Procrastinate? No.

The title says it all. I have definitely procrastinated. I've been too busy thinking of how stressed I am and what all I have to do instead of actually going out and DOING those things. I obviously am not very good at managing my time. However, I am working harder each day to improve this. Work should not be an excuse but I am making it one. I work every afternoon and by the time I come home, I am almost worn out. THAT is NO excuse, I have to keep telling myself. Nurses don't get "down-time." Trying to relax is not going to prove my worthiness of having a nursing license and, consequently, will only slow down the process.
It is so important to not procrastinate. First, you feel so much better and more accomplished when you get things done ahead of time. No one wants to have to sit out on that party this weekend because they have homework. In my case, this weekend is my birthday celebration. I definitely want to relax instead of do homework and clean all weekend. Therefore, it is important for me to get in gear and carry out my plans of action. Second, completing tasks sets a good ground for the future. For example, if I get into the habit of completing my tasks ahead of time, I will have no trouble with it in my future. This goes for any aspect of life; school, tending to children, and even cleaning.Thus, I will have set a good example for my peers and family.
I hope everyone has learned either from their own experience or someone else's that procrastination is NOT a good habit to get into. Once you start, it is hard to stop.
