Today's topic is procrastination. I was toying with the idea of not posting anything or posting a day late. But, let's face it, I already did the post nothing thing with the Emperor's New Blog Post. I don't think I can really pull that off twice.
I try really hard to live life the Nike way... Just Do It.
I have come up with strategies to force myself to do things I don't like to do. I have a friend that cleans the house with me. I have a list of rewards I use when I have to have hard conversations with people. I try and tackle life head on, and keep moving forward.
One of the few things that I do procrastinate about doing is laundry. I wait to do laundry until it is a mountain that requires equipment to climb. I wait until there is no clean underwear in my drawer. I make the kids wear things that are maybe dirty-ish. I wear things as often as I can.
I convince myself to start doing the laundry by saying, it will be easy because there is nothing in the dryer. Just run the machines.
I then play the put the clean laundry in the baskets game. Sometimes folded, sometimes not.
Finally, when we have resorted to looking for clean clothes in the baskets do I actually put it away.
I just don't know how to get myself to "Just Do It" with laundry. Maybe someday I will.
