There is probably something that you have put off doing. I challenge you to see if you can tackle and finish that project, within the next 7 days. Come on, I bet if you did finish it, you would be less stressed out, and be glad that you finally finished it.
So....
What have you put off finishing, and what you are you going to do about it?
My procrastination items I am tackling
Go to a local business to find out if something I lost is still in the lost and found (I was too embarrassed to ask for it back).
I will finish my long overdue thank you notes from my graduation party.
Fold and put away the mountain of clean laundry in the laundry room.
What about you?

Actually, StormDevil, my plan IS to do all of those things today...but I want to give others a goal to do their things in the next 7 days.
And actually it might be a good idea for me to have someone to be accountable to, to finish these items. So now you've given me a push to finish those items today...thanks!
I have checked the lost and found...the item is long gone. I also went and purchased the stamps and cleared the space to finish the thank yous. After that I should be able to use the table to fold about 12 baskets of laundry. You can hold me accountable on doing these. Thanks!

Ok,that's weird...I got to this question late,but had just been thinking about the very same thing and just spent some quality time,in the blistering heat of Florida's sun,completing a Bonsai related task,that I have been putting off...then came in to avoid heat stroke,only to be met with this challenge..Thanks for the adomonishment...I am certain that all of us waste too much valuable time or as member and brother, "Kait",has pointed out..seem to find more excuses,than there are actual tasks,that should be attended to....
I think the Angels have been messin' with the thermostat,upstairs...sheesh.. "Tropical Paradise"..yeah,whatever.

I've been doing those 'long awaiting' projects over the past few weeks.... but still have a few rooms to finish....
I started 'deep cleaning' the house about 2 weeks ago.... I actually started with my van.... detailed it inside and out... even spent hours cleaning the seats and carpets with the carpet cleaner!
I have my bedroom left and 2 of the bathrooms.... but it is all coming together! YAY
Thanks for the reminder to keep on keeping on!

Okay. I'll accept your challenge. I'll finish putting the front suspension back together on the partially-disassembled Fiat Spider in my garage so I can enjoy open-air motoring for the rest of the summer.

Nothing. I am obsessive/compulsive about getting things done and completed. I have lesson plans done 2 weeks ahead of schedule. I have papers run off a month in advance.
Sorry to disappoint you.
We're not all procrastinators.

I guess the one thing is to move the washer and dryer (and tear out a pantry), so I can put carpet down in the back entry.

Thanks for the challenge. I have been trying to make time to pressure wash my sun deck for the last month, but my excuse has been, "I am too busy working all the time or the weather is not right." It is raining today, so I will have to wait for tomorrow. I hope it doesn't rain again.

Write an internet chess game in C++ so my dad and I can play it even while I'm away from home.
