What are you dreading/seriously procrastinating right now?

Asked by poofandmook (17320points) December 2nd, 2009

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.

cleaning out my garage. I have to keep telling myself “you eat an elephant one bite at a time”

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.
