I would like to assume that my hesitation to classify myself as a lazy person is due largely in part to the fact that I'm not. Although, the possibility remains that I hesitate to say I'm lazy because I'd hate to admit that it could be true.

In order to avoid jumping to unnecessary conclusions, I'm going on record to state that I am not a lazy person. I do, however, have what could be referred to as “lazy tendencies.”

I all too often find myself noticing that something needs to be done but not doing a thing about it.

A pile of coats will remain on a chair for days, even though I notice they need to be hung up every time I walk past.

I will get a drink of water and notice that the filter needs to be replaced but I can't seem to take two minutes to do it.

I have a running list of phone calls I need to return and emails I need to answer but I always seem to find someone else to text and something else to read online.

My appalling lack of follow-thru is finally getting to me, but my timing in putting off changing my lazy ways couldn't be better.

Today marks the first day of Lent. Any surprise I'm giving up procrastination?
