I find myself to be a lazy person. I at least know my flaw, now I need to do something about it. I am the type of person who becomes obsessed with a certain subject or activity and then spends all my time engrossed in it while I ignore everything else in my life. I need discipline. I need to not only learn how to organize my daily mundane (and not so mundane) activities, but also actually do them.
My day is full of "put-off" ideas:
"I could get out of bed now, but, it does feel good to be in bed and the kids have fed themselves. The house and chores will still be there if I stay in bed just a little longer." I put-off getting out of bed until 9am on some mornings.
"I could work on math with my son now, but, if we just happen to skip it today, the problem will still be there tomorrow and missing one day of math will not doom him to a life of minimum wage jobs." I could use this excuse and miss entire weeks of math study.
The excuses or "put-offs" get worse. I am hoping daily writing will develop some discipline for me to get everything else done. We will see how disciplined I am tomorrow.
