A riddle.

I know that I can do it if I really try,
It is difficult I say with a very deep sigh.
A thing that others can do with ease,
I do not have to get down on my knees.
For me it is a problem that I must do,
Just keep on trying, see it through.
It is more of a chore, that I can see,
Like anything else that affects me.
It has got to be done, this we all know,
But why am I so terribly slow?
To put it off until another day,
Just think of what the neighbours will say.
Make one last effort to get it done,
Done before the going down of the sun.
I wrote this riddle early this morning,
Just as the day was finally dawning.
If you know the answer, please let me know,
So that I can do it before I get too slow.
