Day 4: A habit that you wish you didn't have

This one is very easy: Procrastination.

It seems to be the bane of most people's existence. Why do something today when you can put it off to tomorrow? Yes, I realise I've completely changed the old saying to fit my own needs!

So yes, procrastination. I always put things off to the last minute. I tell myself that I'll start things way before they're due, like uni assignments. But I always end up spending the last few days rushing to get something finished. I'm not as bad as I used to be actually, but it's still not good.

Same goes for getting healthier. I put off buying healthy food and starting exercise, making up excuses like I have uni assignments to do and I can start it tomorrow. But I tend to put a bit more effort in if I have an event coming up where I want to feel good for. Like a wedding, or I'm going away next year and I wanna be able to actually go out and see places and not have to stop all the time because I'm so unfit.

But I'm working on it. I'm actually going to go for a bike ride later today. I haven't ridden a bike in over 10 years, so it should be interesting. I rode it up and down the driveway the other day to make sure it worked, and whoever said something was as easy as riding a bike, clearly hadn't gone 10 years without riding one!

At least I didn't put off posting this blog until the last minute. That's a start, right?

  1. Hear hear.

    At least it's somewhat reassuring to see that you, me, and Andie all chose the same thing, along with other people's blogs I've read. I think we need to motivate each other since we're both unfit and serious procrastinators, and both need to look amazing for Chad's wedding next year!

    We seriously need a good kick on the ass to get moving. And, wow, Chad's gonna marry Daniel? D:
