Which is usually the entire list.<BR/><BR/>I'm trying a whole new priority and goal-setting thing for the new year, but that's actually a lot of procrastination material because I have to write out all my goals and Shanna Swendsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07558317020951521656noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17229339.post-1166314565591336552006-12-16T19:16:00.000-05:002006-12-16T19:16:00.000-05:00Thanks, guys!

But, honestly, I know I need to get better organized.<BR/><BR/>Have a gloriously happy holiday season!<BR/><BR/>FayeAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17229339.post-1166292022515040412006-12-16T13:00:00.000-05:002006-12-16T13:00:00.000-05:00Maybe you're not procrastinating, so much as prior...Maybe you're not procrastinating, so much as prioritizing? Since I always somehow manage to pile too much life stuff on my plate (which also happens to be spinning like those plates on poles in the circus), I've given myself permission just to tackle things when they're approaching critical mass. Such as never packing for a trip until about eleven the night before we leave, but that's okay, JoAnn Rosshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03351137721112499077noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17229339.post-1166282459380306572006-12-16T10:20:00.000-05:002006-12-16T10:20:00.000-05:00The only New Year's resolution I make is to make n...The only New Year's resolution I make is to make no resolutions. Who am I kidding? I never keep them, anyway. Right there I eliminate the stress of having to stick to them. Maybe you're putting too much pressure on yourself by making a list for the week. Then if you don't do the things on the list, you feel guilty. Guilt and anger are the 2 biggest motivators, but always for the wrong reasons.

Personally, I think if I took half the energy I put into the art of procrastination and put it into getting things done, I would be so amazingly successful.<BR/><BR/>Sometimes, I think I put things off, just to feel the buzz of living on the edge, the do-it-now-or-die" kind of high.<BR/><BR/>Ahh, Christie Craighttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13838947086349600665noreply@blogger.com
