How to Survive Life in the Suburbs

Queen Of Procrastination

in Everyday on

I have been struggling with a post for about three days.  I start it, get distracted and stop.  I start it, lose focus and stop.  I start it, well you get the idea.  It is just not happening.  So here is a list of ten things I’m doing instead of getting that post done.  In other words, I am never going to hit that deadline.

QueenOfProcrastination

1)  Check the MLS listing’s for any fabulous houses in the area for my sister to buy.  It’s important to be helpful.

2)  Troll the internet for puppies.  I have fallen in love more times this week then I care to admit.  I have no excuse for this.  None.  I just love puppies and miss my dog.

3) Call the last five girlfriends who called me.  Hey, it’s rude not to return phone calls.

4) Floss my teeth. Healthy teeth are important, and I’m all kinds of afraid of the Dentist.

5) Bake cookies. 

6) Throw in a load of laundry so I will fell like I accomplished something today,

7) Make a list of everything I have to get done.  (because that is super productive)

8) Scratch a couple of things off above mentioned list, so I feel better about me. pathetic

9) Check Facebook, twitter, and Instagram.  Hey, social media is my job.  Justify!

10) Complain about how much work I have to do.

Huh.  Maybe if I just sat and focused for an hour I could just knock that stupid post out and not be so stressed, but then…… there wouldn’t be cookies. 

Long live the Queen.

    2. I’m so guilty of doing almost everything on your list to avoid tasks, including making lists and crossing things off, and baking cookies. I also snack mindlessly and go online shopping.

    3. It happens to the best of us.. I’ve gotten as far as re-writing my to do list some weeks 🙂

    4. Ha! I had tons of things on the to-do list but my girls and I made cookies instead yesterday. I can so relate!

    5. Okay if you’re the Queen than I’m your long lost cousin that is also the Queen of Procrastination. I will add this to my list 🙂

    6. I can never seem to get things done lately ether. Although for me it’s muffins. I think I have made a new batch almost everyday!!

    8. I have loads of sewing projects that need to get worked on.. Dresses for the grandbabies.. Grandbabies?? the oldest is soon to be 6 and the middle is soon to be 4 2 days after..LOL..and my youngest is 3.. Yep they are grandbabies… My other to do list can wait…

      • Lists are important! As is highlighting things in my calendar! I can’t believe I forgot to put that one on my list!

    10. That sounds like my kind of day. You definitely have some cometition for that crown from me; that is, unless I put off fighting you for it until after I’ve checked Facebook……

      • Should I confess to you that today I also baked a cake! My kids love when I have writers block!

    12. Once I have a minute to myself, when baby boy takes a nap and the 4 year old is at school, I also am the QUEEN of procrastination! And you know what…I don’t care if I am! I deserve a minute to sit on my butt and do whatever I want for a bit. 🙂

      • You are so right, there are times when those moments of sitting on our butts are much deserved! (and with two babes under 4 you deserve a lot of them!)

      • Making lists and scratching things off, sometimes that is the only thing I get done in a day!
