Welcome to Cherie's blog!
22 Oct 2009 3:07 PM
Achieved!!
Walls can wait ... everything else done... Yeehaaah!
The sun is just peeking and I finished that shovelling. Spreading mulch is hard work so a lesson learned .. do not order a truck load again ... it takes weeks to shovel the stuff away!
Vicky thinks I am MAD .. "It's Saturday girl .. you are supposed to sleep in!" .. hence the pic.
It's weekend ... time to socialise .. have a good one won't you
****************************************************************
Do any of you ladies go overboard like me ... start one job .. then another ... then another ... only to have 5 unfinished things on the go at once?
Grrr .. I get mad at myself. One thing Cherie ... you start one thing and then you FINISH it ... got it?
At the moment I have in process ..
1: Pack away my winter gear (for we REALLY don't have a winter) ... why I keep these clothes is beyond me! Well .. perhaps one day I will go visit a place that is cold ... Cough! Will I give them to charity ... ahhh .. yes... no ... undecided. So I have piles sitting while I am still deciding.
2: Wash the curtins ... but to me that seems to involve washing the walls .. why can't I just wash those CURTAINS .. so neither is finished.
3: Still have about 10 barrow loads of mulch to put out in the garden ... put a few out yesterday in Vicky's garden (the lady who owns the other cottage on the block) but got into cleaning it all up ... 3 hours later ... the mulch was STILL not put out!
4: Did the floor thing, vacumed and mopped ... but instead I HAD to get down on all fours and SCRUB them didn't I ... and I STILL need to do the bedrooms!!
5: Putting together stuff for charity ... bags of stuff neatly stacked ... BUT still not gone through ALL the cupboards!
Is this a disorder? Gosh I hope it isn't an age thing .. naaah .. we aren't really THAT old now are we .. just really matured adolescents.
So get back to work Cherie .. coffee break is over ... up you get ... go work up another sweat and finish SOMETHING!!!
Rembering the 3 easy steps to accomplishing something Cherie
Start ... Do... Finish!!
And don't forget that you have to go out and work ... so be organised huh?

I know what you're saying Cherie - I'm hearing you!
I had to take myself severely in hand about 'procrastinating'.. I would have several things on the go and not get any finished because there was always something else I wanted to do more - like go and get a movie or read a book or garden.. BUT... it was getting really stressful because I started doing it at work... that's a no no.
sooooo - I began to prioritise and stop being so bl**dy pedantic... You know, it is only this year that I heard that procrastinators are perfectionists... sound familiar?
And its true for me - plus - this must be my wake up year because I've realised and admitted a lot of stuff about myself that I had not owned up to before. Isn't that crazy? How can I put my head in the sand without realising it and pretend I am so very 'with it' and up to date!!
Anyway.... I've got it sussed and am very firm with myself now. You know, it feels really good when I complete something and see the results - so now I'm just busy and not 'procrastinating' all the time.
First Rule!
Make the decision
Prioritise
Focus
Head down b*m up
Get it done
Then read, watch movies
Feels Good!
Luvya Cherie ^__^
send those winter clothes to me cherie! its always freezing here in uk,lol.
i have so many clothes.maybe ill slim down into,maybe ill go somewhere posh to wear it,ill buy something to match it,and bric a brac!i start collections,only from car boot or charity shops.then change decor or mind so off i go again. luckily i can take them to charity shops. my bedroom looks like a jumble sale as i take clean washing up and never get round to hanging it.so your not alone,its not an age thing,its a girl thing,lol...so i keep trying to convince myself.x

What happens when you complete those projects?
Type (A) personalities would try to find something else to do. That causes stress.
Better for you to have something to look forward to do someday than to stress yourself.
Mix a nice strong drink, go out on your patio and enjoy the day. Then call someone to come and pick up those bags that are neatly stacked. #5.
After that grab another drink and relax. That's plenty for now.

Now Cherie , there's no point to getting stressed about Spring cleaning it will be there when you're not ..............thats my motto!!!! Just do it as it needs doing not because it's Spring, come on Cherie yer not thinking straight lassie dont give yourself more work just for the sake of it. Chill, pour a wee glass of wine and put your feet up..................bet you feel better doing that than scrubbing floors.
Hugs to you ma wee flower...................... Katiew xxx
