If I had to pick out my major character flaw, it would be easy: I’m a terrible procrastinator. If something can be put off until literally the last second- it will be. If it CAN’T be put off, well, sometimes it will be anyway. I have to set up rigid routines for myself (which is hard, because I have almost no discipline) in order to get anything done. Over the years, I have improved- but I’m always on the lookout for more time management help. That’s why I love this article by Ruth Soukup at Living Well Spending Less:
-List your priorities: Take ten minutes to write down the 5-10 things that are most important to you in the season of life you are in right now.
-Set specific goals: List five major things you would like to accomplish by this time next year. Be as specific as possible.
-Get the hard, not-fun stuff out of the way first. There is a reason why math class is always first period in school.
-Reset your habits
