jianantonic I finally got around to doing something for work that I'd been putting off for a week. The more I put it off, the more guilty I felt about it, and the more I dreaded doing it. But I just did it, and it literally took me five minutes. Which makes me kind of mad at myself for putting it off for so long. Dangit. Oh well, it's done. Now I just have to explain on my conference call tomorrow why it wasn't done sooner. Sigh.
Anyway, I'm glad to say that this is a bad habit that I am moving away from. I used to procrastinate everything -- even the things I wanted to do. Everything would pile up and I'd wait for some wave of productivity to swoop down on me. Sometimes everything would get done, and sometimes things wouldn't. Usually the important stuff got done, but not without a fair bit of last minute stressing.
These days, I've just been doing shit as it comes up. Not everything -- I can still list a few things that I've been putting off for really no good reason -- but for the most part, I'm just taking more initiative. It's not much of an effort, really. And it's so nice to get shit taken care of. I'm not sure where the mental block comes from, but it's one of the things I'd started working on in therapy and am looking forward to getting back to when I get back to Dr. P in a few weeks.
