Its called "Procrastination" defined as - putting off or delaying to a later time, sometimes not making it around to it or ever doing it.
I hate to admit the fact, but I am definitely a procrastinator, I wait until I absolutely have to do something, when I have no other choice but to get it done. Usually it is stuff, that I don't want to do very much or things I don't enjoy. The only way I have gotton myself to be better at it, is to keep telling myself everyday, "I am not going to wait" and then I just make myself do it, you will be surprised on how much better it makes you feel, when you do have it done, its out of the way and you don't have to worry about it anymore. One other way is to make a list of the things I need to do on a daily bases, and don't quit until the list is finished. A bad thing about it, most other people don't like procrastinators, because usually they are the ones waiting on something! Good luck and just do it, take care!

I hate housework, laundry, and all those other duties a mother is suppose to do. I'll do them when I feel like it.
My number one priority is to check my email every morning and send messages to my friends as soon as I can.
I have no desire to write a book. But, that would be a good book though, "Things that can be done Tomorrow!" Then, I can explain why I have all the excuses of why I don't have to do them today.

If I delay something, I tell myself: If I don't do it today, nothing bad will happen. So I'll just leave it for when it's urgent.

I remember as a kid.."Mom can you play with me ?" Let me finish this cigerette, let go to the bathroom, Let me make this ONE phone call, Oh let me put this stuff in the dryer first. In other words LET ME WAIT. I'm in my 30's and I am still waiting. Do it now..Theres no gaurantees you'll have a tomorrow.

I sort of like the Mexican term. Manyahnna (sp?). It does not mean tomorrow; it just means "not today".
