed as necessary for about 13
years. Last night, I was watching a TV show filmed in the early 90s. In the episode, a couple
was discussing purchasing a car phone and they were laughing at the concept of always being
accessible to others. How far weve come in about 20 years! Little could the creators of the show
imagine theyd carry their email in their pocket as well! Our societys current level of connection
is rarely necessary. If you have a big project or huge studying goals - go off the grid for a bit.
Youll be fine. I promise.

4) Listen to music!
(Yes! Finally - something you ARE allowed to do) Music uses a different part of your brain than
other tasks, so you can still hear your favorite tunes while working on projects. Everyone has
a different preference when it comes to music and work. Some find it best to listen to lyricless
music, such as soundtracks, while focusing (especially studying or writing) while others find
that lyrics are not distracting.
For me, music helps me focus and tune out distractions. Additionally, it makes projects I dont
necessarily enjoy, like answering a mountain of email, more enjoyable. Have you exhausted
your iTunes playlist? To find discover new music for free, I recommend Spotify, Rdio, Pandora, and Songza. Each has their own loyalty base, so try them all until you discover your
favorite.

Procrastination Killer #7: Know your obstacles

When we begin any project, obstacles show up. Phones ring.
People get sick. Pots boil over. Life happens. Often our worst
enemy is ourselves, however, as an old cartoon quips:

t f x CollegePlus.org

The first step to identifying our obstacles is knowing ourselves. Generally, I am my own worst
distraction. Its human nature to sit down to work on an assignment, and notice all of the things
which went ignored before - an unmade bed, dishes in the sink, or a book thats waiting to be
read. When I am really avoiding a project, I find myself cleaning out my fridge, organizing files
on my hard drive, or flipping through a complete strangers wedding album on Facebook. I hate
cleaning out my fridge, but sometimes I just look for something to do merely to avoid the task
at hand.
On the other hand, some obstacles and interruptions are unavoidable, and completely legitimate. As a general rule, we spend a significant portion of our time eating, sleeping, and grooming. Sure, we can shorten the length of time we spend in these activities. But chances are, such a
lifestyle isnt sustainable. You can only go so long without a shower. When looking at our use of
time, sleep, eating, and personal hygiene will always comprise part of our day. Other activities
can be postponed or pared down.
Its important to carefully scrutinize any obstacles and determine which should be worked
around, and which should be eliminated. When working on a mammoth project a few years ago,
I found myself drowning in work. I tried waking up early, cutting some activities, and shortening my meal breaks to take care of the Herculean task. Try as I might, I was simply unable to
add hours to my day.
I was balancing work, another work project, a relationship, and spending time with my family... and I was exhausted. On the brink of tears, I poured out my woes to my dad. He sat back,
looked at me and said: Do your very best, and thats all you can do. Once youve done your
best, no one can expect any more from you.
This principle brings comfort when looking at obstacles to getting things done. Evaluate whats
in your way. Determine what can be changed, what cant, and how you will do your very best
inspite of both.

But...
Before sitting back, thumbs twiddling and thinking all is well, be sure the final work is indeed
the very best. Often, obstacles are less insurmountable than we assume them to be.
In 1887, a headstrong 20 year-old was assigned the impossible - teach a wild blind and deaf
girl to communicate and behave as a sighted child. Herself visually impaired, the young woman

t f x CollegePlus.org

must have been daunted by the challenge. The days were long and the results less than rapid.
Even basic rules of civility had been neglected. Her ward was inclined to wander from plate to
plate during dinner and help herself to the food of her family members.
No one would have blamed her for abandoning the dream or
settling for a handful of mediocre results. The teacher, however, was not one for accepting the comfortable solution. After
months of painful work, a breakthrough occurred - the word
water was understood. By her teen years, the wild child who
refused to sit civilly through dinner was a prolific communicator and writer. Through her determination to overcome obstacles, Anne Sullivan provided the gift of the world to Helen
Keller, and the world the gift of Helen Keller.
Sure, we arent all Anne Sullivan, but we are capable of completing the work God has set before us.

Procrastination Killer #8: Just start

Once youre aware of your obstacles and willing to work and overcome them, roll up your
sleeves and get started!
As Mary Poppins says: Well begun is half done. A surefire way to kill procrastination is simply
starting. TimeManagementNinja.com offers some tips, but here are a few to get you started.

1) Stop talking and start doing

THE WAY TO

Walt Disney points out: The way to get started is to quit

IS TO QUIT
TALKING AND
begin doing

talking and begin doing. There comes a point in any project where its time to stop talking and planning and start
doing. Even if youre not able to complete the project perfectly today. Do what you can, and make the most of it!
An elderly man lived in my neighborhood when I was a

him to start walking. At first, the man could barely shuffle

t f x CollegePlus.org

to his mailbox. Eventually, he was able to make it to the next mailbox on the street. He continued going to the next mailbox until he was able to walk laps up and down the street! It would
have been easy for him to make excuses. Instead, he got off the couch and took the first step.
Is a project overwhelming or daunting to you? Just take that first step, do what you can, and
keep pressing forward!

2) Start the day in an organized manner

Wake up 15 minutes earlier than you normally would and create a game plan for the day. Write
out what you would like to accomplish, and even include a few stretch goals - goals youd like
to reach if you knock out everything on your to do list.
Do you ever look at the clock to discover its noon and you havent done anything with your day
yet? Beginning the day with goals builds enthusiasm for the day and organizes your time.
Finally, determine a method of celebration once you complete your goals. It can be something
small like playing a game online, spending some time on Pinterest or it can be a something special - dessert, clothes, jewelry, a new gadget.

Procrastination Killer #9: Keep going

Once youve started, dont forget to keep going! We all hit obstacles and roadblocks, even when
we thought wed mapped them all out. Sometimes, we just dont feel like doing things. Getting
things done takes hard work, determination, organization, and the tenacity to keep going, even
when we dont feel like it.
Lets be honest. Laziness is natural. Most of us feel inclined to give up. The cure for laziness is
doing and producing. Its one thing to begin a project, but completion is an entirely different
story.
I love beginning projects! Theyre fresh, exciting and without mistakes. Unfortunately, my tendency is to begin projects and never complete them. My bookshelf is filled with partially read
and completely untouched books. Its exciting to begin then and exciting to complete them, but
the in-between part can get difficult.
In my own life, I discovered that my own insecurity prevented me from actually producing my

t f x CollegePlus.org

work. As a writer, Ive wanted to start a blog for years. However, I would sit down to type a post
and leave my computer with a blank page, or at best, only a few paragraphs on a template.
What prevented me from pushing the publish
button on any post? Insecurity. My mind was
flooded with what ifs what if my post isnt good
enough? what if I didnt catch every typo? what
if people judge me?. Finally, I decided to get over
my fears and just write. I sat down, created a post,
proof read, and published it. For better or worse.
Sure, someone will probably critique the post and
find mistakes. Im sure Ive included enough material to be judged for some reason. However. The piece is published, and Ive seen a bit of positive feedback so far. I just had to start somewhere.
Just start. Youll see success and failure. But, youll never go anywhere if you dont start.
And you have something you want to start. Whether its studying for a test, tackling a chore,
starting your own business or something in-between, procrastination is something thats holding you back from living full out.
So its time to kill procrastination and start pursuing your dreams and goals!
As a quick refresh, those 9 Procrastination Killers are

#1: Get organized!

#2: Flesh out your goal
#3: Share your goals with others
#4: Start small
#5: Be prepared
#6: Stop multitasking
#7: Know your obstacles.
#8: Just start
#9: Keep going

t f x CollegePlus.org

Probably the most important one is #3: Share your goals with others. Ive said this numerous
times, but having people there to hold you accountable to your goals is vitally important.
Think about the last time you told someone youd do something for them. Maybe you told
an older couple from church that you would help them with a cleaning project on a Saturday
morning at 8am. Chances are, you were on their doorstep at 7:59, ready to go. They were counting on you and you would let them down if you did arrive when you said you would.
What about when you tell yourself youre going to do something? Ill clean my closet today. How many times does it actually get done? If youre like me, it probably doesnt get done
super often. Some reason comes up and it seems it would be a
better idea to just do it tomorrow. Or next week.
But what if you told a friend on Friday night, Im going to
clean my closet tomorrow. Can you please call me at 10:00am
and ask me if I did? You would probably be more inclined
to finish it. No one likes to admit to a friend (no matter how
close) that they failed to do something.
Thats why we have coaches here at CollegePlus. A
coach who helps you set up those goals. Your coach
doesnt create your goals for you (thats your job!), but
your coach is the one who will send you that email or
give you that phone call in two weeks asking, So, did
you clean your closet? (Its more likely youll get asked
if you studied what you said you will, but hang with me
here.)
College is a big deal and a lot of work. It can be difficult to balance the perspective. You dont want to get
caught up in how monumental a task it will be to complete your degree when you only have one test to study
for. But at the same time, if all you do is think about which test youre currently on, then when
the going gets tough you might forget why youre studying for that test in the first place.

t f x CollegePlus.org

Chances are, its not all about just passing that Math test. Its about passing the math test to
earn your degree, so you can go on to live out Gods calling on your life.
Our coaches help you do that - balance both the short term and the long term goals you have.
By holding you accountable. Theyll help you kill the procrastination that will try tto creep in.
The same procrastination that will hold you back from doing all God created you to do.
