1. Good going.

Sometimes, it seems, our subconscious knows better than our conscious mind.

This kind of thing happens to me pretty often. Umm...not the saving of doggies...but procrastinating, berating myself about it, and then finding out later that I was in tune after all.

An example: maybe I am supposed to meet someone somewhere, or do something for them. I can find myself unable to get going...berate myself over it...only to have the person call me and say that they can't make it, or that whatever I was supposed to do for them isn't happening after all. In some cases I have called to apologize and see about rescheduling, only to have them tell me that the event could not have happened after all.

When this kind of procrastination experience happens, I often feel a sense of resistance, like trying to wade through molasses, or something...a mysterious sense of resistance.

I tend to hate myself when I procrastinate...but sometimes it saves time, money, and bother.

And sometimes, it puts us in the right place at the right time...like you being there to help the poor panicked dog.
