I got all the cleaning stuff I needed out of the laundry cupboard to complete the task. The moment came and went. Something else got in the way and I didn't get to do it. The cleaning stuff sat on the kitchen bench for the following few days looking at me saying "Hello! Remember us?" and soon I decided to put them back away because it was making the place look untidy.
Every day for 3 and a half years I have sat on our couch and thought "I need to give this a good clean".But I never get to it. Numerous times over the past few years I have followed the same ritual of getting all the cleaning stuff out of the laundry. Never getting the job done and then putting it back away.

| mmmm. Smooth and shiny. FINALLY |
So now. After three and a half years (and two babies) since I originally set about completing the job. It is FINALLY DONE!
I cleaned them. I conditioned them. It took 20 minutes to do the job. But it took 3 days worth of actually THINKING ABOUT DOING IT.
What a waste of time.
I'm going to get these silly jobs done in my house and spend less time thinking about doing them.
It really is just mind over matter.
What are you procrastinating about?
cleaning out the cupboards... You know, the ones that are so full of shhhhhhhhhhh...stuff, that when you open the doors it all comes tumbling out...
ReplyDeleteYup, really gotto get onto that!
finishing my unpacking...moved house a month ago and still have many, many boxes to unpack. got the house to the liveable stage then closed the door on the rest.... have no motivation to unpack anymore and it may remain that way until i absolutely need to reclaim that room!
ReplyDeleteOh! This sounds so familiar!!
ReplyDeleteI need to clean the mildew from the roman blinds in our bedroom AND restring them! It's takes about 3 hours and 3 years worth of thinking about it!!
