Really? That would be okay? But if I keep putting things off, I'll NEVER get anything done. As I said, this battle with myself has been going on for 50 years and I have no idea how to change it. It's a bad habit, like biting your nails or slouching. I read somewhere that the best way to change a bad habit is to replace it with a good habit, but that the change won't be permanent until you've practiced the new habit for 12 weeks and it's become second nature. But I have yet to come up with a new behavior that makes sense to replace the old one. I've tried meditating, praying, Freecell(!), bribing myself, cognitive therapy exercises, everything. Nothing works. Is there a Procrastinator's Anonymous meeting I could go to? I've even been working on this with my shrink. I'm sure it's some deep-seated childhood issue, but darned if I know what.
Okay, I HAVE DONE MY EXERCISES!!!! You think I should skip the walk and just take a shower?? I know, one of my tricks is flipping a coin (no lie). Heads I'll walk, tails I won't. TAILS!!!!! YAY!!!!!!
See, Barbie, I still have my sense of humor. I was famous in my office for using a coin toss as my "executive decision making" tool!!
Okay, I'm off to the shower. Then we'll see...
Thanks, everybody!! You're the bestest!!
