One of my bad habits is procrastinating.

I get lazy and tend to put things off until the last minute.

I've been meaning to change this for a long time but it's not easy.

I'm habitually 10 to 20 minutes late for meetings and appointments.

Another habit I would like to kick is eating late at night.

I just can't fight the urge to eat something when I'm hungry at night.

I've gained some weight and it's all because of this habit.
