“Tomorrow is often the busiest day of the week.” ~Spanish Proverb
Today is the day to stop and fight procrastination
Okay, today I cannot procrastinate. There is no way, not today!
Every First Wednesday of September is ‘celebrated’ as Fight Procrastination Day. Today is the best day to get my acts together and start working on the projects or things I have been postponing for ever, today is the day to find ways to stop procrastination. I am already feeling good about myself….
There are many things I have been lazy about. I guess the best approach would be to make a list of all those tasks and attack them one by one without any further excuses.
First of all, cannot they come up with a smaller word? It takes for ever to type it…no wonder I am lazy about…you know this long word.
Anyways, without further delay, let me put together a list of things-to-do that have been sitting on the side for too long:
Exercise: I am always lazy about going to gym. I need to find a way to break this bad habit. But, I have been under the weather a little since yesterday. It is probably a better idea not to stress my body any more, and rest and relax. I will resume it as soon as I feel up to it, I promise, most likely by the week-end.
Organize the office: The things are all over the place in my office. The books, different gadgets, half full boxes of all kinds of stuff that I never emptied…. The drawers need organizing; there are cables all over. I need to get this going. Let us slate it for the week-end, because this could take some time.
Clean the garage: I cannot dare to start this one right now. I am not sure how long it will take, or what else I am going to stumble into in there. This is not one project, but many projects hidden under the mess. Need almost half day. So, may be this week-end. Yes, this week-end, for sure.
The garden fix-up:Need to trim the plants in the backyard; many areas need mulch and more weed control. I will certainly work on it once the weather gets better. It was so hot until last week, and now it is chilly all of a sudden. The week-end is supposed to be nice and sunny, so I can plan for then.
Organize the bills and papers: The mail and papers are every where – the kitchen table, living room, office and some even in the bedroom. This could get very time consuming, will do it first thing on the week-end.
Visit India: I have been delaying this for a while. This is the year, well may be around Christmas, if I get long enough break. Or next year for sure.
Okay, these are the main things. I have my list to fight procrastination:
