Procrastination! What are you avoiding today?

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

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!

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

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?

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!

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.

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

I am sorry, and I know that feeling well.

Moment, not monet...

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

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

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.

Well, at last I have completed the task I was avoiding, by making up the spare room beds, after washing the linens on Monday. I had been ignoring them all week, but done now.
Thing is, the beds look so inviting it was very tempting not to jump in, however, I resisted.

Going food shopping I hate it! It’s my day off and a waste of my day! There I’ve said it I better go now!

Oh they look delicious!
I love tomatoes, but I've never stuffed one, and never plan to.

I’ve just made stuffed tomatoes and stuffed peppers. The last of the beef tomatoes from the garden I used steak mince and onion cooked in pan with herbs and oxo cubes .
Does anyone else stuff tomatoes?

Regarding procrastination, my mother always said that my name should have been mañana!

Quarterly reports [again], but this time trying to nail it down so there's just one method. Every bl##dy time it seems to change.

My assistant will have to do next quarter as I'm due a hip replacement next month. Got to get this right for him.

Well, I fell asleep, so I still managed to procrastinate, albeit in a sneaky way.

I cant even remember how it happened, but I wasted the whole evening, my washing is still out, and nothing got done.

Tomorrows another day, I guess.

I’m a terrible procrastinator, but I have a management strategy for it or nothing would get done. I use a kitchen timer, and have three things on the go at a time. Today it was deleting emails, filing and dealing with paperwork, and laying mulch on the Bank of Doom at the end of my garden, which is weedy, steep, and hard on my legs and back. 15 minutes each thing in rotation. I’ve got a short concentration span, so this works far better for me than having one mountainous task.

Homemade soup and bread is a million miles from shop bought and healthier.

Anyway, I assumed this thread was lighthearted.

agree

Oh, sorry!

No offence taken. X

Glorious hot here, once it got going, sometimes it has to be a seize the day, we just up sticks and headed for the coast about 15 miles away, there, there is a very busy cafe, with tables and chairs right on the beach where we had an enjoyable couple of sun soaked hours staring at the sea, having a light lunch and glass of wine. I didn't give a passing thought to ironing or anything else that needed doing, it can all wait, the forecast for the next few days is a bit rainy.

How lovely though foxie - I love Italy and Rome is perfect in September!

It was beautiful and the weather, apart from the last day, was gorgeous. First visit to Rome and we (went with my daughter) thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. it's such an interesting city.

Procrastination! What are you avoiding today

Cooking dinner.
Sorting out this s***ing car insurance
Finishing a craft project

I think I'm an enthusiastic starter but a bored finisher 🙂

All done, and supper is on the hob ready for later, just a 20 min workout.
The dog in our care had his second walk and I’ve got a cuppa and a few minutes before I get the weights out and fling myself around!

aonk Homemade food is part of my routine, I do not like shop bought bread or soup, it’s far healthier and very simple to make my own and freeze.
We have a healthy diet avoiding UPF’s as we would like to stay fit and healthy for as long as possible.
Other than the odd Waitrose dine in we cook everything from scratch.
I appreciate I am lucky to be able to do this.

As for dividing the list, work will always be the priority anything else I get done is a bonus.
