Overcoming Procrastination

[di]

I find that its easier to start a job rather than think about it, then when you are fed up of that job, start another job, and so on. Its a typical male trait.

Also, I find that when I have started a job and have a drill in my hand, that there is always a list from the other half of the jobs that I haven't finished, that need to be done prior to me finishing the job I have just started.

I think I might be a bloke.

Sadly I never do today what I can put off till tomorrow! Having said that I did in half an hour something that has taken me nearly two months to 'get round tuit!'

Now where did I put that darn round tuit?

I am not quite sure what the word means I will have to look it up in the dictionary when I get round to it, maybe tomorrow or the next day. I will get back to you in the ...........urm future.

Definitely in the 'making lists IS procrastination' camp here, and I'm a real expert (at procrastination, not lists..)!
I once came across the idea that if you do only the urgent things, other things either cease to need doing at all (usually someone else does it) or they BECOME urgent, so you do them then. An appealing idea, but not entirely workable.

Now where did I put that darn round tuit?

I've got it! After 14 months of dithering, today I finally sorted out someone to put me up a 6ft back fence and gate, and cut down a tree in the front garden. I'm chuffed with myself and am going to do nothing for the rest of the evening on the back of that!

A friend of mine had a wonderful saying 'if you can do it tomorrow then why bother today'

They were down the back of the sofa

Because if you do it today and find it's fun, you can do it again tomorrow!
