hello friends
Is there any thing really you wanted to do but afraid would never get to do. Some times, I seriously think of doing some special dish for my children. But suddenly I will get some phone call or good TV programmes in which i will be involved very much and totally I don't find time to do my dish. Again the next day, the same thing but some other reason. In this way, every day I will get some excuses and I will never get to do my things. What about you?

Hello Vathsala. I have tried to do things but never get the time to do them. Been trying to fix a dresser we have but I have been waiting on getting the electricity fixed in the garage I don't ever think it will get done.....LOL Of course it will but have been waiting on my mother in laws husband to come over and fix it. But he is slower then a turtle and he keeps saying he will get to it. I have been thinking I would make him a wooden round circle and put on it round to it....LOL So he will have a round to it. Oh well maybe next year I will get that dresser fixed.

Hi Vathsala. I didn't want him to fix the dresser I wanted him to fix the electricity in the garage so I can fix the dresser. No he never will either we have been asking him to fix it for over 2 years now. He is just plain lazy I guess. Thanks anyway. This spring I will take it out back and fix it there on the outside where we do have electricity.

Hi dear,
I may postpone the matter one or two time not more than that (lol). Then I may feel bad on my lack of determination so taking strong decisions and make it practical. But if I feel lazy then nobody can help me to finish my work my whole day will be upside down due to this bad habit. So I am trying my best not to become lazy.

Hi sree
I too think the same as you. If I can not able to do one particular work in a particular time, then I am afraid, I can not able to do it in anytime, the whole day. So as far as possible, I will try to finish my work, but sometimes due to some reasons, I can't

I want to visit my friends and relatives often, but somehow I hardly could do it as I am having some work or other to do.

Hi vijayanths
For me too this is the problem. Now a days, I am not finding any time to visit my friends and relatives house, because I always sit in front of my computer and spend my precious time in surfing some sites. So all my work will be accumulating and makes me feel lazy to do any work or go to any place. Thanks for responding

There are many things that I want to to but I still haven't had the chance. For example, I would really love to do bungee jumping. Once I was in an amusement park where there was supposed to be a "bungee jumping" attraction, but once I got to see it, it was completely dissapointing and of course didn't try it.

Hi madteaparty
If you are interested in bungee jumping, why can't you pursue your hobby? But I think it is too dangerous. you know, in our city, one youth tried his luck but lost his life. he was the only son to his parents. Really it is pathetic and heart rending incident.

Whenever I want to do something special i try real hard to do it but i just never get around to it. If i finally wanted to read that one good book or go somewhere with my friends i just never find the time to do it. Although if i really want to do something I dont hesitate and i just do it.

Hi alex
I think you are a hard worker and will try your best to achieve your goal. But man proposes and god disposes sometimes. But you don't let your heart loose. Once or twice, though you should fail, try, try again. One day you will do it. All the best

You are making me dig the dirty linen from my house one by one. Yes, I do want to or rather sincerely want to clear the junk from the house. But due to so many duties like cooking, marketing, other outside chores like Bank, Post office, coffee powder buying, repairing things to exchanging items, tailor, medical stores etc., then attending functions, encouraging children by attending their programmes, competitions, prize distribution ceremonies, looking after guests, in between going to library and reading those books, (got bored?), like this there is no end to my errands. Since my husband is partially handicapped and cannot go out, I have to attend to all the activities of the house. I cannot even ride a scooter or drive a car. So I can travel all by walk, bus and autorikshaw only. So everyday something or other creeps up and cleaning gets postponed. Today I am going to my second daughter's violine concert, married dauter coming home, so cleaning postponed to one more day.

Ha. It is really horrible to look after so many chores all by self and without help. You are really great. If I were in your place, simply I would have fainted by the imagination of the duties itself

Yes there are somethings that I want to do but never get it done because something else comes up and I never get to it. I will think of something I should have gotten done weeks ago and start it and then never get back to what I really want to do.

Hi happy
You are very true. Whenever we plan to do something and make all necessary arrangements for that, some hindrance or disturbances comes in between and we will not able to do that. Even I have experienced a lot. Thanks for responding

Hi neelima
I am also in the same boat. I will plan so many work but never do even a single one as I am so much involved and addicted with my computer with one site or the other and never think of doing my household work. And so all my work will be pending always

Hi deepa
We plan to do so many things and I even prepare a big list of it but due to diversion of my concentration, or involved in someother work, I can not able to complete all the work I have planned. When I sit in front of the computer, I will forget to see the time, and once I notice the time it will be too late and thus the planned work will be unattended.Thanks for responding

There are lots of things which we plan but are not able to do due to the work pressure or some other excuse. this way the work get delayed for a long period of time. from last one week , i am planning to iron my clothes but really could not get enough time to spend some time on it.

Hi bluray
You are very correct. Even I plan to do lots of things, but as the time passes of i will concentrate on some other work, which is not at all my priority and deeply involve myself in it, thus resulting in the lack of time for the main work and that work will be postponed. Thanks for responding

I am trying to find the time to do what I need to do. I am finding it is necessary. By procrastinating I am making a lot of pain for myself and others. But this is only my situation. Perhaps others could be in the situation too I don't know.

Hello vathsala. I have also encountered the same situation as yours. It seems to me that it lead by our poor self-contorl. It would better if we have a plain list. You can try it if you are interested in it. Have a good day!

Hi moneymommy
I think you will do all your work that is planned up and finish it up successfully. For me it never happens. At least some work will be pending for the next day. Thanks for responding. Bye
