I would have to say procrastination is definitely one of my top habits I would like to break. One aspect I try to keep in mind regarding this issue, is that I can sit there and worry about it and put it off, and put it off, and then at the last minute try to rush and get "it" done (whatever "it" may be). Unfortunately, this usually leads to me overlooking certain things, and generally I dont feel as accomplished - even if/when I do get it done - as I do when I stay on top of the task. For instance, something as simple as doing laundry....ugh! It seems like such a daunting task, and in all honesty, once I actually finish, I feel good about it, and typically it didnt take near as long as I had presumed it would! Not to mention, it's nice being able to go to a drawer and take out clean, unwrinkled clothing, versus having to search the house up and down, only to find that what I was looking for is dirty, or sitting in a basket of clean clothes which are all wrinkled from sitting in there. Also, with two young children, if I do wait to long to do the laundry, one load somehow turns into what seems like 10, and it really just creates more work which in turn becomes an overwhelming feat, whereas if I stay on top of the chore it is merely a simple task! Procrastination causes much unnecessary stress, and turns one simple task into a very large one, or multipe tasks.
Need my coffee!
