There is never enough.
I would love to say I am organized and have it all figured
out.
I would love to sit here and say that I don’t have a ton of
laundry, dishes are done and groceries are bought.
I would love to say in three hours when I have to pick up
my 3 year old dinner will be done and the bathroom will
be clean.
I would love to. But it’s not.
I’ll be the first to admit, I am a self proclaimed master
procrastinator, that I will wait to the last minute and
most of the time to the very last second.
There once was a time I was going on a quick Vegas trip
with a friend and I had waited so long to pack that I
ended up not doing it at all.
We had to make a quick Target run when we got there
because I needed to look like I didn’t just sleep on the
strip.
I'm not one to be told what to do or where to go. I have
lived on my own since I was sixteen for that very
reason.
I don’t know if its the confines of time that makes me
want to jump a bridge or lack of respect for time that
makes “ 5 more minutes” my anthem.
I can have a million things to do (like all the mentioned
above) and still find a way to make a temporary
distraction to avoid it all.
Like writing this blog.
New Years is coming up and I was on Instagram reading
peoples resolutions, which are basically empty self
made promises.
I started to think….why not today?
Why wait for the first of the year or Monday or in 5
minutes?
Why wait to better ourselves for ourselves?
Why give ourselves a deadline for bad habits?
Why not just give up the habit of “needing” to mentally
prepare for physical change?
In the new year I hope to be more organized. So I
bought a planner.
In the new year I hope to use time more wisely. So I will
be more productive.
In the new year I hope to make more time for myself. So
I will make me a priority.
These are things I want for myself in 2019. I will make
the most of the time I have in 2018 by changing habits
now so that when january rolls around
I will have already made the changes in myself by
myself for myself. Now I don’t know if my going to the
gym by 8:30 am and using my planner that I
intend to actually use this year will help. But I can at
least try.
I hope that in the new year you are aware that time
goes on and the sun sets whether you wash the dishes
or not. So stop waiting for “5 more minutes” to do them
and just
wash the damn dishes! You’ll have more time and less
stress by just doing what your wasting your time
dreading. I promise. The dishes will be clean and you
will have probably
gained more time in your day being productive because
once we are up, we are up. And lets face it “5 more
minutes” is never just “5 more minutes”.
Here's to the new year and new changes so that at the
end of 2019 we are better then we were at the
beginning
