Re: [JFC]: A problem with baby steps

[JDDJSDJK]

This hits so close to home in my household.   I am a huge procrastinator and end up with piles of stuff to do and wash before I finally get it done.   Your statement about waiting and washing a weeks worth of crusty dishes is so true in this house.   Our landlord just got our dishwasher fixed, so I am hoping that this problem will get some better.   It would be so easy for me to load and run the dishwasher everynight and go ahead and wash the pots and pans right then, but "I always have something else that I would rather do", like playing on this computer.

I will have to say that this list has helped a lot, even though I have a long way to go.   Guess I just have to make my mind up to do it.

Lurking and loving the list,
DJ

Someone mentioned today about keeping up with little messes so they don't
become bigger messes.  That hits so close to home.  I think that is my
biggest problem - I wait for little messes to grow HUGE before I do anything
about it.  It's almost like I feel it's a waste of time and energy to wash
one little coffee cup.  Better to wait and take three hours to wash a week's
worth of crusty, yucky dishes.  NOT!  I don't know why I have this little
block.  I KNOW it would be easy to just wash the one cup, or file the one
piece of paper, or wipe off the shower door every day after my shower, but
instead I let everything build up into a crisis.

Please tell me someone else has this same problem!!!  :-)
