Procrastination

Okay, I have come to the end of my ropes and realize that I just need to get through these final weeks of school and work! There is WAY TOO much on my mind that I'm getting a bit frustrated. I truly am one that does not "try" to procrastinate but this past weekend I did and it hit me like a brick wall on Monday morning.

My weekend was so chaotic - First Communion weekend within the Catholic Church. Well, I had one that I needed to attend in the Madison area on Saturday evening and then to Elkhart Lake on Sunday afternoon. With the time frame and traveling involved I chose to stay overnight Saturday at my brother's house in Sun Prairie. It was a nice weekend and the kids had fun too. However, the preparation for just being gone two days drove me nuts! Chasing around for the cards and gifts, attending a Friday evening event at my son's school, making sure all laundry was done prior to leaving, and then doing laundry again once I got home at 6:30 Sunday evening. Besides that, my husband did not go grocery shopping for me - my most hated chore in the world! When do I catch a break?

I felt pretty good by the time I went to bed Sunday evening and accomplishing what I needed to do. Wait! Monday morning came and that is when it hit me! My goal was to do my blog entry for last week on Sunday evening when I came home. Needless to say, my procrastination didn't work in my favor. Does it ever? I FORGOT MY BLOG ENTRY! No need for sympathy Azor! This was brought upon by me and now will suffer the consequences. Has anyone else ever forgot this just due to a busy schedule? Probably not - just me!

As you can see I'm moving forward and getting the blog posted immediately for the week. No more putting things off. I need to get things done, stay focused, positive and move in the right direction. Live and learn from mistakes has always been a motto for me to follow. Believe me I have learned from many mistakes in my life! Can't beat myself over the head - not worth it!

  1. The word for today is pressure not procrastination. I did put things off this weekend due to the nice weather...why couldn't it of rained all weekend like last weekend. So now I am feeling the repercussions of procrastination. Sitting in front of the computer for hours on end looking for the peer reviews, scholarly, and whatever key words for that annotated bib. we need by Tuesday. Boy I really hope I can get this all done. Don't you...Anna? The light is in sight but too far away yet.
