Or How to Start 2024
I’m happy to be in 2024. I have plans. Big plans. {insert evil laugh here} I made a list of goals, and I’m ready. I’ve already started on them. But I’ve done a bit of procrastinating.

While I read your title and thought, I don't need a reason to procrastinate, just let me show you - lol - I love your list of reasons, especially the first, and then... well, okay, all of them. I re-organized some of my bookshelves today, and of course, had to reread a few chapters of a favorite book or two along the way.
