Not only have I almost finished planning and have done tons of DIY for my LO's birthday party over 4 months away, but I'm already starting to think Halloween costumes. Seriously. What's wrong with me?!
I was always that girl in school that everyone hated because my homework was done about 5 minutes after the teacher assigned it. I can't help it, if I don't do things ahead of time I'll just stress out because they're not done.

I'm BOTH! lol
I "plan" things out WAY early... events, vacations, budgets... etc But then procrastinate actually executing them. lol

Oh definitely a planner. I plan everything in advance. I don't really feel comfortable unless I know what's coming up. I guess it goes hand-in-hand with my obsession with schedules too. lol

I'm totally a procrastinator, but I blame that on also being a perfectionist. If I finish something ahead of time, I will spend the rest of the time worrying that I haven't done something 'good enough' and will redo it a million times!
...and I'm also lazy these days. That might be part of it as well.

@Mrs Mia Wallace: You're right, and it's hard to edit. Since I do things way ahead of time I have more time to do more things... which isn't really needed. Just a waste of my time and money!

@artbee: I also think I like to torture myself. Like, right now...I should be working on a project at work. Instead, I'm posting on hellobee 
A good example for me is Christmas/Holiday shopping. I almost always wait until a few days before Christmas to begin shopping because I'm so worried about finding the 'right' gift for everyone. Every single year I tell myself, 'I am not doing this again next year!' Yet, the cycle continues!

@runsyellowlites: me too. I have planned my son's second birthday party in my head (December), but I probably won't actually start doing things for it until a week or so before!

@Mrs Mia Wallace: I started to just buy things when I see them. If it's Feb and I see that perfect gift for someone and it's on sale, I'll get it and save it until the holidays. I have a big stash of gifts for people.

I'm both. I love planning waaaaaaaay in advance, but I also love to procrastinate. 
haha.
I can't believe you're already thinking about Halloween!

I'm a planner. I like to have things done at least a week in advance.

Both. For things I have to or need to do, I plan like a crazy person, months in advance. But for things I'd like to do, without a timeline, then I'll take my sweet time.
Baby related = months in advance
Picture books of our vacations = has been on my To Do List since forever

@chopsuey119: My favorite idea so far is to be smores! LO would be a marshmellow, hubby and I graham crackers, and the pup chocolate
@Crumbs: That's why I gave up scrapbooking. Now I do it online and I'm much more likely to get it done.

@artbee: oh my cute! HAHAHA. I haven't thought past 3/24 (LO's party!) Will have to think of Easter immediately after!

@chopsuey119: There's so much cute easter stuff going around on pinterest. I'm jealous because it's not a holiday we celebrate. But we do dye Passover eggs, lol.
