i will do it later

Oh! My son is very fond of saying "later mom!" And i really hate it. I want him to do it right away. I did before with my mom coz she was just too strict and if you don't answer her with a mom at the end of your sentence, watch out for more berating. I think i'm being too lenient with my son as he's an only child....FOR NOW.

Hi Dina We are in same boat, i do things in right moment, this i learnt from my parents as a kid, that habit continues, we have trained our kids and grandkids same way.. Thanks for sharing Best of luck. Professor

I remember when i was a kid,i always do the same as you did and say the same as you.I always keeping saying that i know and something like that but doesn't put it into action.LOL.This might be something cute as child,but as now,i would never do that.

I remember my childhood days, I'm always like that and it drives my mother mad I guess most kids don't want to get interrupted when they are busy...playing

There are times that my "laziness" get the best of me. Admittedly, I am always at war with myself when I am on this situation. Perhaps because a lot of things are basically popping all in the same time. Thus I'm pressured to choose task in priority mode. But more often than not, I usually am able to finish whatever it is that I plan to do beforehand.

It's better to say you won't do something, and then do it, than to say you will, and not do it. I'm afraid I put off things I could do now but don't want to. I should be doing my bookkeeping now instead of getting better acquained with MyLot. I'd always rather write than do bookkeeping or housework. Since I'm my own boss, I alone suffer the the consequences of procrasination in my business life. It's also getting harder to jump up and do household chores. Perhaps I'm just slowing down because I'm getting older now. My solution is to make myself do things that are urgent and will cause me financial problems if I leave them undone. I allow myself to put off things that aren't as urgent until I feel more up to doing them or until they are urgent and I must do them. The reason is that some days I can whiz through the bookkeeping or I feel in the mood to cook something out of the ordinary, and on those days, the chores get done faster than if I'm making myself do them when I don't feel like it. Some days I really need to write and others I may have writers' block. It's not a great use of time to try to write something I don't need to when I've got writers' block, but it's a great time to work in the garden. I am careful now to avoid making commitments that I know I won't want to follow through on, because I know if I've given my word, I need to keep it.

yes i tend to do this especially when i was in my teens! hahaha it would often make my parents furious at me. But of course times have changed.. i grew up and learned that it is better to do it right away rather than have the work piled up!

Sometimes, putting things off is common to everyone I think. Sometimes we dread something and put it off. I find when I do things in a timely manner I feel so much better about myself.
