Moderation and Procrastination

It seems I have found the break over point between busy and procrastination. What was once an occasional chore put off too long because I was busy now looms it ugly head as the truth comes out. I am now retired from one career and starting my next as a writer. Being a writer has its perks. Working at home in my writers den, I stay in my bathrobe most days until it's time to walk the dog. Although I am busy writing, pj's and a bathrobe pretty much rule out weed pulling, gutter cleaning, and a host of other jobs around the homestead, and delay them till later in the day. Tomorrow? Next week? I love to write. Those things can wait. I'm busy!!

Now, here it is, Saturday morning. This used to be the day I often spent catching up on all my chores. Now I have lost it. Every day, but Sunday, now looks like Saturday to me. Why spoil a perfectly great day like Saturday doing chores? Saturday needs to be a day of fun and relaxation. How about Monday for chore day? I always hated Mondays anyway. I could go back to being miserable on Monday, just like everyone else who hates to go back to work after a fun weekend. Still, I'm not sure I want to go back to having Monday's. Maybe if I did one chore a day, right after my morning walk, I can have my cake and eat it too. Everything in moderation can be my new motto. All this procrastination is making me feel guilty.
