I’m Alive

Posted in Uncategorized at 12:24 am by April

Wow. I haven’t blogged in a long long time. Some of you may be wondering if I’m dead or alive… Well, folks. I’m alive. I’ve just been stressing out a little lately. Lots of stuff going on in my world. Hopefully life will get back to a reasonably manageable (is that spelled right?) pace sometime soon.

Well, let me rephrase that. I want to be busy. I want to have lots of work. I want months like this one was every single month… better even, but what I don’t want is to let myself get overwhelmed by poor time management. I do work my ass off, I really do. If you know me very well you know that, but I’ll also admit that I tend to screw around a lot. I guess the deal is when I work, I really really work, and when I don’t, well, I really really don’t. I say “I’ll just do it later” way too much. Definitely my biggest downfall. Ahhh, procrastination, I know you too well… saying I’ll finish something later and letting half-finished, due tomorrow projects eat me alive . Bad, bad, bad.

And I know it.

I guess that’s the first step though, admitting the problem. Maybe the second step is publicly humiliating yourself by blogging about the problem so that everyone and their dog thinks you’re an unreliable lazy-ass. Oops. Well, I’m not an unreliable lazy-ass. Things do get done, and when I’m focused, stay out of my way. It would just make my life a lot easier and even more productive than it is now if I could pace myself better and not be so all-or-nothing all the time. Do a little here, a little there.

I guess that’s my New Year’s Resolution. Well, people, wish me luck. Out of curiousity, any tips from the peanut gallery? If you have something really good, comment. I could use the advice.
