Finish Dana

I just wanted to fill you in on my .... "Finish."
No (for those of you who are newcomers) I am not learning a new Scandinavian language.
I have simply declared the year 2012 to be a year
where I end the need to procrastinate.

I am currently working on finishing my  Project Baby photos... in color

And I use the word need on purpose.
I realized Procrastination had become a crutch I relied on heavily.
"It's just the way I am"
"I just can't concentrate"
"I didn't get the gene that allows you to focus"
ya da ya da ya...

I truly thought I had DADD. (Domestic Attention Deficit Disorder)
I was self diagnosed.
So I didn't have any prescription to help with treatment.

Basically I was scott free.
The perfect alibi to live like a fruit fly.

and Black and White

But having worked on trying to live with my word Finish over the last month,
I think I've realized I simply had DL2BBS.  (Don't Like 2 B Bored Syndrome)
I like to shorten it to simply... BS.

So how is it going?

Well.

Really well.

So well ....I hate it.

I am finishing the Project to show you all.

I am finishing whatever it is I've started... for the most part.
Some days are better than others.
I literally decide to do something and as soon as I start to lose focus I simply say Finish Dana... Finish.

Over and
Over and
Over again.

Usually in my head, but sometimes I need to say it out loud and use a stern voice;
until I'm done.

My need to procrastinate is so strong I literally have to strong arm my thoughts to Finish.
It's a war I wage each and every day.

But my friends,
I am happy to report.
It is a war I am winning.

Doesn't Mrs. D rock preggo pictures?

Now really, I shouldn't have actually written this post,
as I have many household responsibilities I should have finished first.
Suffice to say, some days are more successful than others.

It's been a huge step in the right direction.

I am very happy with the new

"Finish Dana."

....Even though she didn't get to visit any Scandinavian countries.

Which, when she thinks about it, is kind of a bummer.

xoxo,

PS Please forward this on to anyone you know who experience Scatter-brain-edness.
      The word Finish is very powerful!
      I may have to patent it!
      It has made a difference here at the Bungalow.
      Tell the world friends.  Pass it on to all those who suffer.
