The Progression of a Procrastinator

So I pretty much was the biggest procrastinator you'd ever meet. I put stuff off so much til I learned to work better under pressure. It was getting me by for most of my life but I realized I was wasting time just to put myself in the position to fail. I meant being under prepared or not prepared at all. It also didn't help that my mother was pretty much who I got it from. My mama and daddy are like day and night. He'll do something then and now. While she'll say "oh it can be done later, whats the rush". I will say that she never did that with her job but mostly everything else... do it later.
So after years of being that way myself, I join the Air Force and it becomes a "do it now" world. It must be done right now, or it becomes a problem. Most of the time that's total bullsh*t but I go along with it anyway.
So to combat my procrastinating nature I went out a brought myself a small refrigerator dry erase board. Nothing special just something where I can write down all the things I need to accomplish within the day or week. Like a small reminder, and you know what? IT WORKS! Since I've started using it, I've been able to get all my stuff done. I live by the practice that if its written on the board... it has to be done. Until, it is... I don't erase it. Now every now and again I do erase stuff if it turns out to not be that important. That doesn't mean it won't get done, the board is just too small to have every thing on there.
