I honestly think that procrastination is my greatest skill. Coupled with my forgetfulness, I have a hard time getting loose ends tied up on a lot of things. I have a list that has been growing and growing lately, and I really need to tackle it pronto. Looking at the calendar, I can see that our next holidays are rapidly approaching (yay!) so my goal is to have most things done by then.
I don't know why I am such a procrastinator. It has gotten me in a lot of trouble in the past, so why I haven't learned from it and changed my ways, I really can't tell you. I think deep down, a part of me thinks that things always work out, so I don't stress about it. Not a good philosophy, really.
Even in school, I usually left studying, presentations and papers until the night before. I have been known to actually leave them until the morning of as well, and get up super early and just crank them out. I work well under pressure! I once even completed a learning plan in the car on the way to my practicum in the Crowsnest Pass (as an aside, my instructor asked to retain a copy as an example for future students!).
My lazy ways are beginning to affect Abby though, so that just wont do. Today I resolved to check some things off of my list like get an appointment to set up her RESPs (I know, we are terrible parents that we haven't yet!), set up a bank account for her, call about something for our taxes, do thank you cards for her baptism (done!). I have no excuses as to why any of that cannot be at least started today , so off we go!
