As a mother, I am still learning that procrastination is not always a bad thing and that it actually works better for some people--just not me.
You see, Emily takes after her dad. He may procrastinate at times, but he works
well under these conditions. I, on the other hand, prefer to prepare because procrastination only leads me to stress... a lot.
I am trying to exercise patience as I sit back and watch (without too much talking), Emily prepare or is it procrastinate her college admission deadlines and scholarship deadlines?
I want her to have it all done yesterday. However, she prefers to put the final touches on everything the night before. And you know what, it always works for her!
Any pressure=great success for this one and in many ways I admire it.
So dearest Emily, I will try to show more appreciation for the wonderful virtue of procrastination.
