Procrastinating

Do any of you procrastinate? I do for sure! Huge projects are the worst for me -- such as organizing my scrapbook room (packed closet, shelves filled with papers, embellishments, binders, photos, etc.) I just don't have the 10-12 hours I think it's going to take to do it, so I think, I'll get to it later. But I never have 10-12 hours straight to get to it. So I just pile new stuff on top of old stuff and hope I won't need something at the bottom. :-)

But this is the year I'm going to get completely organized! I've told myself that if I just do small things each day, then I won't get overwhelmed and gradually it will get done. It actually works!

I've organized at least 10 drawers, cleaned off 3 shelves, and soon will get to the scrapbook shelves. It feels so good. I'm giving away things I haven't used for years (to people who will use and appreciate them) -- that feels good too.

Anyway, a little bit each day will get us where we want to go eventually. I find that scrapbooking is the same way. I sometimes procrastinate that too because I know once I pull out all of my pictures, it's going to take a few hours to get in the groove again. I wish I had space where I could just leave everything out and then do one or two pages each day. In my next house, I'm going to create a countertop/table space just for that.

But as it stands now, I'll just keep plugging away room by room in my house and eventually (this year) I'll be organized! Yeah!
