Whoosing Past

This conversation from Julie and Julia has been stuck in my mind for a while now.

"But I'll probably need a deadline."

"Why?"

"Because otherwise it'll be like everything else I do. 'Cause let's face it, I never finish anything."

"Hey."

"Well, it's true. You know why I think it is? ADD."

"You have ADD?"

"Yes. That's why I'm so bad at housework."

"Oh, is that it?"

"I'm just saying, a deadline would be good."

"So a deadline. I love deadlines."

"I love the sound they make as they go whooshing past."

I usually do things on time or even finish them earlier but I noticed that for the past year, I have always been stalling everything unrelated to school. Future plans like teaching, business, dance, solfege lessons, portfolio, etc. They have always been pushed to the side. I think, like Julia in the movie, I have to set my own deadline so I can finish something. I know in the end (or near future) that all these will be in the same priority level as my studies. This lazy bug has to go away.

I'm putting deadlines from now on. It's time to, not just start but, finish things!
