Choices: When you want to do something other than....

Chores!  I am the great procrastinator of all time.  When it comes to chores (house/yard work) I can think of a million things I would rather do.  And yet, I like a clean and tidy house and yard.  I think part of the problem is that I become so distracted... I pick up something in one room that belongs somewhere else and when I get to the room where it belongs I see something else that needs to be done.  Consequently, it takes me all day, hurrying and scurrying, and I don't get anything accomplished and I'm bone tired.

Today I have decided on picking one chore... seeing it through to the end and then I can pick one thing I really want to do.  I can read a book, watch a program I recorded, play golf or bowl on my WII game.  Maybe this way I can work my way through the house one chore at a time.

"I make no secret of the fact that I would rather lie on a sofa than sweep beneath it. But you have to be efficient if you're going to be lazy."
