Procrastination over Clutter
Posted by on
Feeling like you havenβt got anything done during the day is not great in itself, but for many of us, this feeling leads to other not so great habits.
Eating β Yes we all need to eat, but eating high sugar or greasy snacks when we feel weβre not getting things done just leaves us feeling far more negatively about ourselves which leads to additional negative behavior. Possibly immediately after eating the junk you will feel satisfied, but ultimately youβll feel like youβve let your self down, that you have no willpower or that youβre not good at anything L Picking β Picking at your skin is a total βno noβ, but so many of us have tones of jobs we need to do, but find ourselves in front of the bathroom mirror βpickingβ. You know how it goes; you pick, your skin goes angry red, possibly open and scabs over later looking worse than it did before! This leads to more negative thought patterns about how βyou know you shouldnβt do thatβ and βhow ugly you now lookβ L Drinking/ Smoking β Drinking and/or smoking can be a part of avoiding stress or anxiousness and/or to escape the feeling of not feeling βenoughβ. Often, you will feel the regret or total ill hangover feeling the next day that leads to the eating (above) followed by the picking (above). You see itβs a never-ending circle; that is unless you get on top of the things you need to do, or want to do i.e. decluttering Soβ¦- Write a small list of what you want to de clutter.
- Make time to actually do it! Put your phone on silent β donβt get distracted!!
- Have something planned post de clutter that you will enjoy once the job is done: go out for diner with friends or go to a Yoga class.
- Enjoy the feeling of accomplishment and βspaceβ you have in your mind to get other jobs done that youβve been putting off forever
