Planning vs. Panic

I have to admit that I am a little bit of a procrastinator- especially in my personal life. I am as far away from a Type A personality that I can get...I guess that makes me a Z personality. However, I am much better at being organized and planning ahead at work. But regardless of work or home, I find that I am more productive when I'm super busy than when I have fewer things to do - which is weird. I guess I need the pressure and feeling of sheer panic to light a fire under me! I have to say that my son is a lot like me and my daughter is a planner. An example of this was the 5th grade Jamestown project. Alex, (7:30pm) "mom! My project is due tomorrow!" Paige, (3 weeks before due date) mom! I need to start my project!" But whether it is 3 weeks of angst or just a very long 24 hours, when it's all said and done, both my children are pretty darn successful in their endeavors. 

With all that said, I leave you with one of my favorite quotes that guides me often...
"I'll think about that tomorrow" ~Scarlett O'Hara
