procrastinating no longer

I’ve never been much of a procrastinator. I’ve generally had everything I needed to get done done and way before it needed to get done. But lately, I’ve been twiddling my thumbs more, web surfing, social media-ing and doing other meaningless, time-wasting activities. I eventually get everything done that I wanted to get done and usually within whatever deadline I have, but I feel the pressure which builds up the anxiety. Am I feeding off the anxiety? Why do I need this pressure and anxiety in order to get things done? I don’t like how it makes me feel and behave, and I know that the girls don’t like it either. I’m short with them, testy and not as consistent as any of us would like me to be.

In addition to eating blueberries, I’m going to take a stab at this procrastinating issue in order to bring a bit more peace back into the house. I don’t want to live by my to-do list, but I do want it to help me to stay on track and stop this cycle of procrastinating! Now, back to work!
