Major procrastinator myself - no suggestions for that but one comment:
It is commonly thought that having children will make us happy. I read an article once that explained how far from true that is. We delight in our children and love them dearly but they do not make us happy. They are stressors that we have to worry about and put lots of our energy into raising them. The study I read said that parents are happier when their children are grown. The little beasts require lots of effort, attention, money and lost sleep. Don't get me wrong, I love my son, but I am looking forward to the day when he will be self sufficient.
