If-then logics represent the framework of all rituals, accompanied by fixed rules, which we follow in the autopilot. The intensity and duration is not decisive, whether mystical full moon dances or the cup of coffee in the morning. We let ourselves be guided and gladly give ourselves to the rhythmic sequence. The devote participation helps to rouse thoughts and bring feelings into a predictable context - the ritual as a DNA plan of our identity and the all-purpose weapon of the daily madness. So head out, hold on to me and bring me home safely.

Creative and artistic production is also based on rituals: daily reading, e-mail processing, the choreography of the vernissage visit, escalation and retreat. And, in the first place, the continual working on death lines, often even several at the same time. Warriors and combative vocabulary, which we go through systematically and constantly confronted us with the same thoughts, let us not cross the line.

Waiting until we are in the right mood to accomplish tasks, no knowledge how a beginning can look. The experience shows, under pressure, we work best. Therefore, we postpone everything later. Extreme postponement is a work disorder that occurs particularly in people who work in self-responsibility and can only complete tasks with enormous time pressure. Welcome to the Prokrasti Nation.

Perhaps, however, the ritual of postponing may be understood in the idea of ​​spiritual waiting. A privileged moment of rest, which we consciously put to fuel energy and which follows the lust for lustlessness.
