Happy National Coffee Day!
Do you procrastinate?
Who doesn't? My control? I use my timer.
Here are more suggestions from Brian Tracy

Why does it seem everyone does their major grocery shopping trip on a Sunday night when there are 21 cash registers and only 2 available cashiers: one Express register, for 20 items or less, and one regular check-out register.
I made the mistake of going grocery shopping tonight and I stood behind a lady who had purchased (what seemed to be) 1/2 the store from men's clothing to meat to dog food, and behind her was an old gent dressed in a tank top waiting in line with his month's supply of meat. Then, it was me, with a week's worth of groceries in my shopping cart. I had the wicked and alluring thought that perhaps if another cashier arrived to open another line, then I could be first in line at another cash register. Well, a woman pulled up in my line, right behind me, with 2 shopping carts heaving with groceries, enough to feed an army. Sure enough, after I was formulating my script in my mind as to what to say to the store manager about this obtuse situation, a sickly-looking cashier appeared standing behind a cash-register 2 lines up. The woman with the 2 carts was looking at a gossip rag. I heard the newly-arrived cashier saying, "I can take the next one." I turned to the woman behind me and said, "There's another register opening." Gone in a flash, the woman went over to the newly-opened register, leaving me to wait in line for service. By the time I was having my groceries scanned, the woman with the "two carts full" was happily leaving the store with her multitudinous purchases. No more Sunday night grocery-shopping for me!
