I have always been a procrastinator. I discovered I do well under pressure and as a result find myself putting things off to the last minute and then rushing like a mad woman to get things done. I am sure my parents shake their heads and wonder where this trait came from.
My mother can get up and have 20 things done before most people have their coffee. While I can stare at a project thinking "I should get that done" and then think or I could do something else. "Else" wins more often. I look around my house at the many little projects I should do, but have yet to. It is not about having money or time to do them as most do not cost anything and I appear to have time. I would rack it up as lack of interest in doing them.
Now that we are getting later into fall I have no choice but to finish a couple exterior projects. Some will have to wait until spring but it is time to get a move on. So I challenge myself to complete 10 items before Christmas, I would post the list but I don't want you to fall asleep from the lack of thrill they involve.
Maybe next year, I will have a painting party and rally up everyone for a potluck and bring your paint brush to paint the exterior of my house. This way all the procrastinators and proactive people can unite while crossing an item off my list. Who knows maybe some of the productiveness may rub off on me...but don't get your hopes up.
