I am procrastinating and need to stop!

Procrastination is my middle name.

And mine.

Leave it till tomorrow to worry about it.

I also procrastinate a great deal .
Today I've been to church again to sort put the flowers then ended up at the lunch.
The house needs sorting ....
The garden needs weeding ....

Thanks agnurse but my reason is being CBA/bone idle. I’m procrastinating and need to start! 😁

A couple of tips:

1. Break it down into smaller tasks. This way it isn't so massive.

2. Start with the smallest, easiest to accomplish task. Then move to a slightly more complex one. This gives the reward center in your brain a dose of dopamine, increasing your motivation.

(We suspect that I have ADHD, which can contribute to procrastination. These are some tips I've found online to help people with ADHD with task paralysis.)

I nearly finished sorting out the weedy greenhouse this morning but it finally defeated me as it was so hot in there.

So now I'm lounging around, thinking about sorting out a complicated (to me) crochet pattern.

I need to declutter too.
But here I am procrastinating 😀

Procrastination is the thief of time. Apparently.

We had a significant anniversary and told our daughters and their families we didn't want presents, but would like them to help us do some death cleaning. They would have to do it eventually and I said it would be better that the majority was done now, while they are younger.

So, we are tackling the loft and garage in a few weeks time.

Procrastination is my middle name.

I’m a queen of procrastination, but at the moment I’m trying a new to me tactic. My three most hated tasks at the moment are the garage, clearing the bank at the bottom of my garden, and admin tasks (which a perennial bete noire). I’m forcing myself to do 10 minutes of each of them every day. I’m using a timer so I’ve got no excuse. It’s painful, but for 10 minutes I can put up with it, and it’s a bonus if I overrun and do a bit more.

Same as georgesgran - the loft !

The Loft!!!

I’ve been going to sort it out for the past year! Last week, I promised to get the ladder down to see what was actually in there - still haven’t done it and there’s absolutely no excuse!!
