Action is the Magic Word

That's something my mother used to say. Here's what Benjamin Disraeli had to say on the subject: Action may not always bring happiness; but there is no happiness without action.

I've been having a serious problem with procrastination lately. Whenever I think about the chores that I'm not doing, I feel really bad. But when I take myself in hand and actually dig into them, it's not so bad. And I feel much better as I actually get stuff done.

There has to be some reason that I hang back from my duties despite the emotional unpleasantness it causes. And some reason why I keep forgetting how much better it feels to dig in and dig out. It's a puzzlement to me.
