Admittedly, I have always procrastinated to get things done...my type A perfectionism sometimes slows me down...but I often get the most creative ideas at the eleventh hour. Deadlines are always met-who needs sleep?!?!
When we moved three years ago I tried to leave a lot of my bad habits behind and also establish new routines and stick to them.
Since I am a decorating fiend for most holidays there are a lot of tubs of decorations in our garage. Each tub is labeled by holiday and contains a mixture of home made and purchased decorations. As each holiday approaches I eagerly open the tubs and look through what is in each deciding what can be given away and what will be used. Any items I make or acquire during the year go right into the correct box. Additionally, any items that need cleaning or repairs are left out until they are ready to be returned. Seeing the out of season decor reminds me to get things done and get them back where they belong more quickly and I am relieved when I open up a tub next year and everything is ready to be displayed right away.
Hoping that I can complete a lot of partially complete projects in the new year and get them holiday ready or in their tub as soon as possible.
Hope you can join me!
I am trying this too!!!! Feels so good.
