after many years of 'procastinating' over one thing or another for whatever reason or excuse, I actively decided that this year was going to be different. The results have been amazing.
I feel far more positive in general and am rapidly achieving a sense of self worth and sucess.
are you a procastinator? if so what things do you tend to 'put off' till a better day or time :p
just some of the small things I used to do [or rather not do] was opening post, filing of important papers i.e vehicle documents, bills etc
these are just some of the smaller things that actually mounted up into a massive overall picture of chaos around my home. I have put into place other things that I used to just sit and think about and know that they needed acting on but never get around to doing anything about and have acheived fantastic results
*edit* strange - I edited the title to the correct spelling but it shows up fine when edited and then i saved it but still showing the mispelt title when I am out of edit mode :rolleyes:

but I have one major thing that I have been 'thinking' about doing for years now and when i get back from holiday I will be embarking on the first steps of getting it into motion, I would say what it is but in a way i dont want to jinx it, it is a massive risk in some respects but if all goes well the outcome will be life changing :o

lol just thought of another stupid thing I would do, buy a family member a birthday card and write it out etc but because I soooo hate going to the post office I used to say 'oh I'll do that tomorrow' and so on until the birthday came and went :o
ditto with xmas cards too....for years and years I have done that :o

I always recall that old saying,
Never put off 'til tomorrow.....what you can put off 'til next week.

what I have realised is that by doing the little things instead of putting them off it gradually gives you the gumption to get on with bigger things you would think are unacheivable

I solved the problem of not posting cards off in time. I bought a good selection and a load of stamps. I then give the duly stamped card to the postman at the appropriate time. I do have an excuse. There are only 2 post boxes here. One is over a mile away across the fields, and the other is almost half a mile away up a very steep hill. I do send e-cards a lot though. Children love the animated ones with music, or games in them.
