I will admit that I do this every day, and sadly my house looks like it! I have such a long list between taking care of my 16 month old son, doing what my mom needs done (she is disabled and living with us), and the house, and working on making a living online. It i a lot of work!

I am not a procrastinator. I like to get things done "now". My husband is though. I think that is why we get along so well. Together, we get things done on time.

My dear old Dad once told me "don't do today what you can put off until tomorrow"...it's not a good way of thinking but I never forgot it and lol....it's the way I am! I have the least motivation of anyone I have ever met and to be honest with you I hate it. My problem is that sometimes tomorrow never comes and I get myself into quite a mess. This is something I've been working on changing for years but not doing too well on!

thats me all the way! LOL except my husband is the one that tells me that... " dont do today what you can put off until tomorrow" he works all day & night and i stay home with our daughter and soon to be babies... =) and there are days that i will be like sorry hun i know the laundry is over flowing or i know i know theres a mess of papers on the table and i will make up a reason for it just because thats who i am and he will say "dont even worry about it! there is always tomorrow!" lol and that stinks because sometimes i wish he would just say "hey your home all day clean up! would ya?" lol but hes too sweet to do so... thank you for your resoponse

Yea I do... mostly it is about school. Studying is really boring for me so I always say "I will do it tommorow", "I am too tired now", "maybe later" etc. I know we should do our obligations first but I am lazy so I always use this excuses.

Hey,my friend.Most people will do it like you,always put today's thing off tomorrow.I do sometimes,when I am so tired I become very very lazy,don't want to wash my face and feets before I go to bed.The habit is the one they usually do,if you want to have a change,you should have enough patience,then you can have a good one.hehe,I think the inertia is the instinct of man.

I know what you mean I am a huge procrastinator to. I have so many projects to do and I am a stay home mom. so I know I have the time, I just fill it with computer time on here and sometimes reading. my problem is I have "ADD" which I am not on any medicine right now, and the problem with that is I have no focus, I used to and till i stopped taking my medicine. but I had to cause they were giving me insomnia every day, and high blood pressure. So know i am trying to get around to buying me some herbal pills for my brain to be better. I hope to do this today and try to get to feeling better soon.
