Procrastination
Hey y'all - it's me again. I've been doing what a lot of you are probably doing on a Sunday afternoon: perusing Facebook and Pinterest and maybe Instagram and Twitter. While I'm looking, especially at my neat, organized, very highly interesting Pinterest boards, I'm thinking to myself "when on earth am I ever going to have time to really make any of these crafts, bake any of these cakes, remodel my bathroom or kitchen?" And it's depressing me.
Many of you are my friends on Facebook and may remember a recent tirade I posted about wanting to work part-time instead of the 40 hours per week I work now. I'm still torn. Can we afford for me to drop hours and earn less? I think we certainly could if either of us were willing to sacrifice. Sacrifice what? Mostly crap we don't need. Satellite television that we only have so we can watch every NFL game, every week. Satellite television that I hate. More shopping networks than anyone ever needs to watch. Sacrifice what? Eating out twice a week. Expensive and not always good for me. Those are a good start.
So: am I procrastinating because I work more than I want to? Am I working more than I want to because someday I want to be able to do all these things like redecorate and bake all day?
Let me know - I'd love to hear from some or all of you about what and why you procrastinate. What is really holding us back?

What IS holding you back? I'd love to see this idea made reality... :) There is no reason not to do or have all the things you've ever wanted. Motivate yourself! I'm doing the same. Love you.
