Re: Happy New Year
I'm going to be a great-grand-aunt in July. That makes it a year to look forward to.

Re: Happy New Year
Congratulations Maggie !
In one way, I'm not so sure I want to become a Great-Grandfather. Thankfully - little chance at the moment.

Fantastic, Maggie! Congratulations! But... great-grand-aunt? By what complication of relatives is this achieved?midget wrote:I'm going to be a great-grand-aunt in July. That makes it a year to look forward to.

My sister's daughter's daughter is pregnant! I think great- grand-aunt sounds more impressive than great-great!

Re: Happy New Year
Now I see! It is a splendid title... I think it's time I encouraged my great-niece to give up her wild life. I keep up with it on Facebook - tsk! - but now I'm aspiring to great-grand-aunthood.... 
Anyway, it's New Year and I have resolved to improve regarding my bad habit of Procrastination.
The habit that had me doing my needlework on the landing of 6's through the long night before Needlework was due in!
I attempted to print out an improving article from The Times on Procrastination, but strangely, my printer went into some sort of mystery IT spasm; coughing, choking and refusing to print. The next day, I switched on, and slowly, agonisedly, the article chomped out. You see? Even my printer procrastinates on printing about Procrastination!
So - a Happy and Preposterous New Blue Year to everyone!

Re: Happy New Year
We procrastinate until the stress of not doing something becomes greater than the stress of doing it. Or at least, that's the best explanation I've ever seen for it anyway. It has helped me not to beat myself up quite so much about procrastinating because I know I'll (usually) get things done anyway, somehow, even if I leave it to the last minute.Angela Woodford wrote:Now I see!

I am getting better about getting started on stuff but my other bad habit is to feel so smug about making an early start that I fail to notice time going by and I end up finishing off in a flap anyway
The best book I have ever read on the subject, which doesn't trot out the tired old time management clichés but actually gives some useful advice, is Get everything done (and still have time to play) by Mark Forster. In particular there is a great tip for spreading your time round a number of different tasks.
Sorry, got off on a diversion a bit there......
Happy New Year everyone!Jo
