Hi, my name is Chatteress and I'm a procrastinator ...
Seriously, I struggle with procrastination especially when it involves a task that I dread. Often times, I put the task off til the last moment which I know isn't healthy stress-wise and my best foot isn't put forward in completing tasks. Tomorrow night, I have a presentation and I'm STILL struggling to put the outline together. I honestly wish that I wasn't such a procrastinator and had this thing put together weeks ago!
Any tips, strategies or suggestions would be helpful. Thanks for allowing me to vent!

Why put off until tomorrow what you can put off forever?
Me too. Reward yourself with two or three good things after you've completed a dreaded task, be it chocolate, a good book, mini shopping spree, whatever works.
I have found that the longer I put off a task the bigger that task seems to get in my mind. When I finally have no choice but to get it done I am usually surprised at just how easy it was to do it.
Right now I am putting off getting my car inspected. Why? This is an easy task that I have to do every year. I live 5 minutes from the inspection station, I never have to wait in line. It takes, at most, 20 minutes to get it done. So, why am I putting it off?
Oh. I thought YOU were going to tell ME the cure. I came to glean advice, not to offer it.
