Thursday Chip----Procrastinate/Do it!

[Misty]

The only good thing for me to procrastinate on is taking that next drink. I have managed to stay
away from cigarettes by procrastination too! It can be a good thing when it comes to addictions but it can really mess me up if I have work to be finished
Do you procrastinate or Do it???
Please let me know! Thanks!

If all goes as planned, this will be very much a "do it" day. I hope to meet with a friend and go to the market with a possible follow up of lunch or brunch.

My niece is coming by to take me grocery shopping. My ex-sponsor called me tonight. She has had problems with her health, and has been falling as a result of it. She hasn't been able to walk, so I am loaning her my aunt's walker. I am hoping my niece will drive me to her place to deliver it, if not then I will wait and hopefully be able to take it to her on Saturday.

It won't be procrastinating, it will be going with the flow and letting things happen and unfold as they should.

I was at a herbologist's place today and got herbs that I hope will help with the circulation, my heart and my kidneys, which in turn will allow me to get more exercise and I won't need the walker myself. I have problems using it. It always seems to be more of a chore then a help. Maybe it is a mental block, but that is okay. I feel that once I give up, I might not want to get back up.

FIrst, I'm proud of you MISTY for procrastinating against that next drink and that next smoke. Those are healthy choices.

And Caressa...great attitude not to want to give up. A positive attitude and determination can do wonders coping with diseases.

I am a do it person. I like to get things done and ot ahve them pile up. If i procrastinate, they pile up. I got busy a couple of weeks ago and did not pay the bills. They piled up. Before I knew it, I had let the phone bill be late. The day I got them all out and paid it, I got a double bill in the mail. I rarely let bills slip up like that, so I'm not in danger of cancellation of my phone or anything like that. (and i paid the second bill the day i got it. LOL)

procrastinating makes jobs get bigger. Laundry, dishes, shoveling snow, cleaning off a desk, even cleaning the house...can be jobs like that. Tackling them when they are smaller jobs takes less time. Like the NIKE commercial says...JUST DO IT!

Dear Caressa----You made a real good point about "going with the flow" is not the same as practicing procrastination. If I don't have
time or money to grocery shop I've
got to put it off till I do. This is not procrastination, it's going
with the flow. Thanks for mentioning that! It will keep me from feeling guilty when that happens! Thanks for stopping by!!!

Dear Lin----Thanks for the congrats
I think cigarettes were just as hard if not harder then kicking the
booze & drugs. I just can't afford
any of that stuff today. I have a
bulletin board in my home office &
I pin my bills on it with the Due
Date highlighted and circled. I see
them all the time as I am in and out of there and it reminds me to
do it. THANKS for stopping by!!!!

Good Morning Mistyeve,

Procrastinate/ Do It

For me it is more like done !

Something that occaisionally comes back to bite me in the derrierre. Because I want it finished done and out of the way, so there are times when I bite off more than I can chew . (Hard with busted teeth lol). For me it is a matter of learning to say NO, and delegate jobs/works out to some of the other people in this house. Always working on those defects.

Love & God Bless,
Arlene

Dear Arlene----Hope the teeth are feeling better??!!! When I was growing up I always had chores to do. My sisters and I took turns doing dishes and my brother cut the grass and or shoveled snow. Sounds like a fair deal. Good Luck and thanks for stopping by!---Mistyeve
