Certainly, a wise way of looking at tasks as meditative and an effective remedy for procrastination. Currently, I'm in a growth phase of "I wish I had known that sooner." So I wish I had this shift in perspective two decades ago. That's okay, though, I will begin implementing it today years old. Better late than never. Thank you for sharing this perspective.
Yes indeed, it's a great way to help us deal with procrastination, by developing a 'get on with it' mindset, but it is also a good way to bring us to a state of presence, focus and stillness of mind - meditative, as you have just mentioned.
Your growth phase of "I wish I knew this sooner" made me smile. As we become older, we certainly become wiser. I am still amazed how many times, even now, I stop and think, "That all makes sense now, but why the hell didn't I see that before?" 🙂
Thanks Roy. It’s ‘doing’ while being present, and with being clouded with thoughts or negative emotions. I get totally what you mean by practices like Karate, Yoga and Tai Chi, which all have a distinct spiritual aspect to them
Thanks Ilham. It's an important - often a few times a day - practice for me.
It's funny how something relatively mundane can be turned into a opportunity to reinforce a value, that can in itself have a big impact on the way in which we deal with our lives.

A beautiful way to meditate and still the procrastinator in us Peter.
I also use home chores to «disconnect» and focus.
This is also the beauty of yoga, tai chi and karate.
The option to fully immerse oneself in the pattern of the movements in the different forms by simply doing them.

I find it impressive how you were able to turn a tedious chore into a mindfulness practice. Well-done!
Absolutely love Sir Roger’s perspective on this. Simple yet impactful.

Sir Roger Carr is great too! An incredible mind.
