What have you been putting off doing? Why?

I think I have been putting off almost everything. I am lazy. But I’m Japanese, so I am punctual. That’s why I have never submitted assignments late.

In Japan, I arrived 10 to 15 minutes early for meetings. But now, I am usually on time, or at most 5 minutes late. When I’m late, I sometimes make excuses. I call myself an excuse-maker. Psychologically speaking, making excuses is rationalization, which is a defense mechanism. I can explain in detail. But successful people don’t make excuses. 😅

I summarized my ideas for a short story. It is a love story. When am I going to finish writing? I don’t know.

    This is such an honest and beautifully self-aware reflection. 🌸
    Your writing carries both humility and humor — a rare combination that makes it deeply relatable. The contrast between your punctual Japanese habits and your gentle confession of “laziness” paints a very human, endearing picture. I especially love how you bring psychology into your self-observation — it shows depth and introspection.
