What are you dreading/seriously procrastinating right now?

I’m fighting myself to finish my Christmas projects. I took a break because I ran out of materials and didn’t want to go to the craft store around Black Friday. I have finishing touches to put on two, and a whole third one to do. They’re easy, and take relatively little effort or thought now that I’ve done so many and I can breeze through them, but I just CAN. NOT. DO. IT.

What are you putting off right now?

Virtually everything. The holidays are depressing. It’s hard to get anything done this time of year.

I have a few sound cues left to build for a children’s play I’m working on. They are due in six hours and this is the last play I’ll be working on for quite a few months. I just don’t want to get started.

My job (document control) tends to get pretty tedious, so I’ve been seriously procrastinating that for a while now. Luckily i’ve got some IT stuff to tend to.

This is way to classic but cleaning my house. We have to get it done by my due date but it is such a mess due to me being lazy (no other excuse). Argh! Not only that but it’ll take money to do it right and I have to do it right (and am strapped on cash, who isn’t?).

Honestly? Getting dressed. I’ve been walking around half naked all afternoon trying to decide what to wear. I had no clean clothes left so now I’m just waiting on my clothes to come out of the washer.

Going to the dentist. I have a broken tooth on both sides of my mouth for weeks/months but am really phobic (unfortunately my insurance does not cover sedation dentistry & I can’t afford to pay for it). Just made an appt on 12/9 because the one of the left is starting to hurt. <sigh>

Ugh finals. The worst is that I got an independent study approved for the semester. I have yet to start. The professor finally remembered and emailed me to come show him what I have so far. Have to somehow do the whole project within two weeks without him catching on:(

Planning/writing my sketch show. I’d have to acknowledge that I can handle things like an adult and a leader, which frightens me. I am used to being an underling.

Looking for a date. I would have to acknowledge that I am not a child and can handle beong in a relationship, I can handle it if someone I am attracted to isn’t interested, or if all some man wants is to sleep with me and nothing more, then that is no reflection of my worth as a partner.

Lastly, I have procrastinated in emotionally letting some people go. As long as I hang onto them with the childish beliefs I’ve developed about always needing their approval and fearing them at the same time, I may as well still be 4 years old.

I am capable of being, doing, accepting, handling and coping so much more than I’ve allowed myself to be.
