Procrastination...Your Enemy

Good to see everyone today. It's going to be a great week.

While we all have so many things to do the truth is if we never get around to them well, they never get done. So procrastination is your enemy. It's the enemy of your time and your money. Now don't think I have lost it here. When you put off taking care of things and then you are forced to repair them it can sometimes cost a lot more.

There is an old saying: "A stitch in time saves nine." Haven't we seen this very thing played out with a little loose hem and when we put off stitching it up the next thing you know the entire hem is hanging? I'm also thinking about changing the filters on the HVAC. When we don't have a regular note to ourself to change them and we finally do we wonder how the thing was even working it was so dirty.

Now none of this is meant to make anyone feel bad. It's a reminder. We have to be willing to help our self. Here's what I mean by that. When I know there are things I need to do they can tend to look like a mobile over a baby's bed. The only difference is it's hanging over my head all the time. LOL. Believe me I've had one so I know the deal about it. But there is a solution.

We have to make a plan to "git 'er done." LOL. Now don't tune this out just yet. Because the answer is not in having a forty foot list and getting it all done at once. Listen. You don't eat an elephant all at once. You eat an eyeball one day then a toenail the next. LOL.

Think about it. Let's say you have eight things on your procrastination list. Okay what if you did just one of them a week. You don't have to do one everyday unless you decide to. Then only eight weeks later you have all those things hanging from the imaginary mobile done. Yes!!

It's easy to think to yourself I'll just do that tomorrow and the next thing you know it's been three whole months. But today you can draw a line in the sand. Today is a new day and a brand new week.

So let's make that list and set a day to do one of them. Who knows you may end up being so excited that you finally got something done that you will do another one and another one. LOL.

So "git 'er done" and stay "Thrifty" this week!!!
