Putting it off (and off. and off)
Do you get most-loathed tasks out of the way first or do you push them to the back of the queue? I used to tackle them first, but recently I've found myself turning to that irritating practice known as procrastination. This seems particularly evident when it comes to anything involving housework. Cooking tasks also suffer, unless they are baking-related. Writing tasks win favor, but only if they are writing tasks that do not involve looming deadlines. Is this some form of latent teenage angst or unspent rebellion, left to smoulder until I was past the age of the average mid-life crisis? Is it that curious thing known as aging? Is it late-onset laziness? Whatever the cause, I'd better work on a speedy remedy. We're rapidly approaching the run-up to Labor Day and that means we're getting close to the the beginning of the early holiday season rush. If I don't get a handle on this whole thing soon I'll end up looking for Santa and the elves in all the wrong places along about March 10.
