Procrastinator- (noun) a person who habitually puts off doing things.

When it comes to my 9-5 job, I have a to-do list and set deadlines to get them done. I will even take work home to meet the deadline. I think it is because I know that I have to complete my work to pay my bills.  Besides, I am very driven when it comes to my job, and I refuse to let my boss or myself down in the process.

Then I come home, and all that drive and motivation goes out the window. If you remember in the first post of the year, I said I was going to write a blog twice a week, and that was only three months ago. As of today, I only have posted two other times, and today is May 2.

Ever since I was a kid, I was told I am a dreamer, and I need to focus more. But at the same time, I crave structure and organization and the need to feel accomplished.  I have all these grand ideas not just with my personal life, but also things that I need to get done in my home. If I don’t complete them, I beat myself up and look at myself as a failure, and I will begin to procrastinate again.  I will actually talk myself out of things, and I have to know idea of why I do it.

This month of May, I am challenging myself to start new habits and stick to them and not fall back into the old saying there is always tomorrow. I once had an amazing optimistic Uncle who would always have the next great idea, but he would never do it because his answer was, “there is always tomorrow.”

Today is the day!
