Good one.

I'm procrastinating by reading an article about ways to prevent procrastination. haha It's too hard when the thing you have to do is not fun. But it has to get done anyway so might as well do it early. Great post!! Comes in handy now that school started again.

That one came just in time since the new school year starts next week, and my worst problem is that I'm always procrastinating. I know if I stop procrastinating I will graduate with honors lol. Great post, LOVE it !
