I am a horrible procrastinator! Case in point the fact that i'm writing about everything I should be doing rather than doing it. I took a class once and learned that my procrastination problem is likely an addiction.....to adrenaline. Makes sense when you think about it, you wait till the last minute to do something then, get the rush of having to get it done. I also have another problem, even when I make deadlines for myself, if it doesn't affect others than odds are I will just not get it done, and then decide it wasn't that important anyways. If it does affect others than I usually get it done last minute but then it's not up to par, or at least where I wanted it to be. I'm actually working against myself because I have ADD, and a touch of perfectionism, nothing ever is as good as I would have wanted it, but I think that is because I am always throwing things together last minute. So how do I rectify this???
I am going to try something new, I am going to make a to-do list (I love list making!) a deadline for each thing on the to-do list and i'm going to share that to-do list with others so that I can have some accountability when that deadline comes so I don't sell myself short on my own expectations. I made this to-do list a couple weeks ago and have not made any definate progress. So here goes! This is my To-Do list before Baby Audrey arrives!
To be done by
May 23rd (week 1) Paint Kitchen
May 30th (week 2) Paint Hallway
(Plant Garden if it's nice enough & put up pool)
June 6th (week 3) Paint Bathroom
June 13th(week 4) Paint Girls' Room
June 20th(week 5) Paint Boys' Room
June 27th(week 6) Paint Our Room
July 4th (week 7) Stain Porch
July 11th(week 8) Paint Trim Outside
That will get me to a little over 2 wks from due date so I should be safe! This may not seem like much, but the completion of these things will mean my house (excluding basement) will be done! Also I gave myself a week for each because I have lots going on with Girl Scouts, Delilah's Dance, and well just having 3 kids!
Anyone feels like helping, i'm sure I can find something! :) This baby is coming fast I can't believe im 30wks next week.....whoa!!!!
