Some more work for me to do.

I have done things like this also. I always take on more than I can handle. I started painting inside the whole house this year. I still have the ceilings to finish when the new year gets here. I work seven days a week also.

I know the feeling about this one all too well. We just moved into our house a few months ago and now I am not liking the way that we have the furniture set up. I want to move it around but there is far too much normal housework that has to be done. When I decide to undertake a project, I completely focus on that job and then don't worry at all about the other things that need to be done in the house. I tend to develop a sort of tunnel vision. That is why I've decided that I am not going to take part in any projects until I get the general housework caught up and ahead in the house.

hi@jugsjugs haltley here wow you sound like you have bit off a bit more than you can chew, but remembering yoy and how you did get thihgs done I bet you will get it all done eventually do take care though anmdr est for awhile i hoped you were on the new my lot. lol.

Yeah, I've done that before. Bitten off more than I can chew! The worst part about it is that you can't go back. You have to see the job through. The best part about it is that when you get done you will feel soooooo good about having done it. Take care! Purrs, Catwoman=^..^= & Mija

I have done that many times. I will wake up in the morning all motivated to clean the kitchen cupboards or something like that only to start, have everything everywhere, get half way through and feel completely fed up with a wish I never started the job in the first place! It is refreshing to hear that it happens to other people too; I thought it was just me! I think it is a good idea to think carefully before starting big jobs that will take ages to complete!

i do stuff like that all the time,normally cleaning out cupboards,i've got a back garden full of stuff so got to go to the tip tomorrow

ya can wash in between what you do in the shed. as for tiding up sorry about that you are only one person

Oh my. I have had what I thought were brilliant ideas for projects and then discovered they were more trouble than they were worth. I seem to start something and in the middle discover that there is more to do and I cant stop where I thought I could and I get more and more involved. Then I get annoyed by the extra work I caused myself.

sometimes a job has more to it than it initially looks like! especially jobs around the house! stuff like that i will put til after christmas because i am just too busy making presents right now. (i need to clean our garage!)

I'm a great starter but not such a good finisher. I love to start new projects but the idea starts to fade and I find myself just working at a problem instead of making things better for myself. I guess you could set a time to work on the stuff you want so the stuff you need to get done doesn't suffer.

Well, my dear you just have schedule better. If you plan to spend say half a day in your shed straightening thing around then you need to spend that previous day or evening catching up on other things so you have that done and can do something else without feeling you are taking time away from other things.

I have done this to I start cleaning out a closet and then have to take what I am given away to good will. After doing all the extra cleaning of closet, shelves I do not have much time to keep up with the regular housework. I will stop cleaning the shelves, closet and take time to do the regular housework and then go back to closet and shelves cleaning.

I know what you mean. We have started a number of jobs in garden and what you think is a simple quick job turns into a mission to get finished. Then all the other stuff piles up like ironing, weeding and cleaning as you spend so much time on the new job. Its never ending sometimes trying to keep on top of everything.

I think the idea is a good one to move or do changes in your house settings, though it takes lots of hard work and may interrupt our work a bit, but at the end if everything goes well you will get the feeling of happiness and this helps in refreshing your mind too. Going to mall or doing daily chores are things that you have already done many times in your life, it is not so challenging or refreshing as that of doing some creative work in your living room or your bathroom.

Oh how many times have I done this? I love to change furniture around and make the rooms look different. Many times I would start and realize how much work is involved and then wish I hadn't started. I would start saying what ws I thinking in starting this now.

ah, either let the daily jobs go and get the extra stuff done, or do the regular stuff and forget the other. Happens to me all the time and only doubles my work load. Strange how junk accumulates huh??

I am so with you on this one. I started moving things around in the house on a day off from work and what I really should have done is gone to the mall or something. I ended up painting a bathroom and the rest of the house looked like a disaster zone. I mean seriously what was I thinking when I started my little project of just moving things around. The upside is a had a very lovely bathroom. So, your not alone.
