Procrastination ...



Yesterday we had a garage sale. We're moving soon and we want to downsize or at least not haul it all down south. Jon has a rule, once it makes it to the driveway, it can't come back in the house. We only sold 20% of the stuff yesterday. So we put down the seats of my Expedition and packed it up tight and took the leftovers to Goodwill, I'm sure it's the most we've ever donated in one shot. I've got to say it feels good. It's really true, "we don't own the stuff, it owns us". Having to store it, insure it, haul it here and there is being "enslaved" by the "stuff". Now I have a pretty good path in the garage to actually get to my sewing table - something I've missed using for months!

I wish I had "purged" sooner. I'd like to say I've just been "busy" ... but maybe I waited so long because I'm a procrastinator.

If you are not sure if you are one then watch this great short clip and then ... get back to work!

So I know I am now the comment stalker...but I had to tell you. I read your blog, got off the computer and painted my dining room. I have needed to for over 6 months. I had the paint and everything I needed just never did it. I WAS that P word. Now I am the D word..."DOER" - well at least for today

Thanks for sharing your thoughts =) S

Uh oh. I just thought I was a multi-tasker. I guess in order to have that label, tasks actually have to be completed ;)
