I can only pick one? I guess I'd have to say procrastination. According to Shonda Rhimes (creator of Grey's Anatomy), "Everyone knows the key component of serious, rampant procrastination is the inability to put anything on paper." That was certainly true for me in college! Now I procrastinate in other areas. If there's a project at work that is particularly unpleasant I just put it off as long as possible, if I need to do laundry I put it off until the third day of wearing my last clean pair of jeans, and if there's someone God's laid on my heart to reach out to I'll often put it off for fear of their reaction. How sad is that? I also struggle with a short attention span which feeds procrastination. I'm easily distracted by shiny things and there are countless projects I've begun and never finished. For example, I have a cross-stitch project that I began in March 2004 that is sitting in a drawer about 90% completed. Yeah I know, it's pathetic. Anyway, I am aware of the problem and am trying to do something about it. Hopefully I won't put that off too long!
