1/ 🧵
I had informed my children in the Church that there would be an examination to evaluate them and see if they understood all we have taught them. I planned to set up and print the questions during the week.
2/ 🧵
When will you set my own exam nau
Monday came, and I postponed setting the questions because I thought there was still time. Then came Tuesday, I shrugged it off thinking there was still time to do that. Wednesday came, and the same thing happened.

Oh no, you got caught by the procrastination bug, oops, procrastination does no one any good
At all, it does no one any good. It is the thief of time.
Yeah, it is and should be avoided by all means
Until I procrastinated due to laziness till today which is Saturday. Early in the morning, I checked the time and said, there is still time to do this...
I was preparing to go for a home lesson when I called...

...the man who would be helping to print the questions and I got the shock of my life when he told me he didn´t bring his generator to the shop. Wow, that was a fuck and didn´t expect that. It was around 3 pm then.

Haha, I can remember a similar situation happened to me when I was supposed to submit my GA meeting minutes. It was a sunday and most of the printing press were closed and now I have to go to far place to it done.

My schedule for the home lesson was 3 pm but here I am without the exam questions ready for the next day in Church. I was already rushing to visit other cafes within the area when it started raining heavily.
6/ 🧵
"This is my fault" I said silently. I borrowed a friend´s umbrella and entered the rain in search of a typist and printer. I could have used my laptop but it was dead as at that time. I had to pay for my negligence...
7/ 🧵
It happens to me very often, procrastination affects me a lot.
It affect a lot of people.
Sadly 😨
...by entering inside the rain to get those questions done at all costs as I wouldn´t want to disappoint those kids. I searched different shops, some turned me down while others had closed for the day.
8/ 🧵
I was already feeling nervous while standing in the rain thinking of what to do. I found the last shop, he wanted to turn me down but I begged him and explained myself. He took pity on me and decided to help me.
9/ 🧵
He printed all questions for me, thanked him and left. On my way home, I decided never to let such happen again because it would have been the worst day for me and knowing I would be disappointing kids in the church.
10/ 🧵
I had informed the parents of the kids I would be taking home lessons on the delay and would show up once I am done. At 4 pm, I got there and took those kids. I felt happy and at the same time, learnt a lesson.
THE END!
