Procrastinators Unite Tomorrow

Are you a procrastinator like me? My husband has a shirt that says, "Procrastinators unite tomorrow." I think it is the funniest thing, but I also think it's sad because I'm guilty! I'm usually a go-getter and hate things sitting around not getting done. Normally, I see what needs to be done around the house and get it done. I tolerate some chores and enjoy others. However, if there are things I absolutely can't stand doing, I'll let them wait...and wait...and wait. I won't do them! I'll let them sit sometimes for months before getting them done. While I'm not a procrastinator to that extent at work, during my last performance review, certain things were brought to my attention such that my procrastination techniques had come to the surface. I was very concerned and made the changes necessary so procrastination at work is non-existent. Have you had any similar situations at home, at work, or any time in general? Please share your experiences with procrastination, even if you're not the procrastinator.

I am definitely one hundred and ten percent procrastinator and so is my wife which makes it hard to get things done around here,and I think that shirt sounds funny even though it is true about a lot of people,and I have never procrastinated at work thankfully but I procrastinate at home a lot,and my mother is always telling me to do things and I tell her I will do it later,or she tells me to decide something and I say I will think about it,which annoys her because it takes me forever to do something or decide something,even though me and my wife are both working on it and trying to do things right away instead of putting them off and acting like we are waiting on Christmas lol.

It's very disappointing, but my husband and I are both this way...in some areas. Sometimes I'll get going and get things done, but the things I don't favor will sit, and sit, and sit, and not get done. While my procrastinating drives me mad, I still wait, and wait, and wait just because I'm not looking forward to whatever I have to get done. However, once I get it done, I'm forever grateful I finally buckled down to do it!
