Procrastination bites

Thomas Jefferson once said something to the effect of "never put off until tomorrow what you can do today."  Well, yesterday I felt like putting off stuff until tomorrow.  Today is yesterday's tomorrow so I guess I gotta do those things that I felt like putting off until tomorrow.  Tomorrow is, um, well... tomorrow.  Until tomorrow gets here and becomes... today.  And today becomes yesterday in a deja vu kind of way.  If I could look through a time portal at myself in yesterday's world, what would I say?  "Quit farting around and get busy, you lazy ass!  Look at all of this crap I have to do today!"  Anyway, I could just keep kicking the can forward another day until tomorrow... again.  Procrastination bites ya in the ass sooner or later and ya just gotta get stuff done.  OK.  Back to work. Or as my time portal viewing self would tell me from tomorrow's world, "Get to work!" 

Have a good day.

Eh, we all have those days. For me, it mainly involves laundry and dishes. Then the next day, I'm up to my neck in both and kicking myself for not doing it the day before. Oh well. Did you get anything done in the end?

yeah. For me, if I don't get it done, I don't get paid. Pretty good incentive.
