“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

How PH’s Hybrid Rice Companies Can Increase Their Sales – But Do Farmers Have To Spray All Those Pesticides!?

Image
First, let me be clear: I am in favor of hybrid rice as a good part of the solution for the Philippines to attain rice self-sufficiency – I hope this year, 2021. I have already written about it; try “How Good Are Hybrid Rices In The Philippines [1] ?” (06 January 2021, BraveNewWorld@PH ) Today, Sunday, 10 January 2021, browsing on Facebook, I notice that the hybrid rice companies in my country are not minding their own business! I mean, they are not actively assisting the farmers taking care of their plantings. I found that out when on Facebook, I scanned the page “Usapang Hybrid Rice” (Talking Hybrid Rice), “Group by Tatang Juan” (above, top image). At this Facebook page, I read the entries and noticed that the farmers’ questions, answers and comments seemed innocent – but they were not. It has something to do with this: The hybrid rice companies in the Philippines are not providing adequate advice and information to farmers. And that is not good – it may even be dangerous. Her

“Healthy Foods Come From Healthy Farms” – Frank A Hilario

Food crops destroyed by floods, forests destroyed by fires – what other signs do you want from the Heavens Above? God! “Good comes from Good” says Webstaurant Store – only healthy farming can bring healthy fields and homes! (“Good Comes” image from webstaurantstore.com , “Whatever good” from brainyquote.com ) “Climate Change“ is forcing us to redefine “Primate Change“ and I, Agriculturist and writer engaged in what today I call “Communication for Village Development in the 21st Century” (CoViD21) in the last 42 years – now preach Regenerative Agriculture (RA) in the villages. Primates, only RA will save us from climate change! That is a CoViD21 action/reaction from my BSA Ag Edu, UP Los Baños, 1965 and continuing self-study with the advent of the Internet in PH in 1991. Wide thoughts come from wide reading. Here now is my considered definition: Regenerative Agriculture is any principle, process, procedure, or practice applied that repeatedly returns, revives, resuscitates, o

01, Less Is More – How PhilRice Can Reduce A Rice Farmer’s Total Expenses By 51%!

Image
This essay arose from several Facebook comments on my earlier essay “07, The More The Merrier – P 1B From DA Supportive Of 10 Bataan Model Farms Leading PH Agriculture [1] ” (21 February 2021, BrainScapes ). This is my comment in that essay that readers mainly commented on: I don’t know why, but 60-year old foreign-funded IRRI and 35-year-old PH-funded PhilRice have advocated neither high-value crops (HVCs) after rice nor fertigation, when these technologies are not that new. Joy Duldulao said: “ PhilRice advocates HVCs thru its Palayamanan and FutureRice programs.” Eufemio Rasco replied: “ PhilRice should not limit itself to advocacy. Advocacy is for those who don’t have the resources. Show by example how the challenge of scaling up can be done in its own farms! Mainstream Palayamanan!” Roberto Acosta said: “ Joy Duldulao, maybe it’s high time to change the success measurement matrix of PhilRice – from increasing rice yield to increasing rice farmers' income and better lives
