I have been procrastinating for the last four days. I just keep procrastinating doing the bills. I just did them some days ago but I've got to do them again. I find myself procrastinating more since I stopped drinking coffee.  I've got to give myself a swift kick in the rear. Anyone else here procrastinating lately?

UPDATE

I just paid my bills. 

👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

I've been procrastinating for the last 50 years. I'm very good at it. Luckily my husband and children are the opposite.

It depends on what needs done.  I pay bills the same day I receive them and go grocery shopping when I need to and change sheets, cook and do dishes but I put off doing big chores like cleaning out the basement or garage.

I started the basement about two weeks ago but didn't finish.  I really need to step up and just get it done...one of these days.

@Mindy D.  If you had auto bill pay at your bank, you wouldn't even have to think about it as they do it for you.  Plus you save a ton on postage.

I am a master procrastinator.  My to-do list will have the same items on it for days...or weeks...or...🥹

I pay all of the bills online, most of them on automatic payment.  I have never had an issue, @Mindy D.

@Kachina624 only if you switch to auto pay or e-bills to the bank.

As much as I hate paying bills I won't let anyone except our supplement insurance company dip into our accounts.

@CelticCrafter. I got my first PC in 1995, and have been using bill pay ever since.  You still get the paper bills but the bank pays them.  I've never had a late or misdirected payment or one for the incorrect amount.   You are not allowing some entity to "dip" into your account; it's carefully controlled.

I feel your pain @Mindy D  I have never been much of a procrastinator till my heart attack.  WHY do I feel worse than before I had my heart surgery???  I do all my bill pay online, on my phone.  It's not like I have to go into the office, write checks, put them in envelopes, lick a stamp and take them to the mailbox LOL Before my HA, when I got a bill, I instantly pulled out my phone and scheduled the pymt.  Of course, this is a more recent way of paying bills.  I remember the days when I did have to write checks.  Right now I'm procrastinating cleaning the kitchen.
