The Weekly Challenge is a column that tackles self-improvement seven days at a time. Earlier this year I spent a week banishing procrastination one teeny tiny act at a time by attending to every task that took less than two minutes to accomplish – no dirty dishes left in the sink or beds left unmade. This made an enormous difference in creating some domestic bliss. But of course, these quick and dirty tasks only make up one section of a typical to-do list. This week I challenged myself to attack a more long-standing goal – something that has been collecting cobwebs on the back burner for years.

Is there a fast track for drivers licence in alberta? In an Ontario drivers license number I know the first letter delineates your surname but the next eight. If this is your first time getting a driver's licence, you will need to go through 3 steps. In Ontario, you need to get a G1, G2, and finally a full Class G Licence to drive. You need to bring personal identification and proof of immigration status with.

Most of us have at least one or two of these headaches: quit smoking, clean out the storage space, get in touch with an old friend. You mean to do it, and then all of a sudden you blink and it's 10 (okay fine, 11) years later. So goes the story of me and my driver's licence, the short version of which is as follows: I got my licence about 17 years ago under the graduated licence regulations in Ontario. I drove for five years, and then kept putting off taking my final highway test before the stage one licence expired. That was 2001, and about once every month since I have vowed to get back behind the wheel. It's totally illogical – I want to drive (especially since I pay half the lease on the car I share with my boyfriend), my life would be a million times more hassle-free and I would save a bundle in cabs. Where does this inertia come from?

And would this burst of stick-to-it-ive-ness be any different? Car trouble explained To learn a bit about this disconnect between desire and results, I spoke with Dr.

Timothy Pychyl, an associate professor of psychology at Carleton University who specializes in the study of procrastination. I asked him how and why I could have possibly allowed more than a decade to elapse between the time I set the goal to re-earn my licence and today. He responded by asking me what I meant by 'set a goal.' (Um, er, I dunno – it's been on my list.) According to Pychyl, when we are truly committed to getting something done, we are specific about the details (next Wednesday at 2 p.m., I will take my driver's test) as well as any required preparation (which means I will have to set aside Monday and Tuesday evening to study). Conversely, the perpetual putting-off cycle is what's known as intransitive preference, meaning that while we might always prefer to get something done in the hypothetical wasteland of 'tomorrow,' we will eventually realize that these short-term decisions to delay do not actually represent our ultimate preference (to be able to drive my car).

There is also the matter of priority, which explains why I have taken public transit in the pouring rain to pick up the new season of Damages on DVD, but can't seem to get it together to take a ridiculously easy test. 'It's obviously not actually that important to you,' Pychyl deduced. And he's right. There is a difference between knowing you should do something and actually wanting to do it. (I blame my enablers – a driving boyfriend, a centrally located home and the taxi industry.) Setting the stage for success Earlier this morning, I officially became licensed to drive (in the province of Ontario, with a chaperone, off the highway, between the hours of 5 a.m.
