Procrastination, and disorganization

I cannot believe you made me want tuna right now. Deazil, start with one thing at a time. I have a big mess I am going to have to unravel in the next month or two. I will get it done. Mavic, enjoy your sandwich. I had lasagna. . . ha ha ha. And no, I did not share it with my cats.

That's exactly how I like my tuna. Except without the pepper. I have one cat that won't eat tuna. The other two might jump you for it. I hope I can do it. I use to think I could do anything. Now I think I need some help.

hahaha... i like tuna with mayo and a little onion and with onion spring and celery. whohhooot with pepper... sorry for your cats... I will not give them my tuna sandwich. Seriously... you can do it... go go go..

Maybe that is my problem, I have very little mind left. It got clobbered a few years back and I have not really re built it. I have learned a trick or two, like always put my keys in the same place or I am sunk. I clip them to my purse right now. Otherwise I always put them on a hook as I walked in the door. Now if only the rest of my life were that simple to deal with.

Assigning yourself an hour a day for the second job sounds like a good plan to be successful. I need a regular schedule in my job as then I believe I will do better.

I have had periods when I was better and also when I was worse. I just know that I spend a lot of wasted time looking for things when I am not organized and that time will never come back to me. Elic, hope you are good today.

Thanks for the concern, I had a minor, very minor procedure on Friday, left me a bit sore and tired.

I get one flat surface cleared and someone comes along and fills it up again. Sometimes I am that someone. I think your family is first, but if they are ever busy without you you could sneak in and do it.

It is much quicker just to do what you must and get it over with.

My brain will go on automatic and put stuff in places that I forget, and I think that is part of my disorganization. I have to have places for important things and always put them in the same place. I probably have your file folder labels, put away "somewhere safe". I am sneaky that way, and we will never find them again. Until we buy some more.

Your hole punch, my scissors. I found three small pairs and four large ones in the bag I have been carrying to work with crochet in it. I just kept tossing another one in.

I used to go through that, back when I was still married to my husband. He made sure that he had plenty to eat instead of buying me furniture, and I was doomed to live out of boxes! I remember when I kept losing the single hole punch, and buying new ones-I found at least three (one still in the package) AFTER I bought the fourth one! Things here in our living room are slowly improving-Jim purchased (at my request) a 2-drawer file cabinet. Until I put it together (I got sick of waiting for him to do it!), the little file box I had been using became overfull, with papers all over the place! I'm slowly working on the table still, but there's still piles there-but I'm using them for Jim's short sale. If you think that you have my file folder labels, may I have them back please? But you can wait until I buy the actual folders! That would probably help!

Yes, I hope you are doing better today. I am glad that you had a day when you could sleep. Perhaps that will help you not get sick.

I do hope that you are feeling better now.

I have serious issues with both and a very important matter that has gone under because of them. Then I begin to lose sleep. We are so much healthier when we manage better. It is noon now and I am resting while here at MyLot. It is the first I have been online today. I guess I need to honor myself by recognizing what I have gotten done so far today.

Hiya GG, Depends on how you start the day off most important but of course other people can put the spoke in the wheel and bang goes all your effort. I did really great yesterday as I was on my own for a while and the dog behaves better too as the ones who make him misbehave had gone out for a few hours. Not too good today as they were both here hindering everything I was trying to do so again I let it be and sidestepped them and did my own thing and it always works better for me instead of waiting for them as if I did that I would never do anything you see.xxx

I think that paper monster is getting to me a lot. I am doing better now. I got busy with a few things this morning and that feels good. Now it is time for lunch. I always think of the beginning of the year as a time to purge the filing cabinets.

I have two fridges but I have small appliances and boxes of cereal on top of mine.

That is my resolution too - to have a clean drawer, a clean cupboard, a clean table. Yes. That is where you will find paper and yes wait a minute even on top of the fridges - I have 2 of them

I have been this way for most of my life, and I know better. I do what I can but I also realize the time I waste looking for unorganized stuff. I will be kind to myself as I try to improve.

You seem to be always strict with yourself,this is just why your work is superb all the way.

It really does make you feel better when you can tell what you did in a day. I did a lot today, but cannot tell much about it. I like it when the changes are more obvious.

I'm glad to hear that you got a lot done today. I feel that I did as well. My husband didn't get home until seven this evening so that made for a long day. But the house was all in order when he got home and we all were able to spend time together before my daughter had to go to sleep.

Having one goal and keeping it is awesome. I think I just need to plan to do some housework every day, and leave it at that. Actually I do that, but we have quite the jumble here and sometimes it is hard to tell that anything has been done.

If we had not had the guys monitoring our utility use of the year (water and heating) a few days ago it would sure look negatively different in here too. LOL, we were working on getting the place into sort of order for the last two weekends. Regarding ironing, I just did one round of ironing yesterday so I hope I will be able to meet that goal of mine most of the time.

You're so organized. It's not normal. When you're done at your place can you please come and help me at mine? Remember, when you said HEEEEELLLPPPP!! I helped you. Now it's your turn.

Okay, I raised my arms, I turned one time, I shouted "Ouch!" I think I hurt my neck.

hmmmm.. organized??? looked at the right... then left... and back... and right and left and back again... are you sure you are on the right box Miss Deazil. are you referring to me, Miss Deazil? Who said that "I am organized?" I multi task and write notes what i should do and do it.. but doesn't mean I am organized. hahaha otherwise, I will have a lot of rushes. until now, my luggage are still unpacked. hahaha.. just taking out what I will need. then close them again. who is organized in this situation. ok.. ok.. fine...do this Miss Deazil... turn one time while are arms are raised... then shout "wonderwoman!" tadaaaaaaaaaan...

I know how that feels on the business type stuff. I have to work hard on that. I am working on becoming more organized.

Some people seem so organized and so very effortless in what they do. I seem to be missing that organizational gene. I know life would go better if I did have a talent in that area.

I tend to do that kind of thing myself. I wish I would stop it.

I find that when my life gets more complicated I fall apart as far as organization goes. If I get to a good spot and do a little each day I have more hope of staying on top of things.

Yes, those are important things to get done. I wish you luck on moving to college. You have time to develop better habits now.

I think that we will always have to work on both if they are our habits. I think it is great that you are getting better at both of them.
