Do You Wait Until the Last Minute?

Posted by Jenn Greenleaf Feb 9, 2009

Do you wait until the last minute to get things out into the mail? I’ve been doing this a lot more lately than usual. For example, I really should’ve gotten birthday invitations out for my son’s party on Friday much sooner than I did . . . why didn’t I? I really should get Valentine’s Day cards out in the mail by today, but they’re not ready . . . why?

I don’t purposely wait until the last minute to do these things, nor am I the type to procrastinate about sending cards out. However, lately I’ve managed to pick up this habit somehow. Could it be because I’m busy doing other things that I think might be more important? Could it be that these tasks have become less important to me? Have I lost the spirit of these types of celebrations?

In all honesty, I don’t have a straight answer for any of these questions. All I know is that I intend to break this habit because, really, it isn’t who I am. I love celebrations of any kind, I love expressing my feelings through greeting cards (even if they’re ecards sent at the last minute), and I love sending things through the mail that is considered “fun” mail all the time. Anyone who knows me and knows me well can vouch for that. ::smiles::

So, I’m wondering . . . are you the type to wait until the last minute? Is this a recent habit that you’ve also picked up that you’d like to break?
