I need you to help me do an exorcism.
One of the first steps in an exorcism is to name the spirit, to call it out. Naming a thing gives you dominion over it, and today we are going to call a thing a thing. That spirit is procrastination.
Procrastination is a spiritual disease because it interrupts the natural movement of ase. It creates delay, slows the current of destiny, clouds the mind, and weakens the will. It keeps you from trusting yourself, and over time, it even damages how much others can trust you.
Scripture teaches us that “To everything there is a season, and a time for every purpose under heaven” (Ecclesiastes 3:1). When we allow procrastination to steal our time, we miss the appointed moment, and once a season has passed, it cannot be reclaimed.
In daily life, procrastination shows up as postponing what you know must be done. Tasks and decisions pile up, creating a heaviness that feeds guilt and frustration. That weight builds and becomes an obstacle to discipline and consistency.
Our own tradition reminds us of this truth. In the stories of Ifa, again and again, we hear of a person who receives guidance through divination. They are told to make changes, to adjust their behavior, and to perform the proper sacrifice. When they follow through, blessings pour down like rain. But when they refuse, the result is disappointment, difficulty, and calamity.
Procrastination robs evolution by holding back the steps that shape destiny. Progress depends on steady action, because each movement forward strengthens ase and clears the path. Procrastination steals time, drains energy, and breaks rhythm.
The cure begins with recognition and the choice to move. Even a small step clears space, restores balance, and allows ase to flow again.
