When it comes to putting things off, I am the queen of procrastination. I am so bad that my father says I am the biggest one he knows! Why do people procrastinate? I do it because, I cannot be bothered doing it whenever it should be done. Now, I have a pile of laundry that needs to be done, another pile of laundry that needs to be ironed, dishes that need to be washed, floors that need to be vacuumed, furniture that needs to be dusted, articles that need to be written and a child that needs to be fed. That is only for starters. I find that I get side tracked very easily so, I am hoping that a little motivation will come my way so that I don’t have to worry about these things that I need to do. It is like watching a telephone that you are waiting for a call...it never rings.

I am good with the excuses not to do things but, now I am finding out that my son has picked up this horrendous habit. I can’t say anything to him because that would make me a hypocrite. I don’t like double standards. So, now I find myself making a to-do list of things that need to be done and I think that I will be making him one as well.

So, the next time I find myself procrastinating, I will stop and think what a bad habit I am teaching my son.
