I'm doing 19 things
Instead of not procrastinating, I am adding the goal of not procrastinating and writing an entry for it. Some things will never change. Time and time again I screw myself over with my procrastination, yet I never learn. Maybe I just prefer the pressure. I should be writing two papers that are due in less than 2 days, neither of which I’ve started. Maybe I should go work on those now…

How I did it
It made me
Very pleased 
How I did it: One day, while flipping through National Geographic Adventure, I saw a picture of someone kayaking in a blue-tinged glacier cave. It was so beautiful and looked so exciting, it ignited in me a desire to kayak. A year and a few months later, I saw a poster for a kayaking course hanging in the library in which I work.

This is the biggest concern in my life right now. It’s just this horribly stressful thing hanging over my head. I don’t think I like being an adult.
