If you look up the word procrastinator it will have my face under it.
I just can’t be bothered, I’ve had this week off and I was meant to do so much but it’s now 11.30 on Thursday and I’ve done nothing.
I’m not necessarily lazy I work hard, single Mum blar blar blar but I’ve no gumption. Leave everything to the last possible minute and then push it a bit more.
Any ideas on how to become more of a doer

You’d probably do it if it was really important.

Getting off Mumsnet is probably a good start Grin

A prime example of this is.

The pile of washing which has sat on the floor has made it to my bed in nice neat piles is still sat there while I watch the apprentice and mumsnet it really needs putting away but but but

I'd say The Apprentice takes priority over that any day!

Because it's adoring job that should just Magic away?

We all have times like that - but the best way is to set 20/30 mins in the clock and go for it

If you time putting the washing away and then think about how much you think about doing it - it's quicker just to do it than have your brain bug you about doing it!!
