 First, Welcome Blythe and Kaiki! Glad to have you here with us.
 
 From Harshasatsangh list, on Procrastination...

Hello tg, Blythe and Kaiki,
  Let me join tg in welcoming Blythe and Kaiki (hey, l love your name!)
to the list. Blythe, for quieting mind chatter, l always thought my old
vipassana meditation practice worked quite well -- l would simply observe
the passing thoughts with mindfulness and equanimity -- one can also use
labeling as one observes the steam of thoughts flow by, saying simply
"thinking" or one can be more specific in labeling if one chooses. The
thoughts won't necessarily stop, but they'll slow down with time and should
be much less intrusive as a result of being objects of meditation.

As a result of k energy problems l had to discontinue my meditation practice
years ago. lt was only after reading this delightful post by tg about
procrastinational meditation that l realized that l've still been doing a
spiritual practice all along! Since phasing down my law practice a few years
ago l can't believe how good l've become at this practice, often commenting
to envious friends that l don't know how l ever found time to work! l've been
pretty frustrated with my laziness, quite honestly, but after reading tg's
post l'm feeling much better. :)
