hanging on too long

I have some really bad habits
Some that I know that I need to change
Like my tendency to go food shopping….
Right after working out

(sorry poor guy in the check out line next to me)
And there are some habits that I don’t see as bad
But others do
And I don’t care to change
Like my constant list making and time tracking
I have a bad habit that I know that I need to drop
In the words of Duffy
I keep “hanging on too long”
Not in the I’m going hold a grudge forever type of hanging on
But squeezing a lemon to the last drop type of hanging on
I will review an assignment until I can’t review it anymore before I turn it in
And after I turn it in I will still agonize over it
I also hang on to people sometimes pass the expiration date
For the most part I will cut ‘em loose and move on to the next one
But there are some people for the love of me I can-not-shake
I constantly tell myself: this time is the last time…if they do it one more time they’re done
But I always go back on my word of being done with them or of restricting them
However, this weekend…I finally saw the light so to speak
It is definitely time for some personnel changes in my life
VIP cards need to be snatched
Starters benched and new team members drafted
I just have to learn how to stop hanging on too long
