Maybe you have a difficult time getting back up off the floor like me. Just have something nearby to help pull yourself back up. It will be worth it. :)<br /><br />One thing that I want to get done before my final alarm goes off is to get our genealogical records into a form that our children can work with. I have notes and files all over the place that don't make sense to anyone but me, and not always me!<br /><br />Sometimes I procrastinate. There are just too many potentially fun distraction around and it makes the have tos more of a chore, so I put them off. But, most of the time I want to get those out of the way so that I don't feel guilty about doing the fun things.<br /><br />Reading and family history research and photographing flowers are my favorite distractions.<br /><br />Have a blessed night.Suzanne McClendonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15563562309945754772noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-149224757183756660.post-37277196152695222312017-04-06T19:37:14.757-07:002017-04-06T19:37:14.757-07:00Yup, I procrastinate...I still have to write more ...Yup, I procrastinate...I still have to write more posts!

Heck, if I could toss something together the night before it was due and get an A, why start early?<br /><br />I think this grew into adult procrastination that has haunted me most of my life. Now that I'm in my third age (tercera edad, as the Spanish say), my memory is much worse. I struggle to stay on top of things. So procrastination can be harder to deal with.<br /><br />But what the heck, I'll think about that tomorrow. ;)<br /><br />DB McNicol, author & traveler<br />Theme: Oh, the places we will go!<br />http://dbmcnicol.blogspot.com/2017/04/atozchallenge-E.htmlDonna B.

Take for example this A to Z challenge. This is the 4th or 5th year I've been doing it. I know I should prepost, I know that it takes a lot of time... and yet, here it is... again, and I haven't preposted, and now I am in it, and thinking darn, if I had preposted, I'd have more time to blog hop! However, the good thing is that I know that the hardest thing is picking a post for each day, and so that part is done, and I'm keeping it short and simple by focusing on photos instead of 2 pages of text. Still yet, it's the 11th hour! <a href="http://www.mauijungalow.com/" rel="nofollow">Maui Jungalow</a> Courtneyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05292408696265388415noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-149224757183756660.post-79048629060897480972017-04-06T12:09:52.147-07:002017-04-06T12:09:52.147-07:00I'm a major procrastinator!

At least I'm better than some former classmates. I once shocked the people in my group in a class when I said I only had the concluding paragraph of a 5-page paper left to write, instead of only starting it that last-minute. Not only that, but I'd had to change the typeface so I wouldn't go over five pages!<br /><br />I want to travel to a lot more countries before I pass over. I've only gone outside the U.S. for three trips to Israel, and haven't even been to all 50 states.

But for me, it's not to play with them, it's part of a collection. Or so I tell myself. Models of ships from Star Wars or Doctor Who. Not something to play with, but something to put on a shelf for display and look at. Okay, an occasional pose for Instagram. But never to play with. Honest. ;)<br /><br />The 11th hour and procrastination. At least I don't have that problem. Now I should probably start thinking about doing some posts for the A-Z month.
