Procrastinating...

[FreshTressa]

Right now I am procrastinating everything. I have SOOO much to do, that it is easier to just sit here and not think about it. Anyone else ever do this??

What do you procrastinate doing?

I procrastinate when I have papers to write. I usually do well but it is so hard to get rolling!

I want to reply to this.... but not now. Maybe later.

CONSTANTLY!!!!

There are times when I feel so overwhelmed that it paralyzes me. I have to work extra hard to just pick one thing and start on it. Sometimes I put all the tasks on little slips of paper and then blindly pick one! Sometimes I set the timer and work on each thing for just 10 minutes and then move on to the next thing.

Sometimes I give up and figure I'll start tomorrow!

I used to procrastinate so much, that my "to-do" list became a spreadsheet that was 3 pages long!

However, I was blessed with the opportunity to take 4 months off this summer, and I'm all caught up! Ok, almost. Still gotta tackle last year's taxes...ugh...they owe ME, so I ain't worried.

I now find myself considering procrastinating something, and to cure it - I drop what I'm doing and just "get it done" right now.

I ask myself, "ok, just HOW much time will it really take?"

The answer usually gets me off my butt. And if it's something HUGE, I use the "baby-steps" method. A little here, a little there, and before ya know it, it's done!

Too tired? Need a nap? Make some tea, or spring for some of that Starbuck's "Doubleshot"!!! Works for me, everytime.

I don't know if it's being completlely overwhelmed or procrastination. I think they go hand in hand for me! Ever since the children, I've had this affliction!
