Dependability vs Procrastination

Okay so I know it’s been a minute since I’ve last posted which means two things... I’ve been extremely busy and I can’t even rant on a consistent basis...LOL but nevertheless here we are.

So lets just jump in to this with the definition of Accountability and Procrastination

Dependability - the quality of being trustworthy and reliable.

Procrastination- the action of delaying or postponing something

So my biggest thing is procrastination. If there was a city of procrastination I would be the Queen, Mayor or at least the Governor... lol not because I love procrastination nor do I prefer to be a procrastinator. But there is something so satisfying about putting things to the last minute a rushing to get things finished. Even right now for example it’s taken me 3 DAYS to finish this post. Now when I‘m motivated to get things done there is no stopping me. I have list, checklist, action plans (which might be my next post), and to do list; you name it I got it. But it’s those day where I see those list of things that I have to do and there is nothing I can do or say to make me do it. So how do I get things done with my strong trait of procrastination you ask?

Here is where the dependability comes in. As a employee, a friend, a mom, and a sister if someone ask me to do something I do it with the same urgency that I would hope someone would have if I asked them to do something or if it were my job to do this thing that was asked of me. So when it comes to my stuff I almost have to talk to myself in third person. When it comes to the business stuff its “Hey Chef X needs this done by the end of the day.” When it’s personal stuff its a little harder but I tell myself your not gonna want to do this tomorrow because you have X, Y and Z to do and you won’t have time. and Sometimes that doesn’t work and I have to make myself do because if I don’t it will be left undone and then I’m scrambling to get it done which we all know is never fun. My procrastination is a real struggle that I’m working on.
