I decided to come back to my computer and read your post instead of putting the clothes away. I guess I should go finish what I started. I know I'll feel so much better when it's done.Jennifer Reneenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4378121614850709360.post-12528577514860229252010-03-09T10:45:16.789-07:002010-03-09T10:45:16.789-07:00LOL.

Baskets of pictures, a desk w/ only half the hutch assembled, my first-ever paint job that was never touched up, pictures unhung, a closet full of "stuff" moved from the living room to "declutter" it (only to clutter my office). I think of the Bible classes I'm taking at church & all the unfinished assignments. I reflect on my weight loss, which I started so ferociously 3 yrs ago, but has been sputtering out for the last 2 (I gave up again last night, only to "try again" this morning). <br /><br />I don't know where/when/how I learned not to finish what I've started, but I've think I consider it a burden of laziness. Isn't it interesting how "laziness" creates more of a burden than the productivity that procrastination seeks to avoid?<br /><br />OK. I'm getting out a blank sheet of paper & writing down the key things I want to start AND FINISH today (but not too many as to overwhelm me). I'm too embarrassed to share w/ you some of the stuff on that list (having to do w/ a certain large holiday 3 mos ago!), but thanks for your encouragement to FINISH WHAT I STARTED today.<br /><br />(sorry my post is almost longer than your original blog!) ♥Nancy M.https://www.blogger.com/profile/08150980768851986366noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4378121614850709360.post-1911437889081172362010-03-09T10:05:36.493-07:002010-03-09T10:05:36.493-07:00Hi Glynnis.

Yet, with I feel tired looking at the clutter and find myself accomplishing much more when I've recently de-cluttered an area. Thanks for the practical mantra to chant! ;-)Amber Rainhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04275961036104350271noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4378121614850709360.post-45396908165667362612010-03-09T04:31:35.086-07:002010-03-09T04:31:35.086-07:00Thanks for the encouragement.

When you mentioned jeans laying over the edge of the tub I was thoroughly convicted! You're right. 5 extra seconds is all it takes in most cases. I like that. A huge payoff for minimal time and effort!handmade by hearthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13864795403443516882noreply@blogger.com
