Are you a pre-planner ?
LAWS OF LOGIC ... Have you seen this happen to others ? Put something off, only for something else to get in the way of getting that other thing done ? WAKE UP ! It will happen every time ! It's the laws of logic. It's not going to change, no matter how many times you put things off. It will smack you in the face every time.
Maybe the thing being put off, is as simple as, pay a bill, pack for a trip, or make a dinner reservation. But you look at someone like me, who is a pre-planner of just about everything and laugh, only to find yourself constantly saying, "Oh my gosh, I can't believe this is happening !" Well non-planners, repeat the same type stress over and over and you would think, it would finally sink in ! Did you know, one reason pre-planners HAVE TO to pre-plan ? To leave room for the non-pre-planners who wait till the last minute and will most always, mess up the schedule of the pre-planner ! For real ! How many times does your last minute affect others ?
FYI, if you go to bed each night or leave the house each morning, before writing a to-do list the day, I will guess you have never taken a "time management class" ! I hear folks say, Oh, I know what I have to do tomorrow. Time Management says, write it down, NO MATTER, whether you can remember it or not ! One thing it does, is reminds you, to watch your time !
