Procrastination! What are you avoiding today?

Washing windows. The sun is now at an angle that I can see every smear, fly shit and cobweb that I've been trying to ignore. Meh ....they'll wait.

I hope your app. was not today and you sound like you couldn't be bothered someone else could have been seen 😡

Everything! The house is in a mess and it could with dusting and wiping down, I just have no mental energy to do it, we've personally had a really awful couple of years and I am stuck and I know I should do these things but just can't. I might just get dressed and get in the car and drive away, that's how I fell at the monet.

Ironing, - I went to our House Of Fraser closing down sale instead😅😅

Moment, not monet...

If procrastination was an Olympic sport I’d win gold 🤣

Sounds as you're having a bad time of it.

I am sorry, and I know that feeling well.

Tonight when I finish work at 6 and home about 6:30 I have some DIY to do. But I can't be bummed! I've had my single flimsy wardrobe for years and it's finally snuffed it so I was thinking of buying a new wooden one but decided to buy one of those adjustable clothes rails with the all over covers! Much quicker and easier to assemble! It's in the box in my bedroom waiting patiently!

Putting up a couple of shelves in the livingroom can wait until Monday 23rd when I have a day off!

Me too!

I haven't yet started grandchildren's bread for after school tea. I did make jam. Perhaps backing away from reading might help?

My son is visiting next month with his new (to me) girlfriend. I have everything to do! Once I start, I get on with things. It's the starting that I'm hopeless at!

My legs are feeling better today, so I've no excuse.
I'm off to do a couple of things...

Lizzy. …that’s not till next month, no rush!

I used to be a dreadful procrastinator. I have found the only cure is to JFDI* (immediately) It's hard but it does work! Well most of the time
* Just F** do it
(I can't remember where I got that vulgar expression from !)

Thing is, the beds look so inviting it was very tempting not to jump in, however, I resisted.

😄😄 I always feel like that after making the bed.

Still not started packing. MrA is already packed!!

Car insurance renewal. Since Mr C turned 80 every year seems to be think of a number and double it.

I hadnt realised that - ie re car insurance shooting up at 80. Is that a common thing?

You’ll have to get on with it, he might go without you 😂

Avoiding washing floors today, I could have done it twice /thrice over if I hadn’t been browsing GN MN and Amazon.

I think (or my excuse is.....#cough) that procrastinating partly comes from there's many fewer "new" type things to do as one gets older. One has pretty much done all the "new places/new people/new things to do" stuff one is likely to imo. I was going to do a Open University degree (just to prove I could basically) when I retired - but, as soon as I realised that a lot of qualifications had been "devalued" and, though about 5% of people are capable of University/used to go and it's now a case of about 45% of other people are going as well and coming out with a piece of paper saying "degree" I think "What's the point? I wouldn't be proving anything" and I know Open University courses are a much more reasonable price in Wales than they are these days in England (I have no idea why....). So I keep procrastinating rather than doing "more of the same as usual" - except I am now doing odd bits and pieces of "Swedish Death Cleaning" (if only so that I can find things quicker myself - rather than thinking "Do I own a such-and-such?" before checking to see if I do).

Beechnut 😁 I could procrastinate for another week then 😁

The GYM.
After spending 7hundred pounds on a year's membership I have only been 5 times. I feel guilty every day. So I eat some chocolate. Will go tomorrow.....

Shopping for DD38’s birthday present. I’m meeting DGS7 from school and taking him to get something too, he usually chooses a scarf or a candle in her favourite colours. I won’t get clothes or toiletries, she’s very fussy and I seldom get it right with homeware, she’s not a keen gardener. Probably a bottle of something, and a houseplant.

Procrastination is the thief of time.

\i could procrastinate for Wales!!!!

I don’t know where to start my housework as everything needs doing so I’m just sitting here on my phone. Must really look into travel insurance and shop around for a chopping board/butchers block. Or might it wait until Monday …

Large expanse of glass to be cleaned in the conservatory but, the fairies must have heard me moaning!!, as GD said (2 days ago!!) "I will do them tomorrow" and again today "can't do them today, or Saturday, will do them on Sunday"!! Think I will shut the blinds and forget about it until 'tomorrow' comes!! At least I HAVE got the vacuum out but, so far, no inclination to plug it in and push it!!
