Procrastination

[Tilly2]

When I was at work, I was efficient, capable and on on top of the game. If a task needed doing, it would go on a list and get done and ticked off.

Now, because there's always tomorrow, I put things off.

Today, I made myself do something that has needed doing for the last six months. It was a chore but I did it and I felt so much better, having completed the task.

I'm going to start making lists again. That's the real me.

Are you a list maker, or a procrastinator?

[ferlew]

Deff lists.
In fact I am a multi lister, I have the same one in the 3 main rooms I use,

[dunnitall]

A bit of both for me Tilly, if only I could be perfect lol.

I'm a listmaker. I have to put everything in my diary, so i remember everything.

[murraymints]

Nope..not me..I just do it...I often wake up ...look about me ...and out with the paint and brushes...! I just decide and do !!

[Captain2]

I'll answer tomorrow if that's alright, or if I remember.

[Prudie]

I'm a terrible procrastinator and I hate myself for it.

[Tilly2]

When you have tomorrow, things don't seem so important.

It just seems to be a waste.

List maker. A sad one! If I do something that was not on the list, I add it on and cross it off.

[woofgang]

Depends....sometimes a list helps, sometimes it just makes me feel incompetent and worse.

[Tilly2]

jakep, I used to do that!

[DaisyNonna]

Depends if I have a reason. Then I will enthusiastically make a list and enjoy ticking off what is completed. Say organising an event or holiday.
Dusting, vacuuming, definitely a procrastinator.

[Tilly2]

I used to make a list, in my diary, of all the things I had to do tomorrow. It was a nightly ritual. I would tick of the day's tasks and add tomorrow's.

Now, I have a diary and often forget to look in it!

Procrastination
Nice word, would love to know what it means. I think I will google it... when I get the time!

Life in the slow lane Tilly x

[tonyav]

I procrast about making lists.

[EcclesCake]

I'll get back to you on that one......

[Tilly2]

Exactly, sibs. xx

I do get mad with myself though, for putting things off. I used to do the worst jobs first, to get them out of the way. Now I leave the worst 'til last and feel a sense of dread about them looming.
Stupid, I know.

You can actually find your diary?
Memo to self. Add finding diary to list of things to avoid doing.
