“In this world nothing can be said to be certain, except death and taxes.” – Benjamin Franklin

There are some things I put off because I don’t want to deal with it. From bills to taxes, I put it off because I don’t want to deal with it. Sometimes we can’t avoid things that are certain, from aging to life events. While those things are always coming, we can prepare for the expected. Often, as a teacher, I prepare things in advance. I do this because I know I will have less time later.
