Alright!!! This is it! Time to confess to those of you who do not already know.....but I have to do it quickly, because I'm literally running out of time.....
With a quick slug of coffee......here goes.....
Today I share with you a slice of me, not just a slice of life, but of who I really am.....
Yes, my friends, I offer to you a true confession....
I am not a princess, but I do deserve a crown....
I am a procrastination queen....
Why I am like this I'll never know, and I don't know how to change. (I've tried).
But the reasons are of no significance, and there's no time to ponder....
The clock is ticking...... and there is so much to do
So, goes my life....
Not good, you may think.....and you'd be right,it's not.....I have tormented myself and others for years.....
And yet somehow I manage to prevail.....
With a whoosh and a whir, I will fly though the house like a white tornado, clean with the fury of a mad woman,and still manage make out bills, correspond with others, finish the laundry, (nourish myself, daughter, and pets),and tackle any other miscellaneous duties that come my way.
We are going on a trip, and I will be packed and ready to go....
If you don't have time management issues like me, you probably wonder how in the world I survive.....and here's the best answer I can give....
We procrastination queens have highly developed multitasking skills, and crazy as it seems, we really do work better under pressure!!
TICK TOCK TICK TOCK.....BUZZZZZ......
Well, time's up!! I've really gotta run.....but glad I found time to share this, because next time you see me running around like the proverbial "headless chicken", you'll understand.
You know my secret; my true identity,
I AM,a procrastination queen !!
This was fun to read. I am not usually a procrastinator but once in a while, if I'm really dreading something, I will wait until I can't wait any longer. Usually I'm pretty good at managing my time. But then sometimes I get tired of doing that and I choose to manage my time by blowing my time! Some days are just like that. I call them mental health days. We all need them. So, next time you are procrastinating, maybe you can borrow my reason!
ReplyDeleteI'm a procrastinator, too. Drives my mom crazy. She's a planner.
ReplyDeleteSomehow, it always all gets done, right?
Great piece - so full of your voice!
I think you need to respin this to be all about working well under pressure. You hint at it, but I think you should embrace it. I have.
ReplyDeleteI am one too, in spite of attempts to plan ahead. I read once, "If you want to make something difficult, just put it off". That is so true. I know my best is not achieved through procrastination. And as I've aged, i find it harder to get everything done at the last minute, then I'm not pleased with myself. So I really do need to work on this trait.
ReplyDeleteAhem, on behalf of all procrastinating queens, I thank you. Try as I might- I am right along there with you! I feel like i have time management down to a science- knowing and calculating precisely how much time is necessary for a series of necessary tasks and errands. I always prevail- sometimes with ample time most often with only minutes to spare! Maybe we secretly get a rush- but no matter how hard I try.. it's just in my bones!
