  2. “Harness the power and ignite the gift” I love that! I feel like I should print that out and leave it on my mirror. A great reminder!

  3. I’m trying to not be lazy and procrastinate. Sometimes though, it takes over but I always end up getting it done. I also sometimes procrastinate my procrastination. I’ll start working on one thing, then move on to something else so I don’t have to do that first thing for a while. Anyone else do that?

  4. I’m a HUGE procrastinator. I feel like a hypocrite when I start telling my kids what they should be doing and when!

  17. I am a horrible procrastinator. I always makes lists. It’s the only way to make sure I get things all done that I really need and want done, because I don’t procastinate on purpose. Sometimes I get overwhelmed and procrastinate because I don’t know where to start.
