Procrastination season
It’s the time of year that I’d rather do most anything (even clean out my closet) than begin work on my taxes. I keep meaning to get to it, but end up finding much better things to do.

I made the decision several years ago to bring my forms and receipts to an accountant and have him do it. My taxes aren’t too complicated and sure, I could easily do them myself. BUT the mental energy drain I get from thinking about (and procrastinating) made me realize that this was money well spent. I no longer feel any guilt from postponing them and I just kick back in the office and text or read silly stuff on the web and wait for him to ask me questions.
Oh, I’ve had an accountant for years. I procrastinate getting my stuff to him. But I made a good start yesterday, sending an email with preliminary numbers.
