If you were to open my day planner up right now you’d see 2 weeks of the same thing on each day. I don’t do them one day, so I write them out again the next day and swear I will do them. This will go on and on until it I do it or it is impossible not to do it. Funny…now that I write that out I recognize a familar pattern I use with my snooze button. Who hits the snooze button every 5 minutes for over an hour? Anyway…I digress.
Here is my list. It’s all wedding related. I’m hoping if I put it here I will have the motivation.
1) Call _____ catering
2) Call about linens
3) Call about hotel block(s)
4) Get ring re-plated (or flashed or dipped or whatever - it’s white gold)
5) Write addresses on save-the-date envelopes
6) Call rental company about chairs, tables, tent for backup
6 things. Are any of them particularly difficult? No. Why am I not doing them? I dunno. Maybe because I hate talking on the phone. That’s lame. I’m going to go try to do this now…after I make a couple phone calls…

I use a weekly Procrastinator’s planner with funny headings like: gotta do this week, should have done long ago, waiting for inspiration, trying to delegate, holding out for pressure, hoping it goes away.
I hit my snooze button every 10 minutes for over an hour. And I hate making phone calls also (so much easier to just get them over with though). I’d love to do #5, however, because I love addressing envelopes :o)
Hi Farrah!
You can address my envelopes. After I decide who I’m sending them to and who I am not. And then you can let me read your blog.
Where did you get this procrastinators planner?
Hi Jessie!
I have really nice printing! I’m not blogging at the moment — I’m too focused on my job that I might be losing to do much else.
The procrastinators planner is at any of the calendar stores/kiosks in the malls. I waited until the end of January to get mine — how appropriate, no? (I’m getting the one for 2008 for St. Nicks). Here’s the link for it at Amazon: http://www.amazon.com/Procrastinators-SOS-Planner-2008-Calendar/dp/0740767267/ref=pd_bbs_sr_1/102-8552081-6592957?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1194197279&sr=8-1
I don’t miss wedding burnout. I think every bride hits a wall–well, at least normal sane women who happen to be brides hit that wall.
Farrah, you might be losing your job?
Jessie, I do the same thing, only with my to-do list at work. There’s always like three things per week that end up on my list every single day. I just keep carrying them forward, thinking that the next day I’ll magically WANT to do them. Yeah, that never happens. But they do eventually get done.
