One of my greatest skills is something I call “procrasti-cleaning” aka cleaning or organizing something in my life so as to avoid work or a task I really don’t want to do.
This week’s target? My home office. I had been collecting boxes and files just on the floor under my counter and it was annoying. So a few dollars at online Wal-Mart and some pictorial assembly instructions I have a five cube shelf. I have just enough space for my bags to the side and all the junk from the counter now lives nice underneath.
The cleaner and more organized space really helps me feel calmer and more productive. And then I can usually get back to the task I was avoiding. Anyone else out there have skills like this?
Happy Organizing!!
I typically do procrasti-knitting when I don’t want to clean! haha!!
This is also much more my style!
Welcome, you are amongst friends! 🙂
I’m like ReginaMary and do procrasti-knitting or sewing or just about anything else to avoid cleaning and decluttering.
When I was in college, if I needed to avoid studying, I would clean! My apartment was always at its neatest during finals!
And I still do it, to a smaller extent.
Finally, someone puts a name to it. I procrasti-knit and procrasti-clean a lot.
