So JJ has always said I have a Scarlott O'Hara attitude. :wah: It's true I have a serious case of.."I'll think about that tomorrow" syndrome. :-5 Anybody else around here have that problem and if so, has it ever caused you any serious problems?

I'm not a good starter but once I do begin a project I am obsessed with finishing it.

So, bad starter, good finisher.

I do! I do! Maybe if I try to forget it, it will go away!

Serious problem: Very sick. Lost 50 pounds in a bit over a month. I'll go to a doctor soon, maybe............Cancer, Stage 3. That's the most dramatic, but procrastination affects me every day. I was not supposed to be here today. I was supposed to clean off my desk because whenever I go there, & that's often, Everything falls to the floor. And the other desks. And moving boxes I haven't unpacked in almost ten years. And cleaning out the storage bin that was victim to Hurricane Sandy 15 months ago..............and............there is a possibility I'm just a lazy slob, but who wants to think that way?

A very Personal Question, Hope, if I may say so!

That's kinda like me, once I ever do get started then it's okay.

Anne you sound a lot like me, I have been working on cleaning out my basement and I've got boxes down there that I haven't unpacked since I moved into this house 20 years ago! EEK! btw why do you think this is a personal question?

I think tomorrow I will try that.

A lot of times it takes me several days to work up to doing something. If I have a deadline it helps, usually I end up getting something done the day that it's due. This best way to clean house is to invite company over, then you have to do it! :wah:

That's exactly what I used to do.

Anne I'm glad to hear that I'm not the only one!

btw you said that was what you used to do...I take it you've found another solution?

Yes. I don't invite company over.

Awwww I think you need a ((((HUG)))) after that one.

depends... Getting the hoover out is something I will always do tomorrow, unless I have people coming over.

Bills - I do straight away.

My health - I'll deal with that tomorrow. As long as I get through today.

Other personal issues: tomorrow.

At work: do it straight away.

Pet issues: straight away

I'll take it. Gladly. Back at ya.

Thank you Anne.

Chloe health issues are something that should be dealt with right away.

I use ForumGarden to procrastinate. I tried, I tried, to Ban Myself, but then I'd have to do something. Eureka! That's why I love it here & all you people are my enablers.

LOL I know what you mean Anne, I'm supposed to be working on my income taxes right now! :wah:

neh.. read thread: http://www.forumgarden.com/forums/healt ... -care.html

it will explain more.

yea well i am always leaving stuff for another day but last year I woke up feeling weird said to myself i gotta better things to do than sit in a doctors office..5 days later still not well go to doctor to be told i had a mild stroke:-1 always putting the housework off till another day, return phone calls days later if they are lucky:p and I could go on on but I wont, thats the way I am

Never do today what you can put off until tomorrow.

Always been my motto

Aww Chloe! I wish you the best luck with all of that. (((((HUG))))

Oh Kay! I hope you are okay now? I think that is one place where it's easy to procrastinate, I mean who wants to go to the doctor?

Lars my mom used to say, there will always be tomorrow and if there's not, we won't need it done anyway.

Good one! So true! :wah:

LOL I always though it was a kinda odd thing for my mom to say since she is a total workaholic.
