It's no secret that I'm a huge procrastinator. Which is weird, because it's not like I don't know how to get stuff done. I just... don't. And I think that what happened is somewhere along the way, I got into the habit of putting things off. Other people, they get an idea in their head, they do something about it. Me? I say I'll do it later.
And then of course it doesn't get done.
I started paying attention to my attitude towards getting things done and I realized wow, that little voice in my head says "I'll do it later" a LOT. Like, a LOT a lot.
I came across this article on Houzz the other day. Anyone who knows me would immediately ID me as a Naturally Not Organized person. What struck me was how that was related to my "later" problem and how THAT related to my complete disaster of a house. I was glad to read that there are others who have that same "later" voice in their heads, because sometimes I feel very alone as a disorganized person.
And like the author of the article, I've been trying to combat the "later." I like the "How about now?" words, I'm going to use them. Better than "Oh shut up and just pick it up already."
Which comes off as a bit rude.
So far, I seem to be able to stick with this behaviour in spurts, but when I slack off, everything just piles up again. I hate to blame my kids, but oh man, I'm fairly sure my house would be cleaner if they weren't around. I have a little 21 month old undo-er, after all. It's hard to keep up.
As for my crazy decluttering plan of 2014, we're more than half way through the year and I'm stuck around 1700 things. Vacationing in June didn't help, but mostly I've been slacking. I do have piles to give to people but have to move on it. Also - does anyone out there need a high chair?
