Granted, part of the issue is that I am an expert procrastinator. I often find myself putting off tasks until the last moment and then completing them in a feverish whirlwind of productivity. The problem is that, not only has this paid off for me time and again, there have often been times that I have discovered that the task itself had changed or had become unneeded. Thus, my procrastination has saved me from piles of unnecessary work. Even worse, there have been multiple times that I have taken the initiate to be proactive only to have that preparation go to waste.
Well, there are a few things this weekend for which the clock is ticking down as they have already been put off for a bit. Unfortunately, there is a part of my mind that is bargaining with me with the argument that "ticking down" does not mean "out of time." It's also saying things like "You need more rest" and "You need to take more time for yourself" along with the classic "How important is it in the grand scheme of things?"
… We won't talk about the part of me that says that I've "earned that donut."
