Procrastination has become my greatest achievement!!! I really hate that I do it so much,

“Why do it today if I can put it off until tomorrow“ is my new motto. My mojo ran off somewhere.

i keep a running list of things i need to get/do. i look at that stupid list every day and think to myself "i'll do that tomorrow". "tomorrow" turns into the day after or maybe i can put it off till next week. "procrastination" is my middle name!

I am putting off procrastinating. I figure that God gave us husbands, relatives, friends who can help whittle down the "to-do" list. I don't need to procrastinate, I just need more help!

Yes, like right now when I'm enjoying the KT instead of starting on my 10,000 steps today!

I was supposed to meet a friend for,lunch but she had furnace problems and cancelled. Now i am sitting on the sofa doing nothing but thinking about what I should be doing.

Sometimes, I really have to force myself to run errands as it's not a favorite activity so I understand your procrastination. Hope your day goes well and you accomplish everything on your list.

Do I ever feel like this?

ALL the time.

I had a physical therapy appointment early today so I did that and went to get gas right nearby at Costco. It was minutes after 10 and the parking lot was already a zoo.

I went into a different supermarke to get a few of the things like extra vegetable oil and oh yes toothpicks ( imagine, we've actually only got like 10 left. time for a new bunch!).

Then I came home, and am on the computer again as you see.

I'm going to my daughter later to babysit for a school conference, so I will put everything off that I was going to do for Thanksgiving (except for mentally draining myself!!)-- until tomorrow. Then it's down to business.

You are not alone.:)

Welcome to the new normal 😃

I'm happiest when I'm at home - and so are a lot of people these days.

It's surprising how little you really need to accomplish in a day, a week, a month, a year...I used to be such a focused multi-tasker but since years of treatments for breast cancer and isolation because of Covid for so long, there's little urgency in much of anything except feeding ourselves and our dogs. I used to love shopping, even for groceries. I buy most everything on line now and don't have to leave the house.

Well, I got my run in but that's only because I run with a group of friends and you never want to be the one to cancel. But beyond that I get it. I need to get my flu shot, pick up some bread and send some emails. But procrastination has set in.

I am procrastinating big time today. This is not the week for anyone that does not "NEED" to go grocery shopping to even put a foot in a store. Of course, I want to go for odds and ends that are not immediate needs. Need to return the tv box to UPS but waiting until the afternoon because I slept late. After about 10:30 the place becomes packed with the lunch time crowd. Need to make a stop for dog food my woofer likes this week although I am aware next week she will not touch it.

I've always been a procrastinator. It took me half an hour to decide to get out of bed this morning....but...having said that....@ 6:30am I put a key lime cheesecake in the oven. 💕Then mended a pair of my husbands blue jeans. Then took the cat for a walk. Then drove to Home Depot where I purchased 3 bags of top soil and 4 bags of mulch. Then read half a book....for my book club.

I have found that getting my walk in, early in the day, sets the tone for the rest of my day. I try to leave the house, every day, no later than 8:30 am for my 3.5 mile walk. Then I do as many chores and errands as I can before lunch while I’m still high on endorphins.

After lunch, it’s anything goes. I might even take a nap.

Seen recently but will never find again, so here's what it looked like. A woman relaxed in a comfy chair, drink and book in hand, feet up: "Today I had a huge To-Do list. Now I have a huge To-Do list for tomorrow."

It's 6:30 and I still want to clean the bathrooms, dust, sweep and mop. Is it all going to get done? Highly doubt it. I went grocery shopping today it wasn't overly crowded.

Thanks for supporting me and making me laugh. I did get to the post office, supermarket, and UPS store. I also enjoyed a visit with my daughter and my grandson who had a half day of school today. Got home unpacked the groceries, tried a new cover on a patio chair, ordered covers for the other chairs, and ate leftovers since husband is at the riverhouse winterizing. I did cancel going to yoga class choosing instead to read in front of the fireplace. I have a reservation for yoga class tomorrow morning which will get me out of the house. I need to return several books to the library which I should have done today. My plan is to make several Thanksgiving dishes tomorrow afternoon or morning before yoga if I get up early.

And who's to say we're not doing enough? A lot of us feel a sense of guilt when we're not doing as much as we think we should. I've thought about this, talked about it with others, and I think there's a capitalistic element involved in the whole notion of being a productive person.

It's also so much easier and quicker to think about tasks then to actually do them, isn't it?

One tip I saw was to make a list, not just a to-do at the beginning of the day, but a list at the end of each day of what you've accomplished - and it's often more than I think. It sure makes me feel better.

I am SUCH a procrastinator. and it almost always comes back to bite me. It did today, in a few different ways. Now, I am even putting off being excited about something, because related things I procrastinated about might ixnay it.

I was born with the condition, though. My mother tells me I was more than just a few days late, and when I made my entrance I did it in a hurry. She barely made it to the hospital and to the delivery room.

Carol, often the thought that I am not doing enough with my time is at the back of my mind.

I do not know what I expect. I have been retired for almost 10 years and still have not settled into it. I really do not know what my expectations are. I want to be busy busy busy. I do not want to waste time.

I do reflect as Carol suggests. At the end of the day I mentally list what I did during the day and it helps to alleviate the feeling that I was not productive enough. I am wondering if this feeling of having to make every minute count is a sign of age.

At any rate, I am glad that there is camaraderie as a sometime procrastinator.
