The phrase "Just do it!" has become a bit of phrase of annoyance in our homeschool, but I'm not really sure why it bothers my children. In fact, if I even begin saying, "just" they are likely to start objecting.
Granted I should give them a bit of courtesy and throw in a please or two but sometimes things JUST need to get done and quick without complaining, whining or procrastination. Today's links will focus on resources to deal with procrastination.

I'm the world's worst procrastinator and need to repeat that phrase loudly to myself every day.
ReplyDeleteProcrastination leads to stagnation. I'm guilty as the next person of taking the opportunity to procrastinate every so often. Thanks for sharing, and it's a pleasure to meet you via the now defunct A-Z Challenge!
