"Procrastination is alot like masterbation. It seems like a good idea in the begining.
But in the end your really just screwing yourself"
I have to say that I have often owned the procastination title proudly. Not that its a good thing. But that I can rock procrastinating like the rock star that I am.
From everything in my life, I have procrastinated. And I have found that I am quite at ease working under pressure. From cooking dinner, I wait until 20 minutes before we want to eat, to start a 1 hour dinner. (yes it's not always as glamorous of a meal when I cram in defrosting time in there too)
I don't clean up after meals. I wait till the next meal time, to wipe off the tables, and counters. It's annoying and makes it so I don't want to cook. I am seriously working on this issue of mine.
I often have classes in my home, I am a Stampin' Up! demonstrator (if you want more to see what we are about click HERE) AND I swear after 5 1/2 years of doing this, you would think I would have my classes done ahead of time. NO WAY! I have classes on Wednesdays, and usually I start on Monday's, which really mean Tuesday's, and sometimes Wednesday's right before class.
Sigh. It's stressful, and I seem to work best under pressure, I make great cards, and scrapbook pages, BUT I have to ONLY work, and doing that with NO kids, is hard for a SAHM who's DH works 3 jobs. So not my best idea to wait till days before class. I would love to fix this issue of mine.
On the other hand I have been better at swaps. Each month I attend a Stampin' Up! meeting, with my upline, downline, and sideline friends. We share and swap cards with each other. AND those are every 3rd Monday of every month. I often wait till Sunday night to work on these! I finished mine Friday for tomorrows meeting though. Progress was made there!
I wait till 1 hour before we have to leave for a day trip to somewhere. And let me tell you, it's a BAD idea. I mean getting myself ready is a good hour on it's own (shower, hair, make-up, purse, outfit) then to get the kids ready. Sigh... it's a process I have learned to NOT procrastinate on. It's getting better.
I wait on everything!
Putting the kids to bed 8 minutes before my show is on? Sure, putting an almost 2 and 4 year old to bed in 8 minutes is easy! Riiiiggghhttt. So I miss the first 20 minutes of my show...
I have a slight issue with not eating, my blood sugar gets low, and I get all stabby and psycho around people. If only I would eat lots of little meals!!
I attempt to diet 2 weeks before the weather breaks. So I have had January, February, and now March to shake some of this fat off my ass, and I have instead gained 6 pounds. Yes it's that depressing. Maybe next year? Or how bout now? I mean I still don't have to be in a swim suit to jiggle in front of the neigbors for about 2 more months. So maybe a bit of weight loss? I had the bathtub conversation with myself again.
I guess, what I am trying to do is write this all out, and maybe I will reread this and see that it get's me no where fast to procrastinate like I do.
I have so many great ideas in my head. Like we all do. I love this book called "FIVE" it's on where I will be five years from now. I mean I have been dreaming of having my own store. Full of handmade stuff, from my ugly sock monsters, to aprons, and jewelry. I have BIG dreams of all the fun things I could sell, and thought of having an Etsy shop first.
I even set a date of starting the Etsy shop by next January. Which means I need to make stuff this year, and start next year. I also dream of having my said store by the time I am 40. Being that I am 31 and a half, means I have to get my ass in gear.
I mean do I really want to go through life half assed like I am?
Don't get me wrong, I love my life, my kids and family.
But there are things I need to change. I NEED to eat healthier, I want to live to 106, and be one of those witty and still with it old people. So I need to mentally challenge myself too.
I want to show my kids to follow their dreams, so if all I do is ramble here on blogger about them, how will they be motivated to follow there dreams themselves?
In good news, I have been trying to clean up after myself, today is the 3rd day of a picked up house, having a shiney sink, and doing laundry. I need to start scheduling time each day for the art room. For creating not just for classes, but to work on my own dream.
(speaking of the dream, since we are SUPER broke, and on a INSANE budget, I am saving every scrap of clothing, to make my stuff with. I think it will give an edge to my creations.)
Here's to a new me.
A less procrastinating,
more productive,
less cluttery,
more organized,
less lazy,
more inspired me.
