This post is inspired by Great Grandma Lynda (GGMA) who pointed out what a big procrastinator she is. (look out GGMA I am calling you out on it!) Well honestly...who isn't? And if you aren't one then I think you are amazing. However lets be realistic. I am sure everyone has some part of their life that they push aside by choice or that there are just not enough hours in a day (usually my issue). Β Im all for living before cleaning or doing something you hate but sometimes we just have to buckle down and get it done. My word for 2013 is Balance. You may have seen my post about it awhile back but its my sorta new years resolution. Just finding balance in my life. So for me this is what helps me NOT procrastinate. I take out my trusty new weekly planner that I bought (See post here) and I plan out my week/month as needed. Each day I break up into morning/day/night and I fill it in. This is to help me eliminate stress and help me realize there are only so many hours so you have to break it down, split it up and tackle one thing at a time. Its the only way I can do it right now. What is technically my slow time of the year has been super chaotic. So no slow for me this year. Instead I will balance my days and GET IT DONE! Β Please notice I did say that all this "helps" me not procrastinate. Does not mean that Im perfect. Ha! It still happens. Another advice is on the 1st of each month write a few "goals" or "ideas" of things you would like to do. This will keep it in your mind and hopefully you will want to check it off the list so you will find time to fit it in. I love checking stuff off a list....makes me feel good. Ill admit I have added items to my list just so I could cross it off if it was not already on it. ha ha! Need the sense of accomplishment at my fingertips. No more procrastinating GGMA! This is your kick in the butt and little bit of advice! LOL Anyone want to share their tips on how to procrastinate less? Love to hear em...
