    What things do you procrastinate about?

    At times, the dentist - I've only had 1 cavity in my life & just haveto go for cleanings, so I never have any serious dental work to dread.

    Getting a physical - No one likes doctors. I should probably have a physical by now, but I'm not.

    Sometimes if I'm taking college classes, I won't start reading/studying as soon as I should be.

    *Cleaning out my car (I'll take that out next time...)
    *Setting up appointments (Dr., dentist, others)
    *Grocery shopping (hence the school lunches I've been eating all week...)
    *Grading, when I have too much (case in point, right now...)
    *Buying wedding presents (how many presents have I wrapped in the church parking lot?)
    *Buying any presents, for that matter (always hoping I'll be inspired with the perfect idea, end up settling for a mediocre and/or too expensive idea)
    *Figuring out what I'm going to wear places (My closet is full of clothing items that I bought in desparation on the way to an event)
    *Getting my oil changed
    *Getting my life organized so that I do not procrastinate all the time

    Maybe I should have just taken Mrs. C's route and said everything...

    I was going to reply to this post earlier but I put it off :p.

    I'm really bad at procrastinating filling my car up with gas (I'll just do it in the morning, oh wait, I'm running late, I'll do it on the way home).

    And laundry. I don't mind doing the actually laundry, I just hate putting everything away.

    Everything!!! I like to wait to be inspired. But inspiration comes very slowly.

    Cleaning out the trunk of my car. I don't know why. I know I have to do it, but I haven't since October. I have pumpkin baskets from our Fall Festival still in there!!! AGH

    It's weird, because I procrastinate about lots of various things, but am very organized in other things. My main procrastination problem is just putting things away. My desk, my kitchen table, my dresser have tons of stuff stacked that needs to be put away. Once in a while I will just take the time to put everything back in its place and start fresh. But it doesn't take long to get back to a mess again. Why can't I put it where it belongs right away??

    Putting away laundry. To the point where I am pretty much picking wahtever looks clean and only mildly wrinkled out of a big pile in my room. I hate it because I spend good money on my clothes and that is just lazy, but I HATE doing it.

    I also put laundry aside all the time. I know I should do it more often, but I leave it for tomorrow.
