Hello Reader,

Are you a procrastinator? Has it changed over time? Like maybe you used to be a procrastinator, and now you’re not, or you weren’t, but now you are?
I am not a procrastinator. I like to do things well in advance, and then not have to stress and worry over deadlines. One of the reasons I need to do this, is otherwise I will forget about it! And…. I’m a very visual person. So if I walk past something and see it, then I need to take care of it then, because if I don’t walk past it again until much later– well, then it will be annoying to see that I forgot about it. And the older I get…. the more forgetful I am!

Now, I do still procrastinate about certain things— like cleaning the bathroom or the kitchen floor. Pretty much cleaning anything…… And I prefer to do actual physical tasks, (like laundry!) than computer or digital tasks like photo organization. Do you know anyone else who doesn’t mind doing laundry? I’m always hearing about people who hate to do mounds of laundry—- but I don’t have mounds because I manage mine…. and by manage, I mean— my whole family helps take care of their laundry. I don’t fold or put anyone else’s laundry away but my own, and the towels. And a year or so ago, I started having my teens wash their own laundry, too.

I think some people think they are procrastinating, when really they have changed in what they like to spend their time on. So instead of labeling it procrastinating, they can admit that they simply don’t like doing something anymore, and now they like doing other things instead.

Back to the procrastinating topic– it makes me happy when I see my kids NOT procrastinate in their chores or instrument practice. It just seems natural for kids to want to procrastinate in their daily chores, doesn’t it? And then it shows some growth and maturity when they stop procrastinating and take some initiative.

Well until next time…..
