Procrastination

I have several jobs on my to do list ....... and I have been procrastinating ... AGAIN !

I am definitely the queen of procrastination ..... I even went onto a site that gives tips on how to avoid procrastination ..... rather than actually DO what I was supposed to do !!!

The site gave all the usual advice ... like 

1. "make a list" !!!           I had to stop myself laughing - I have a list for EVERYTHING!

It suggested that if the list itself didn't help .... 

2. to re-order the list ........ hahaha !!             I have categories and sub categories on my list  and spreadsheets to re-order items on a regular basis !

3. Reflect on the important things ... the priorities ...... yep ... got that one down to a fine art too .... I regularly read and re-read the jar/pebbles/sand/coffee lecture.

4. Avoid the computer .....yeah right !!!        I know the computer is a HUGE waste of time .... you intend to read a couple of emails and an hour later you find you are still staring at the screen ....replying to tweets or Facebook statuses .... but sorry ... I don't want to avoid the computer ....I LIKE my little netbook. 

HOWEVER ...... I am going to put the netbook down and take advantage of the sunshine .... I'm going to take the dogs for a walk ..... OK ... so it still means the jobs aren't going to get done ..... but I think this is a  a very good excuse ........ so that's the BEST way of procrastinating ...... in my mind at least !!!
