Today's Ten on Tuesday topic is 10 Things I Need to Do and Stop Procrastinating. I will preface this with my middle name is "Procrastination".
It's something that I am working on, but I don't always succeed, so here we go….
1. Blogging ~ My morning is usually filled with walking and Tai Chi, and then the day is filled with work. When I do blog it is usually at night. Of course I should do my blog post for the next day at night, not the current day. Hmmm…good idea!
2. Website work ~ I do all parts of my business. The ordering, dyeing, reskeining, advertising, shows, sewing, shipping and web work and sitting at my computer updating the page is something that I shouldn't put off, but I do. It's tedious work.
3. Keeping track of my food journal ~ I use my fitness pal and while I am really good about tracking my exercise and my weight, I loathe trying to find the food choices in their large library of food, so I just don't do it, even when I am really paying attention and being really good.
4. Answering emails ~ I have to admit, that once an email has lost my sight of vision, I sometimes lose track of it. I don't mean to, but I do. I have really worked on getting better with this one!
5. Checking in on Ravelry ~ I don't go there as much as a lot of my friends do, but because people will direct Woolen Rabbit questions to me there instead of emailing me privately, I do try to get there at least a few times a week, but I should do this daily.
6. Sitting down and getting the curtains for my dining room made ~ I have the fabric, the pattern and the sewing machine. I just need to commit 2 weekends to getting them done.
7. Making bags for the shop ~ This one is a conundrum for me as I think I enjoy sewing more than dyeing, but I am always putting it off.
8. Cleaning out the cabinets upstairs in my studio ~ it's scary….
9. Dusting ~ I flat out hate doing it. I don't mind the vacuuming or washing floors, but the dusting..ugh
10. Finding 5 things I need to do ~ those things I procrastinated doing all week, just before I head out the door which will guarantee me being 5 minutes late. I don't know what comes over me, but it drives my dear husband crazy., he refers to it as "Kim time"..ha!

We all admire goals and lists but give yourself ore credit. You seem to be a most productive person. Stop “shoulding” yourself so much. You’re doing fine.

#10 is totally Dale, too. He read an interesting article on that a while back, I will ask him if he can remember it and tell you about it.

We can all only do so much in one day, Kim. No “shoulds” allowed!!! (And I’m always late because of #10, too.) XOXO

Ditto on 4, 5 and 9! You do more than anyone I know, especially given you’re running a business! You’re too tough on yourself, my friend.xox

Doug and I go back and forth on #10. I’ll trade you a lemontini for an hour of dusting in August! 🙂

There is only so much time in a day and we can never do all the things that there are to do so there is no use worrying about them. You do so much and your life is so full of wonderful things…plus you give so much joy to others through your business. Just breathe… 🙂

I think the procrastination and the shoulding feed each other. My journal for 2015 begins each day with the phrase, “Today I…..”. Of course, I have not written in it of late lol.
