Procrastinating Doing Your Taxes?

Like most people, I don’t enjoy preparing my income tax returns. And sure, I could hire an accountant to do it, but s/he requires me to do most of the work anyway: separating all the income sources and deduction receipts, so I do my own.

Before and during the process, I’m tempted to procrastinate—and often succumb. I prefer even cleaning to doing my taxes: My house has never been cleaner: from toilets to, would you believe, the dust just underneath the rugs. 

Yet, here we are on March 23, more than three weeks before the April 15 deadline and my tax returns are almost done. Perhaps you might find it helpful to see how I avoided needing an extension. I tell all in my PsychologyToday.com article today.
