"I do not understand what I do. For what I want to do I do not do, but what I hate I do." Romans 7:15
I hate to procrastinate - or rather I hate what results from my procrastination. But I keep doing it! I sit and think "I need to do this, that, and the other..." and yet - I sit and do none of them. I've gone from someone who used to be the one always a little early - just in case - to someone who's hubby tells her daily that she "really need[s] to work on time management".
Last night I seriously prayed about this and asked God to show me how to be more productive and overcome this issue in me. Here's what I was led to:
* Set the Blackberry to "phone only" during work hours. No more checking every text message, email, Facebook reply, or Tweet as they occur. If it's important (my kids, hubby, mom, etc) - they can call me.
* To Do Lists aren't just for enjoying the pretty, colored Post-Its dotting my desk. I need to actually start DOING the things on them. Knocked out at least 1 item this morning so far. Actually 2, if you count the one that says "Blog!" on one of them.
* Possibly, maybe, perhaps....give up the Blackberry altogether.
I'm still struggling with this last one - however, it would certainly help my first goal, and be cheaper! Since Lent starts tomorrow (thanks for the reminder, Joan!) I may just use that as my "excuse". More updates on this matter as they arise...
So, those are my three short-term goals. Oh, one more - get to work before 10am from now on - which means I gotta go!
Happy "gravitationally challenged" Tuesday, everyone!!

I find myself struggling with the same issues. I get mad at myself that nothing is getting done yet I'm the one who waste time.
Good luck. Actually I hate to say "luck" b/c I don't believe in it from a Bible standpoint so I'll be prayerful about you.
