What're your bad habits?

Me too, kitty, I could have written your post...

I'm a wee bit of a control freak, according to feedback.

Also I pick up hobbies with great enthusiasm, and they never last. Hence the collection of dusty equipment cluttering the cellar - the running, dancing and Zumba shoes, the hula hoop and rebounder, the violin and guitar, the calligraphy book, the language tapes, the half-stitched tapestry. And the writing course that I took up over 30 years ago - apparently there's no time limit on finishing it, but I've only done the first module of sixteen.

Anybody else still bite their nails? I can grow them beautifully and they're very strong. but one snag and I'm in there nibbling. Then I nibble the others down to the same level....

Kittylester I can relate to your post, 5 children, large house, pets, work and after school clubs I had to be organised and in control.

AC has moved back home with GC and I am often reminded that they are a "grown-up" and can I please stop organising them/for them (not always politely!!!!)

I am trying really hard to take each day as it comes and "chillax" (GC and AC advice and favourite word ATM)

I am also practicing saying "no", as I find myself increasingly regretting committing to engagements whether they be social or just helping out someone.

I'm good at starting things, but not very good at finishing them.

I am a control freak and have self diagnosed OCPD. But my house and garden always look lovely and, as long as I have espied the escape route in any situation, I can appear perfectly normal.

Untidiness!

It's the bedroom that I can't keep tidy. I don't like to put clothes to wash for the sake of it, but don't aways want to wear the same things two days running. Also, depending on the weather and the different activities i'm doing, I might change outfits several times a day.

The thing is, I always have better things to do with my time than fold/hang up and put away all these clothes between 'wears', so they end up in a big, untidy heap on the floor, in the corner of the bedroom

i hate rubber gloves...got a list of items to do ,family history is my next big job ,all done but just needs writing out properly.clean the windows .general clean out and sell my valuable items on ebay...and get out more and go walking....

Not sure whether it can be seen as a habit exactly, but I am terribly pessimistic. I always expect the worst, see the bad outcomes before I can be persuaded there might be a good outcome. At least that way I only get nice surprises.

Nannylovesshopping- thanks for the laugh! ?

I have got into the bad habit of interrupting other people while they are speaking. I seem to have caught it from DH, but that really isn't any excuse, is it?

I go along with lack of motivation, I put things off to the very last minute and then end cursing myself for doing so, I also have anxiety and am constantly worrying and plagued with 'what ifs' Ohh and am terribly untidy - can never find anything

I find that being with people all day I need to unwind, so after doing my late-night admin I then come on GN or go on to a genealogy site and before I know it it's two o'clock in the morning and I'm creeping up to bed. I know I should go to bed at a reasonable hour, but I rarely do.

I'm a bit of a control freak. I don't mean that everyone has to do as I say but that I need to know that all is under control. If things are not 'sorted' I feel a need to sort them so keep coming up with suggestions whether anyone wants me to or not.

I think it was having 5 children, big house, big garden, dogs, cats, rabbits that all had to be organised by me but I never resorted to a Captain Von Trapp type whistle!

Annie we have something in common.I wont/cant let anyone tell me what to do.I'm an adult have a decent level of intelligence and am perfectly capable of running my life how I want to.I cant control anything else that gonig on the world much as I would like to but I can control my own life .

Good to see that we're all normal ! I can relate to many other things written here too. The great unfinished !
I was going to Asda an hour ago------see what I mean ?

Definitely Procrastination, I've a pile of ironing to do been sitting there for weeks but here I am on GN, reading this morning's paper, still got crossword & sudoku to do If it's nice this afternoon then I will be out in the garden, still the ironing will be there tomorrow, fine weather might not be

My Achilles heel is paperwork. Strangely enough I am otherwise tidy and organised. When seeking a document I always know which 'pile' it is in but hey...... when I have a blitz I'm overwhelmed with joy. Crazy woman!

My procrastination it's just shocking at times, I always remember my father saying "the spirit is willing, but the flesh is weak" about some task or other he should have been doing, definitely passed that characteristic on sadly Having said that I'm feeling slightly smug today having just rinsed out all manner of jars and bottles, soya, peri, peri, Worcestershire, spices etc. for recycling that were cluttering up my larder and fridge, some dating back to 2015 .................and I've done a pile of ironing, which leaves plenty of time for ......er procrastination other worthwhile tasks.

A real worry wart, way too bothered about what others think of me, want things done NOW as opposed to when DH gets around to them. I could go on...

Procrastination and general laziness.

Sometimes 'butterfly brain' helps me to get things done, though, as I do bits of several things simultaneously and feel as if I'm only doing little things.
Logical, it's not.

A need to control, not control other people, to have complete control over me . Doesn’t make sense I know, example - I have an eating disorder , the nutritionist tells me what to add to my diet, this to me means she is controlling what I eat. I know she is the expert but !

Getting up and getting dressed so late every morning. But then I don't have to do school run anymore, and I mean for children not grandchildren.

Procrastination, hence lost of lists of unfinished things to do and a Pinterest account of even more projects to start. See pile of unfinished items. When things actually get finished, usually to a deadline, I point out all the faults. ?Worst of all feeling smug on the rare occasion when I find something I can do better than my husband ( he is a perfectionist) ☺️

Eating chocolate in bed......??

And I am a hypochondriac.
