Procrastination

I must admit, I was really suprised by the number of responses to my post about character flaws. I didn’t reallly think anyone would comment. As mentioned, a big one for me is procrastination.

Being a typical Aquarian, I tend to be free spirited. I detest having my daily life tied to a strict schedule. It’s no surprise, I have a hard time getting menial tasks done. Oh I’m good about scheduling to do it. I just never seem to get around to it at the time alotted. Throw in my crazy schedule and I’m amazed anything ever gets done. For example, take the entertainment center I bought back in July. It’s still sitting in boxes on the living floor. Why you ask? Because, I keep putting off the painting bids for the living room. It doesn’t make any sense to put it together until the walls are painted. So there it sits. Arrrrgggggghhh!

The good news is I finally started working on bids for the paint job. I emailed out two just today (Oddly enough, right before this post). And since the roomie and I differ on our cleaning styles, I’m also getting quotes on maid service. I could blame it on being lazy but I’m too busy to be lazy. You’d think being this way, I’d be late a lot. The irony is I’m rarely late. I don’t like it when my time is wasted so I make a conscious effort to not do the same to others. But I’m digressing. While I finally got on the paint bids, it serves as a good example for my shortcoming. One that I recognize and am working on. I guess that’s all anyone could ever ask.
