I have many excuses why I didn't get this done earlier, but once I focused on this task, it was done fairly quickly.
Always looking for lessons in what happens in my life, I asked myself why I had stalled so long. Why did I put off something that would cause stress at the last minute?
This isn't the first task I've procrastinated about, then done with a burst of determination at the eleventh hour. Afterward, as the adrenaline drains from my system, I'm exhausted.
I know if I would have immediately input expenses and income in into my databases, which are already conveniently set up, the task would have been so much easier and less stressful.
So why do I put these things off? And does it really matter?
The lesson I learned from this is the need to form a habit of doing tasks as they arise so I don't have the last minute crazies and then exhaustion. Starting with this blog post. It's not 2:00 a.m. on posting day, but the post is done and will be pre-scheduled. Hooray!
Now on to the next task. Because even angels have lessons to learn and tax forms to fill out. :)
