There is NO logic to this!

It is how I’m approaching every thing at the moment Phoenix .
There will be days when I know that I won’t feel like doing anything , let alone the the things that have to be done . I am therefore harnessing any energy and enthusiasm that I do have and getting on with doing stuff when I can . A bit
like a personal stockpiling or a rainy day fund .

Should have been "especially" not " expect"!

Yes, I suppose you are all right, expect NotaGran55, I was in the mood to do it today, but didn't have to.

Tomorrow I would have had to it, and may well have resented it!

So, swede cooked, mashed, and ready to be popped in the oven (was a tad concerned that it might be a remake of "The Swede That Wouldn't Die" but Mr P have it a jolly good seeing to!) Cauliflower cheese made, beef roasted.

I don't usually cook the beef the day before, but have found with supermarket stuff, cooking it to rare the day before, then slicing and heating in a dish of decent gravy made from the juices, it does improve it a bit.

Habits are hard to break. If you are used to getting things done because there will be more jobs to do tomorrow then difficult to break that mindset.
None of us are used to not going anywhere, not seeing our families and having lots of time on our hands.

Wrong way round EllanVannin never do today what you can put off until tomorrow grin

Never put off 'til tomorrow what you can do today---or something like that.

Is it because you like to get things done, Phoenix instead of them lurking at the back (or even the forefront) of your mind?
I know that procrastination is a great fault of mine and when we've got through this (if I'm spared) I will try not to put things off today because I may not be able (or allowed) to do them tomorrow.

Because you feel like doing it today and tomorrow you might not ?

Hello all, hope you are staying safe and well.

Can anyone explain why I am spending quite a bit of time cooking stuff today, so that I don't have to do it tomorrow? confused

After all, it's not as if I have anything pressing to do tomorrow, or anything at all for that matter, except 10 minutes of making a fool of myself dancing in the street at 11am.blush
