I admit it,
I'm the "Queen" of it.
I hate it,
especially when it gets to the final moment.
And that's where I am today.
I generally schedule all medical test
in January
so that I can have them over
for the year and not look back.
That works fairly well for me.
The doctor's office
gives me a set appointment
and I generally don't reschedule - too much.
But today is the last day of January
and
Virginia requires all vehicles
to be inspected
one time a year.
And
all
of
our
vehicles
have
a
big
old
1
right on the front windshield.
So,
I'll be there,
with a bunch of
tobacco-chewing old men,
sitting in the garage,
waiting,
knitting,
waiting,
knitting,
waiting
for my truck to pass inspection.
There are a few
words and phrases
that I would like to eliminate
from my vocabulary -
take a rain-check,
dawdle,
put off
postpone -
well you get the picture.

procrastinate less.

My motto seems to be "there's always tomorrow". Then I kick myself when I have to do things at the last minute - things that I could have done sooner. Oh well, guess there are a lot of procrastinators out there, so you're not alone. Welcome to the club!!

I procrastinate way too much myself. Something I have tried to break myself of time and time again.
ReplyDeleteI carry a datebook in my purse and honestly its main function is lists that I can cross off.
ReplyDeleteI am not a procrastinator for most things, and I do live by lists. Without my list, I am lost.
ReplyDeleteWhen we lived in MA, we had twice a year vehicle inspections, that may have changed. But here in KS we have NONE except at the point of sale. I guess I am happy that is one less thing to do, but it does make one wonder about the safety of a lot of cars on the road.
Hah! Had a pad of post-its that said, "If it weren't for the last minute, I wouldn't get anything done!" So I can relate completely! Seems like so much gets in the way of things we promise ourselves we'll do on ______. (this date!) So understand!
