Procrastinatation

That is really cool. Wish I could do that in my house, lol. Does it help with procrastination on other projects as well? How much was the book, just out of curiousity. BTW, thanks for the information.

If I find that magic wand, I will let everyone know where to get one!! LOL CYLC is a book that is based around 70 days, or 70 steps as the author puts it, where you do things around your house and life to help you organize it to make priorities matter and not allow them to sit on the back burner. I have stalled on Day #22 because I had started picking up more working days. Being a SAHM of two years, it got kind of overwhelming because I am not used to being the working mom again. It is a really good book! In the matter of one day, and I kid you not when I share this moment in life!, I had decluttered my house. There is a system in there that is a life saver and helps you organizer your stuff in a way that isn't too overwhelming. If you are a pack rat, like I can be, it was great because it broke it down in steps where it was easy for me to let go of things I definitely didn't need or would need in the near future. My best friend came the day after I cleared out my house and she saw three boxes that were being given away and like six boxes going down to the garage. It was a nice feeling!

The worst part about your cylc for me is that everytime you do a step I want to come over and help you "remove" those things from your life you know like the stereo you got rid of...lol. When your done I am going to be a good best friend and let you come change my life for me, hahaha

i am the world's biggest procrastinator, especially when it comes to getting a project finished.

Its all about the lazy nature of human kind, to do something no money pay or values. the doers will not have much motive to get the thing done! Let see if you are working in office, will you going to be lazy around and not get the job done quick? XDDDDD, No one want to be fired. But for doing assignments, except it is the last/final project, most assignments will be done at the last minute.

That would definitely be our motto!! LOL

I very much agree with youu. I find myself always putting little things i dont like doing. For example i hate house chores so i leave them last minute, i would like to loose weight and get into to shape but i admit im lazy and im not into working out. Instead i watch tv, go to the mall, go on the internet, hangout with friends, ect when i should be doing laundrey, dishes, exercise, instead i let the dishes pile up i wait til i have nothing to wear and i complain about my weight and yet do nothing about it until last mintue. ill work out when i have a wedding to attend and those things but i wait like a month before and expect results but like you said i procrastinate the things that i dont like to do.

there is a saying...why put off today..what you can put off all together..that is my saying..lol

I have found for me it's better to make a list of what I need to get done for the next day. I add to the list as the day goes on. If you put it on paper, you make a commitment to yourself. What you do not finish for that day goes to the next day. If you find yourself writing it on the list for 3 or more days, you need to get more motivated or decide you really don't want to get it done and assign it to someone else!

I am that way about assignments and projects. I can do a whole lot better when under pressure. Anything else in life, doesn't work that way!

You have to figure out if you are driven by pain or pleasure. Some people, like myself are driven by pain. When the situation becomes painful enough, I get it done. I would prefer being driven by pleasure and say "Good, now that's done and I feel good about it."
