“Procrastination Is The Thief Of Time” – Edward Young, British Poet & Dramatist. “Procrastination Is The Chef Of Thoughts!” – Frank A Hilario, Filipino Blogger For Agriculture

British Poet Mr Young warns you not to procrastinate.
Filipino Blogger Mr Hilario wants you to procrastinate!

To procrastinateis “to put off doing something, especially out of habitual carelessness or laziness[1]” (thefreedictionary.com). Above, look at the map/island of Procrastination in the Facebook post of Bruce Tolentino(graphic by Gemma Correll, Evernote.)

I am the world’s fastest blogger and the most prolific in Agriculture. A “River of Excuses” runs through Procrastination Island. I love it! It is the secret of my creativity.

Procrastination is postponing an act. As a creative writer, I always do that – I do not write continuously. Along the way, many Procrastination moments I make. A Procrastination moment pays in terms of a creative idea or two.

Procrastination is searching for more materials even if you are not in doubt. You need the thoughts of others if you want to be more creative than you already are.

Yes, Procrastination is doing something else other than writing. Like washing a pair of socks. Then you return with fresh ideas.

Yes, Procrastination is watching TV, or Facebook, when you should be writing. When you go back to your writing, your thinking is different.  

Yes, Procrastination is playing games on TV or the computer. When it’s Game Over, your mind is fresh to continue your Game of Writing!

Yes, Procrastination is the Thief of Time. Precisely! That is the Idea! Let it steal your time. When it’s over, you’re more energized!

Yes, Procrastination is distracting yourself by any means necessary. When you recover your sense of purpose, your mind is now ready and rich with other ideas.

Yes, Procrastination is coffee breaks. I love coffee breaks! My favorite is steaming hot coffee – ouch! Too hot. (Nescafe Brown.)

Procrastination is visiting your clothes cabinet and trying to find out where did you put your facemask last? Your frustration will pay for itself in distracting you from writing – when you go back to it, you have other ideas in mind. That’s creativity.

Yes, Procrastination is daydreaming.

Yes, Procrastination is online shopping.

Yes, Procrastination is thinking of the good things you want to do. And not do it. Yet.

Yes, Procrastination is being afraid of monsters. The ones your mind is able to concoct without any reason at all.

Yes, Procrastination is being afraid of the unknown.

Yes, Procrastination is napping. Just lying down and doing nothing is good for the body – you look at the ceiling and you will see something else. Good for thinking!

Yes, Procrastination is visiting the social media forest. I visit my Gmail quickly and then browse for long on Facebook, reading and reading and reading – until a thought strikes me. That’s me urging Serendipity to appear, and it almost always does.

For Unbelievable Creativity, try Procrastination sometimes! Procrastination is the Thief of Time. Exactly! Chef of Thoughts. Believe me. Frank A Hilario is the world’s most creative blogger alive, and he speaks from His Experience of Procrastination!@517

Knorr Of Big Business Unilever Thinks Big Business Regenerative Agriculture – My Tiny Country PH Also Should!

Image
“Knorr’s plan for 50 regenerative agriculture projects is predicted to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and water use by an estimated 30% while improving biodiversity, soil health and livelihoods.” That is regenerative agriculture (RA) news by Julian Cirineo (05 Nov 2021, “Unilever Wants To Rethink How Farms Work To Secure Food And Resources For The Future,” Rappler , rappler.com ). Note: 50 (not 5 only) RA projects to improve greenhouse gas emissions (GHGs) and water use by 30% – plus improving biodiversity, soil health and livelihoods. Note the last 7 words in the above paragraph. How can RA improve biodiversity? RA requires that the farmer practices multiculture (a few or many crops grown at the same time in the same place), where monoculture (such as rice-only or corn-only) is the practice – the biodiversity improves crop health because of the ensuing balance of nature, such as some organisms feed on other organisms that would otherwise become pests or cause diseases. RA is your

In Looking At The Crown Of Thorns, I Found The Clowns

We could use a surprise sense of humor!  Yes, especially on the wide problematic fields of Agriculture. There was this news that some high PH government officials wanted to probe Vice President Leni Robredo for “competing against” PH agencies in providing much-needed assistances during this coronavirus lockdown, and Marigs Laririt shared a picture-story on Facebook quoting Ms Leni as saying, “I didn’t know it was competition. I didn’t see any competitors!” Ms Marigs says, “Ay, parang friends ko kung sumagot si Mam.” (Ay, with Mam, it’s just like my friends answering back.) That is a two-handed backslap, and you can imagine the lady laughing! She is the humor-monger; they are the clowns. Today is Friday, 03 April 2020 and in one account ( Wikipedia ), Friday the 3 rd of April was crucifixion of Jesus and his crowning of thorns [1] . (images: Crown of Thorns [2]  from St Anthony Messenger , 1 st clown [3]  from The Guardian , 2 nd clown [4]  from Shutterstock ) About the living clowns I

“Natural Farming” – Aggie Journalists, We Must Be Careful With The Terms We Use!

Image
Look at the contrasting images: Which one is correct in claiming what is being practiced is “natural farming”? Top Image: This one accompanies the Anonymous WWF-Philippines story, “Mindanao Farmers Start Off the Year with Natural Farming Systems Technology” published online December 2019 [1] . The World Wide Fund, WWF, is a very credible international source of knowledge on conservation, right? Not this time. Very clearly, you can see the white plastic mulch covering the furrows and bare soil in-between them. Mr or Ms Anonymous, the plastic mulch is not natural. The soil not covered in-between furrows is not natural. So much soil bare, not natural, allowing so much natural water wasted because it had evaporated from the unprotected, hot soil surface! That is not conservation; that is not natural. The term “natural” is used here very carelessly . Aggie journalists, wake up! How come I noticed all that immediately when I saw the photograph? Because I learned my organic farming more t
