Procrastination Princess

When did I become this person? Someone with a disinclination to get things done. Whether it’s paperwork, an errand or even a phone call, doesn’t matter, I will delay checking it off my list. And I LOVE checking things off my list. Who is this procrastination princess?

Honestly, I think it began for me once we started rolling out of the pandemic. Maybe I just didn’t want to interact with people, maybe I didn’t want to go out in public, or slowly make my way out in public on my own time, or maybe I just learned to prioritize to-dos a little differently.

I was worried for a bit that I became too lazy during the pandemic and therefore my motivation was nothing. I could still make a case for that argument, but I think I’ve become a less is more person. I don’t want my days to look like a hot mess of madness. I get stuff done, just not at the crazy level of activity of my past. Maybe it’s just age! Nothing to see here, just an older lady who is slowing down a bit, lol.

As with my Lean Into Winter blog post, I’m going to just lean into this one too. Own the procrastination. Name it Procrastination Princess and move on my merry little old way. I’ll keep 1-3 hot button to-do items for any given day and know the never ending to-do list will never be cleared out. It will be there, for when I have the time to tackle something. I trust myself that eventually things get done. Even if Procrastination Princess is in charge.
