Last week's challenge was to be active 15 minutes each day. Seven days in to that challenge was anything but difficult. When all else failed, I took a quick 15 minute walk. Easy peasy.
This weeks challenge is about procrastination, and hello? That's all me. If procrastination were a sport, I'd probably be an Olympian by now. I decided to apply the challenge to my job this week because I had such a huge task that I was putting off for several days. On Tuesday, I put myself on lock down, slowly chipping away at the project. On Wednesday, I tied up a few loose ends and called it done. The reward for all of this? I had room for an unexpected fun and creative project at work on Thursday, and I'll have extra time to spare on Friday. It's a nice win-win-win for me.
With that task out of the way, I'm going to focus a little more on my blog because procrastination reigns supreme here as well. Not only do I want to change the layout, but I also want to make sure I'm updating often. Sometimes my perfectionist tendencies turn into procrastination because I know I'll spend forever getting everything just so. It's time to stop thinking & make it work.

Yay for finishing something! I've changed my mind on some of the things I was planning and replaced them with others...but I got a big one out of the way too.
ReplyDeleteWe Olympians are kickin' it!
I'm the same way with being a perfectionist. It gets in the way of starting a lot of my projects.
ReplyDeleteSo glad you joined in!
I'm beginning to think all perfectionists are master's of procrastination! I'm a huge perfectionist & I have issues with procrastination as well. I know exactly how I want things & if it can't be done right away, then I put it off because it's not worth the risk of messing up (in my mind).
ReplyDeletethe 7 day push sounds interesting!
ReplyDeleteI would definitely beat you at the procrastination sport, I'm a gold medalist! lol
