• Next thing we know the blue lights are flashing in the rearview mirror and have yet another speeding ticket to have to explain and pay for. That is if we are lucky and we haven't had a car accident with our babies in the car.

• More money wasted all because we procrastinated and didn't go to bed at a decent hour to get up and start our day on the right foot.

Just writing this makes me nauseated. I can't live this way anymore. The constant surge of adrenaline is hard on our bodies. We have to find a way to relieve the stress that procrastination causes in our lives. Are you listening to me! Procrastination can kill us and maim our children. It can be a slow painful death of our bodies turning on us because of the constant surge of adrenaline with immune dysfunction or it can be a quick one with a car accident. You have a choice to stop this right now!

If I can ever get you to feel the peace that comes from just a few simple routines in your life, you will never go back to living this way. Next week we will look at some simple routines to stop the avalanche of procrastination.
