Procrastination

I recently had a conversation with a friend and coworker that procrastination is something that you are born to do (or not to do). The more I think about it.......the more I think we are right.

(Of course we are. How could we not be? We are teachers, and moms, and women :) )

I have ALWAYS wanted to be a person that does things right away as soon as they are assigned, but no matter how good my intentions are, everything is last minute.

Lately, about the only thing I don't procrastinate on is... I better stop right there because if I don't the sentence will become a lie.

So, here is my list of things that have been put off because of my terrible habit of procrastination--I am hoping to get them done within the next month...I will make sure to update often. :)

1. Get all pictures into one spot in my house. No not organizing at this point yet, just all into one spot. I am going to pick for that spot to be in the makeshift office we have in our basement.
2. Clean out the laundry room. It really is a terrible job, isn't it?
3. Organize Larkin's drawers. Ugh.
4. Get a pedicure! (Yay!)
5. Clean out the garage stuff that has been there since we moved in. Part of me doesn't even want to open the bags/boxes/totes and just throw, but part of me doesn't either!
6. Match up the DVDs with their cases.
7. Take all my old college text books to Goodwill. I haven't looked at them since I graduated. Why have they moved four times with me?? Plus, we are at the nine year mark. Pretty sure they are outdated.

Well, I better stop there. Now I am just sitting here thinking of other things I should do, but really can't thing of things in particular. Another procrastination moment....

I wonder if they can do hypnosis for procrastination. I will have to google that right away because it is very important.

I will let you know what I find out.

  1. They DEFINITELY do hypnosis for procrastination. It totally worked for me (which is probably why I became a hypnotherapist specializing in procrastination and self-sabotage <---Shameless Plug Alert!!)

    I agree with you that we're born to do it, by the way. Undoubtedly. And there's a ton of reasons TO do it (and so few not to, so why wait . . . procrastinate now, I say)

    Happy Mother's Day to you as well. Take care.
