Procrastination

Everyone has those times when are just at our limit. When you feel as though the time to collapse and give into what your body has been screaming for the past two weeks is only seconds away! Some of us will perform at our peak level at these times. When iron it hitting iron and there is no chance for mistakes. I am one of those. In college I left that 17 page paper until the weekend before it was due and if I even tried to start it three weeks earlier I would waste hours staring at a blank screen. I still function on this level but just a little differently. I will wait until necessary to "think" about what needs to be done but I will have everything in place to make it happen right then! I think this is just about growing older, figuring out how YOU work and adjusting so you don't mess up, slack off or forget, but you strive for excellence and make it happen no matter what that journey looks like. Even when the sleep is not there and the fast food dinners are a daily staple, in the end you make it happen, succeed and do it with excellence. So no matter what you do to finish that project, lead that team, build that house, or clean that floor. Figure out how you do it best and then go for it. Even if you only have thirty minutes to get it done.
