Procrastination Champion!!

24 Jan 12

How long can you put something off before your conscience bothers you?

For me, it seems to be about 3 or 4 months. Yes, I have excuses, but if you judge me by my results, I’ve fallen a bit behind in my commitments.

The great clear out, my Scotland FreeCen tasks, my blog — all last got action from me in about October.

The very fact that I have signed on today to post something lends credence to my stated intention to do better.

I re-read my post about Eat That Frog (overcoming procrastination tendencies) and here I am. (Thank you, thank you.)

I gave away two bags of clothes to charity this month, and I have some 1871 Scotland census forms to check.

How about you? Is there anything important you’ve been putting off?

Clear-out – Day 13

Here I am again. At the moment I am shredding old journals. I know, I know, someone may want to read them one day after I’m gone. That’s just TOO embarrassing to contemplate, so I’m shredding them. Every now and then I glimpse at what I wrote 20, 30 years ago, and cringe. So I’m [...]

Clear-out – Day 12

I decided to give myself a break. Any day that I work on The Great Clear-out I now count as the next day. So even though there have been a few (quite a few, really) days between my last post and this one, today I’m making forward progress, so it counts as the next day. [...]

Clear-out – Day 11

CD’s are done! Well, as good as. dh has a collection in his office that he’s agreed to cull this week. More than half the CDs got an offer from MusicMagpie, and the really great thing is that because I had more than 50, they’ll provide a free courier pick-up. I pack and use their [...]

Clear-out – Day 8,9 and 10

I got caught up in a task that’s taking a LOT longer than I’d planned for. The trouble with getting rid of CDs is that there are three places where I still use them, although only occasionally. In the kitchen In the car On holiday If I can get a system for each of these [...]

Clear-out Day 6

I love charity bags. Here in the UK, people drop off plastic pags at your door, with a day marked when they will come back around to collect. The word might be out by now that I’m having a clear-out, AND that I’ve lost quite a bit of weight and am donating old clothes. The [...]

Clear-out – Day 5

The next thing in my sights is the sideboard in our living room. We use it to hold all sorts of stuff, and I’m going to clean it out and maybe get rid of it. I say ‘maybe’ because I have a sentimental attachment. It’s an English sideboard that I bought while I lived in [...]

Clear-out – Day 4

I love watching television. I especially like to watch an entire new season of a series, one episode right after the other. Right now I’m in season 2 of Ghost Whisperer. In the spring, while DH was away, I was watching Season 1 of House (don’t you love to hate him?). The TV went off, [...]

Clear-out – Day 3

The bathroom drawers got a turning out today. There are 7 drawers there, three large and four small. The oldest thing was some Bonine (anti-motion sickness) I bought in Costa Mesa California when I lived there. I moved away in 1994. The oddest thing was a complete plaster set of teeth moulds. I decided to [...]
