I was going to wait until Mañana to do this. Review of your wonderful story. But I thought well maybe I shouldn't procrastinate. So here we go we're giving you ever you on your delightful story. Keep writing and sharing, and I will keep reading and reviewing. Patricia.

The older you get, the harder it is to find the motivation to dig into things like books and chores. I thought the dialogue was witty and the personality between the two selves is great counterpoint. estory

This is cute. Your conversation with yourself is an engaging dialogue and easy to follow due to the color coding. Your English is good, in fact, better than some native speakers.

I think there is one spot that you want to change the font to green
"What?"

You hit the nail on the head and described me to a "T". I am a master procrastinator. I can start a project two weeks early and miss the deadline by a week. An enjoyable read. I identified with everything you wrote and have used all the excuses you've described. Thanks for sharing it. Frank

I enjoyed reading and completely understand. I've hit that area with me working out. I'm telling myself, I have too many things to do at home to go work out. So far, I'm still working out. Don't know how long it will last. I have to admit I feel better after I do.

" Manana!" Move quotation mark closer to 'Manana' in two different areas)

I love these skits where you talk to you alterego. I think your English is fine and I wouldn't open those books either if I could use another language as well as you do. I've got Spanish courses sitting around unused and like you, I don't throw them out because I'll get to them manana.

This "manana" syndrome affects a lot of people and it is getting more widespread all the time. I am going to address my own problem with it very, very soon.

Procrastinating is common among most people, including me.

Procrastinating is a danger. People can end up with getting nothing done. Nothing!

You are smart to use dialogue to show procrastinating is equal to tomorrow.

I enjoy the dialogue.

Thanks for sharing

Okay, very cute. You should have entered this in the dialogue only cash contest.

Something happened in the second to last sentence with symbols:
again?"

" Ma�?�±ana?"

I enjoyed this one, my friend!
