So as I planned I am beginning my search to understand why procrastination happens and how I can make changes that will make me set proper goals and stop procrastinating. I like to start with a good definition. I do not believe you can solve a problem that you cannot identify.
“the action of delaying or postponing something”
And now some synonyms “dithering · delaying tactics · dilatoriness · stalling · temporizing · hesitation · vacillation · humming and hawing · dilly-dallying · shilly-shallying · kicking the can down the road”
Well, now it is named and how on earth am I going to approach eliminating or at least make it happen less in my little world. I think I tend to procrastinate the things I don’t truly enjoy doing even if I know they are important. Perhaps I need to break it down to a matter of one thing at a time and set some time limits.
The spice rack seems to be the thing that everyone is concerned about right now. So I guess that is a good place to start. So I am going to gather my tools and then set a timer for 20 minutes and see where I am at… Yes I need encouragement and feedback on my procrastination journey.
I do often wonder why we put things off. Sometimes, we do so at our own peril. They, the projects pile up and wait for us.
It can be painful!
never put off until tomorrow what you could postpone to next week…
Oh Alex, that is the habit I am familiar with! Love it.
honestly, I try to be proactive but when you get a full schedule some things get postponed
Procrastination is like my middle name …
but well, it’s a good start by understanding the “enemy”
It’s good to know that I am not alone.
My husband is King of the Procrastinators.
That’s great news, maybe that will help you understand me lol!
