Don't Procrastinate! Learn from my mistake!
I've always been bad about procrastinating. In school I would always wait all weekend to do my homework and finally late Sunday night I would get around to (maybe) doing it.
Currently, I just moved from one unit of my duplex to the other and need to get the old unit rented out. No big deal right? Except that I have been putting off doing a bunch of work I needed to do before we rent it out, and we're going on vacation in about a week. So not only do I need to get the unit rented in less than a week, I also need to finish moving into the other unit and finish the last few things on the rental. Also my wife and I are taking turns between watching our 6 month old and doing work, which has slowed us down quite a bit. We do have a few contractors helping us out with some of the tasks, so that's good.
One thing I will mention is we weren't supposed to be moving for another month, after vacation, but due to various issues with the tenants things changed.
The moral of the story is don't procrastinate or it will come back to bite you. I have to go now. Time for my wife and I to switch!
