Take the Time Now

How often do I look at my email, poke a few mail items gone, and then say I’ll come back and clear out the whole thing later. This happens 25 days out of the month and maybe once a month I actually read what’s in there, apply it where necessary, get the sparkly clean email box certificate for cleaning it, and start all over. But by this point, the cleaning out takes me staying up until midnight.

My husband’s wall pocket over the desk has been an eyesore with overflowing undone filing until our taxes were done yesterday. We’d even bought him an expanding file to file the receipts away as he received them. But he chose to lean right instead of left and put them up there instead of down in the file. Literally, the only difference and extra effort would have been to open a drawer and look for the proper tab to drop the paper behind.

I keep putting my daughter off. “Will you play with me” she pleads. But I say “no”, I have to go do important Mommy stuff now little sister. Oh sorry, Big Sister. Except that if I were to lean into that request and indulge her for ten minutes, she’d happily leave me alone for the rest of the day. So the proactivity of paying full attention to her or any other of the many tasks I delay every day, could end up making my life a little easier. Being present can be a present and keep you from dragging your indecision and laziness into a future spot to torture you more. Instead of dreading, head the task off at the pass and you’ll be not only doing more but proud of yourself.
