Procrastination or ....... Making the Bed

When it comes to house work I give my self more time and a shorter list, as I have a few health issues and am not as speedy as I used to be.  Today my list wasbeds, not strip and change the sheets or anything; just "set it" as my Ukraine friend Barb would say and make the spare bed.   I started with the spare twin bed.  Matthew had slept there New Years eve and it was not a pull up job.  As I removed the sheets I remembered I had another set for this twin bed; warm, cosy, black Tshirt fabric.  But where are they? I begin the hunt.  That was this morning.

Now it is 7:30 pm and I have  done errands, went to the grocery store, had a nap and played on the computer. Are the beds done? No!

Wikipedia defines procrastination as the act of replacing high-priority actions with tasks of lower priority, and thus putting off important tasks to a later time.  So the bed making is important?  No.  Finding those sheets is important.  I remember not putting them in the bedding closet because the man of the house makes such a mess of the bedding stored within. Then where are the sheets?

I could have made my bed, correct?  But I started the twin one first!

Research tells me that for some people procrastination may be symptomatic of a psychological disorder such as depression or ADHD. Nope - do not think that is it for me.

Also procrastination has been associated with perfectionism,  Now that might be my problem along with being a tad anal LOL.

I have now procrastinated another 15 minutes and still the beds are not made. But I have written my blog, (not found the sheets) and enjoyed a turtle. And the point?? No one asked me?

  1. At least you had a Turtle! That's a pretty high priority in my book.
