Day 17: CHECK LISTS!

Most of you who know me, know that I love making lists about everything and I really LOVE checking things OFF the list.  That feeling of accomplishment is pretty high up on the best "highs" in life!
It is really hard this time of year to keep up when the list is longer and longer.  I tend to want to shut down and procrastinate.

The little bit of orange showing is the journal for 2019...

A whole year of possibility!!!

When that overwhelming feeling kicks in, it is really important to look back at my Bullet Journal and see all the red ink.  This reminds me at a quick glance that things are getting done even when not as quickly as I may like.

Here is your Holiday Reminder to slow down, not everything NEEDS to get done, and enjoy the happy moments this season is suppose to bring to each of us!

Day 14: Procrastination!

I would like to say that I was procrastinating because there is one thing that I just don't want to do. 
Unfortunately I have a life long struggle with this issue.  The work list is long and I tend to feel overwhelmed easily somedays so that day's list doesn't get done which adds to the next and the next and the …… Now I am deep in the rabbit hole so why bother?? !!!

I like to have a pic or two for you when you take the time to come over to the blog and not just click like on the FB post so I went in search of....

I about fell out of my chair laughing at this one!!!  There are lots of phrases or memes but no real photographs that represent.  
This one takes the cake:)

About the only thing in my life that I DO NOT Procrastinate on is quilting and spending time with my family!  Many things get put off so that I can sit and quilt.  Thankfully with 'Hand Quilting' services as part of my job, I can still count myself as working:)
So this next meme definitely describes me:

OR, finishing supply lists, updating websites, marketing myself, writing patterns...…… The housework is the least of my worries since I have a wonderful husband who picks up the slack when I am in the 'zone' (which is any day I can do it).

I feel this time of year overwhelms us easily and we need to be kinder to ourselves.  IT doesn't all NEED to get done!  My husband likes to continually remind me that NEED is a very strong word.  He is right.  Our needs overall are small even when you run a business.  Give yourself permission to take just one thing off your To Do list and you will feel a bit of relief.  That relief gives you strength to do it again and so on....  Mental health is very important and sometimes procrastination can be a good thing.
