How did life go from me sitting around playing with the kids to constantly making phone calls, sewing bags for the Relief Society humanitarian aid project, putting pictures together for my mom, and making birthday presents for the primary kids? Things have been hectic and that means that I'm finishing things for other people before I do my own stuff.
Well I'm not letting myself get away with it anymore. I may not have time to do much, but I'm going to do something for myself. Over at Virtually Organized, Debbie has started a Procrastination Challenge. The object is to choose a project each month and stop putting it off. Because of all the other things I've got going on, I'm starting with something small. I'm going to finish painting this stool that I bought for Charlie to use in the bathroom.
I haven't decided what exactly I'm going to do with it . . . paint it . . . decoupage maybe . . . but I bought it unfinished in February and it's time to stop putting it off. We'll see how it goes.
Next month, I'm tackling my office.

Congratulations on taking my Procrastination Challenge! I can't wait to see how you transform your son's stool.
Choosing a realistic goal for yourself is a smart move-so many times we pick huge projects yet give ourselves quick deadlines. I've entered you in the drawing for the card cubby prize. Be sure to post your success story when you're done and I'll give you a second entry in the drawing.
Good luck and congratulations on conquering procrastination!!
Debbie
I am totally going to have to check this out - THANKS for finding it for us. I too am up to my eyeballs in all sorts of projects for others (Primary being a BIG one - however, since my kids are in there, it's like I am doing it for my kids). So, I am going to check her out and sign up - I bought fabric for my girls to make little aprons - I think that should be my first project!
I got your homemade gifts the other day and then read this post. . . I'm part of the problem. . . sad.
I appreciate it though, so does that make me less culpable? ;)
Wahoo! Looking forward to watching your project develop! I am tackling my desk this month!
Will be here to encourage you!
