I should have known when I wrote my list of 101 things to do in 1001 days that it wouldn't work so well for me. At least not until I am down to about 30 days. Although I am one of the most organized people I know, I am a HUGE procrastinator and somehow work extremely well under pressure. It is weird, but I seem to go through life completely stressed out of my mind, but if I am not under the gun, I am completely unproductive. You give me a day with nothing planned and that is just what I will do...nothing!
Some of my goals are in progress as far as trips we want to take, but it is a matter of timing and money. Some of my goals like house remodeling are waiting for us to hit the lottery. My personal goals, like stopping swearing are something that I have to wait for the day that it embarrasses me that I said something in front of someone and I get hit up the head by a 2x4. As I write this, I am thinking to myself how dumb that sounds. If I want to change something, why don't I just change it. I guess I am like an alcoholic in the sense that I haven't hit "rock bottom" with some of my habits.
Anyways, I have the list posted. I see it daily and I know it needs to be worked on. And I am sure it will be...in 900+ days. :)

Girl, this would be the perfect opportunity to nip your procrastinating habit in the bud. If you do one goal every 10 days, you'll do them all in 1001 days.
Maybe that would light a fire under you? Set yourself up to do a goal every 10 days to succeed. I am naturally the same way...I work better under pressure. But I'm sick of feeling stressed all the time, so I've determined to do things way early in stead of way late. Try it!!!
I'm laughing at you (or is that with you?). Don't even get me started on procrastination. Being mom and dad sometimes makes it easier to keep bad habbits. Shh, don't tell anyone I said that. Good luck with that list..let me know when you win the lottery. ;)
