One of the characteristics that I admire about Erik is that he is not a procrastinator because I have been one all my life. It was important to me marry someone who was opposite of myself in this area. Two procrastinators would never get ANYTHING done. And although our opposite characterics are supposed to complement each other, this area has caused some friction between us. It frustrated Erik that I procrastinate and then can't participate in spontaneous activities. He also feels bad for me because it causes me stress. So we recently had a talk about why I procrastinate and why he doesn't. I have decided that it is better for me to change and have been making an effort to not procrastinate. I feel physically more worn out but I do feel less stressed out.
