Sue's notes to self

Well here I am, my first blog. I meant to do it yesterday, but somehow there was always something else better to do. So why start one then?

Two, no three days ago, I made a ‘note to self’ about not delaying getting out of bed in the morning with yet another daily online puzzle. So far it has not worked, despite my resolve. Why is it that I am so loath to actually get up and dressed before doing anything else? Why do I insist on visiting every known (to me, but I don’t need any more suggestions thank you very much) online word games or number challenges? It gets worse when I don’t have a morning appointment, because then I play the various games on my tablet which are currently allowing me to while away time when I should be working/ doing housework/ gardening / doing something constructive.

I am not usually a procrastinator, preferring to get things done on time, before anyone has to chase me for it. I am even known to get annoyed with those around me who have developed the art of procrastination to an even higher level of expertise. What is it about mornings? I’m not a teenager, in fact very far from it! I sleep reasonably well, especially in front of the TV in the evening.

You know, I reckon it might be that I need these challenges to wake my brain up as well as my body. My desk is covered with lists and other ‘notes to self’, which I have to prioritise – that is if I can read what I wrote. Maybe, just maybe, the morning ritual of ‘…dles’ is my answer to a quick workout, except for me it is my mind that needs enlivening?

Well, I have now added yet another possible daily exercise in pondering and putting off what I am really supposed to be doing. Note to self – blog in the evening when there is nothing else left to do!

However, I don’t expect to manage to blog daily. After all, an adept in the gentle art of procrastination cannot be expected to do everything to schedule!
