Molly Smith: Crafting + Procrastination = FAIL!

Crafting + Procrastination = FAIL!

I printed and started this list at the beginning of the year, obviously putting it off each week. I photographed it a couple of weeks ago intending to do a blog post at that time (BIG sigh).

I really am trying to tackle this pathetic characteristic of mine. My husband is also a procrastinator so we are major ENABLERS. I am going to fix me first and then work on him :o)

I'm an Organizing Junkie
Laura (favorite new find for 2011)

Her post today is her menu for the week! Plus 380+ comments posting their blogs with a weekly menu.

Laura wrote this blog on the Organizing Your Way blog:

Tips-for-Dealing-with-Procrastination

Here is a bonus link. Complete Organizing Solutions. Tanna Clark is an office supply junkie... now I can relate to this. She is also a Professional Organizer.

Do you have any favorite procrastination tips or organizing links?

Enjoy and happy Tuesday,
~Molly

Ann said...: Sorry, no tips at all. :) My husband and I are just like you and yours - total enablers - ha! In fact my mother once told me, "You get a lot done, but always take your time about doing it."... so I guess that's what counts, right?! My husband can still pull an all-nighter if he has to, and I think he actually enjoys the stress of doing things last-minute.; February 8, 2011 at 9:11 AM
Molly Smith said...: Thanks, Ann! lol I definitely work better under pressure and have tried to change that .... forever! I got it from my dad (who I think is the best businessman EVER) so that is one of my excuses to just be who I am when it is convenient (I have a list of excuses to put things off, of course).

Ann said...: When it comes to organizing I'm merely a wanna be. I have very good intentions but because I'm also a HUGE procrastinator it just never happens. Maybe we should start a club, "Procrastinators Anonymous"; February 8, 2011 at 3:26 PM

Molly Smith said...: Thanks for dropping by and commenting, Jennifer! And I really appreciate the link. There are a ton out there and having one recommended is awesome! I really like this one. ~Molly; February 9, 2011 at 9:57 AM
Jennifer said...: Molly- you may also want to try the book "Organizing for the Creative Person" by Dorothy Lehmkuhl. Creative people need different organizing styles than others because they see things in a different way.

You can also search for professional organizers in your area at www.napo.org. There might be someone close to your area that could give you more organizing ideas.
