The bloke said if you're the type of person who leaves things till teh last minute, BUT they still get done to acceptable (or better) standards, then just do them at teh last minute and stop worrying in advance. That was quite liberating.<br /><br />But then I also read that Carlyle used to do three hours' work before breakfast, and found that that was such an efficient manner of him working that it released more free time.<br /><br />Anyway, that draining board needs a bit of a clean and then I suppose I should fold those clothes up over there and then I could do with aother coffee as it's a bit chilly and I need to get some bread...loobyhttp://loobynet.co.uk/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6362772742268382636.post-83569182805096384102012-02-08T10:42:19.952+00:002012-02-08T10:42:19.952+00:00Procrastination is the thief of time!

Sometimes we set ourselves up for failure by unfairly deciding 'there's not enough time' or 'I can't do this', when like you said, how do we know until we knuckle down and try? <br /><br />Sometimes the simple act of thinking about doing it puts us off, so best way is to probably think we can do it, even if there is still a chance we can't.The Girl From Back Thenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01686813455208322055noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6362772742268382636.post-37291714441460453232012-02-08T10:36:24.403+00:002012-02-08T10:36:24.403+00:00I definitely should read this book!

It does take courage to leave our comfort zone and to put ourselves "out there", and I for one, am certainly a master at inventing excuses as to why I "can't yet" get off my backside to achieve those goals I've set. Yet I know from past experience, the rewards for facing my fears far excells the frustration I feel for hiding on the sidelines. You go for it, Furtheron, truth is the only thing to really fear is the fear itself.Shrinkyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18401403773851253351noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6362772742268382636.post-50112490815792906632012-02-08T10:16:40.210+00:002012-02-08T10:16:40.210+00:00A lot of procrastination handbooks can be summaris...A lot of procrastination handbooks can be summarised in three words, "Just Do It". Much as I hate Nike, I do tend to nick their mantra and use it on myself when I'm being particularly resistant. No analysis, no discussion, just do it! <br /><br />Does it work? About 80% of the time, yes.Kolley Kibberhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07055145770836351738noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6362772742268382636.post-76284638954986333412012-02-07T22:19:21.053+00:002012-02-07T22:19:21.053+00:00The wifey once accused me of being a prcas..procra...The wifey once accused me of being a prcas..procrat..pro....thingy...<br /><br />My inability to say it, let alone spell it, led her to stop procrastinating....<br /><br />and I never said/wrote that..;-)<br /><br />This comment will self destruct in 5 seconds..;-)Four Dinnershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09450277974819293329noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6362772742268382636.post-21508477823168982502012-02-07T21:19:10.703+00:002012-02-07T21:19:10.703+00:00I was going to wait until tomorrow to post and lea...I was going to wait until tomorrow to post and leave some smartass comment about procrastinating, but decided against it.<br />I haven't even read it and it's working!<br />:)sybil lawhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13629349319977383547noreply@blogger.com
