Do procrastinators upset you? How can I motivate them?

No. Why waste your time. Maneuver around them and keep on going.

Same situation in my house. I reason, I plead, I scream and when everything else fails I cry. That always works:)

For some people its just how they work. I’m that way. There is no point in me trying to start anything early. It’s not going to happen.

@deni I’m with you.

That’s just how some people are, you probably can’t change them, so why bother stressing out over it?

It does bug me,but then I tend to procrastinate too.I say “Taser“them.I know that would work for me ;)

I’m a procrastinator. It’s probably my worst fault.

What motivates a procrastinator? Let me think about it and I’ll get back to you. :)

I’ll get back to you on that.

@jmah You know what? I once tried to figure that out too, but I put it off to do something else.

That’s how I roll, @erichw1504. That’s how I roll.

What I do is slap myself in the face every morning.

Ok, that does not work.

I will try something else tomorrow.

I think I will answer this one later.

Sometimes I feel like doing something, then I’m like “nah… maybe later”.

Women get married expecting the man to change.
Men get married expecting the woman to never change.
Both are wrong.

What exactly is he not doing for himself that is so detrimental? Is this a mountain or a molehill? As much as we like to think otherwise each person in a marriage is an individual and you can ask once but after that accept his behavior and focus on yours. BTW – if there is something he should be doing and is capable of doing don’t do it for him (except in agreed circumstances, maybe you with laundry he with lawn care, etc…). I’m basically saying don’t enable.

I’m somewhat like that, and I know why, because I was raised with that as an example. My father was a famous procrastinator, and my mother…well she just usually wasn’t around when we were kids.

I say “somewhat” because I really try to get things done when I’ve committed to get them done, knowing this is a minor issue. Having a deadline, or a time I suggested something be done, helps me get it done on time, although usually I don’t start on a task or project until I almost don’t have enough time. I find the stress stimulating, actually, and produce great work that way. Your husband may be somewhat the same.

One other thought. When I was married, my wife always harrangued me to get stuff done, and was always complaining that I never did anything around the house, which was BS. Now that we’re apart, I notice that NOTHING ever gets done there now! LOL.
