I have set things to accomplish housework-wise for each day of the week (Monday is laundry & bathrooms, Tuesdays are garbage, Wednesday is dusting, Thursday is vacuuming). I try to get those done in the morning or right after both kids go down for nap at 1 and then I have the rest of the afternoon to work for money. So today I: - did 3 loads of laundry. the 4th is in the washer. - cleaned both toilets and sinks/countertops. tub washing is for the birds and the times when we have company coming to stay. :) - emptied the dishwasher and the hand-wash stuff out of the sink and reloaded the dishwasher. - called the cops on the guy who drives down my road at 5:45 every morning doing 90 on his crotch rocket. he's gonna kill himself (bad) or someone else (worse) one of these days. - went to the outlet mall and bought 2 pairs of capris and 2 pairs of shorts, with 2 kids (and my mom) in tow. I think there is more, but I am forgetting it now. I try to do this to some extent every day.

Working full time I find it much harder getting everything I need done. I guess I need to pick a day like you did. Smiles!

It seems like such a monumental task some days. I get the basket into the bedroom and then.... I just can't seem to get anything put away. And then I force my own hand .... I finally pour the clothes on the bed, knowing I will need to got to bed sometime and I will HAVE to put the clothes away. And the task I had made so monumental takes me all of 10 minutes.... Reminds me of a quote I learned a while back (sorry, can't come up with the author) that has frequently been proven true, at least in my life... The anticipation of a thing is often far greater than the thing itself. That applies to both good and bad... Sheila, you are an awesome inspiring force! Keep it up!

I try to remember that fact when I'm putting something off and making it seem like an "it will take forever" task. It does feel good to get things done!

When I accomplish things that I’ve been procrastinating about, they almost always get done faster than I had thought they would, which is why I was procrastinating on doing them in the first place!

I try to remember that fact when I’m putting something off and making it seem like an “it will take forever” task.

It does feel good to get things done!

Once you're down there it'll be silly not to do a couple more. Then the next time it'll just be a few more feet! Or you could just do the one part and then save the next part until later. I always do my floor in parts! Barbara- You're quite welcome! You've been a big help moving me in the right direction and keeping me motivated! Lance- Yeah! Just do it is right!! Feels so good.

And, today ended up being one of those days where I just got a lot accomplished. It all started with a breakfast meeting that really just set the day into the right motion. So, how appropriate that at the end of the day I end up here - and read about ... an anti-procastination day! That's too cool!! I need to do this more often - you've inspired me to make it a regular practice. In the words of Nike, "Just Do It". I like the look here! And good luck on your ventures with MommyMD. Procrastination – one of my nemesis’s.
