Today I was reading through my blog and became increasingly more aware of a disturbing new trend in my behavior, which is the marked increase in follow-through. Like this morning, for instance: I said (or typed, rather) that I would post for you the transcripts of my famed and famous Craigslist ads. So then, what did I do later today? And not too long ago? I posted those ads.
Yeah. Even though I specifically said in my very first entry that I would do it tomorrow, or maybe today (HINT: the italicized word is a hallmark of Procrastinators everywhere). So, even though I left myself wide-open, with plenty of leeway, I went ahead and followed through today, and do you know what? I can't keep going on like this. I can't keep up with this charade any longer. So, I'll just admit it now, even though it may make me seem like less of a tough-guy: I'm a closet list-maker.
That's right. I write down the things I need to do. And then I do them. I know! I'm not entirely proud of that fact, either, but do you know what? I don't always follow-through, so, really, it's not all that bad. Some things I even mark off without doing just because I get sick of looking at 'em. Like this one from two weeks ago: "pay credit card bill." Who ever does that crap anyway?
