Remember when I said I was back on track, and going to kick ass in my DIY projects? Maybe those weren't my exact words, but they were my intensions. Turns out my intensions didn't over power my procrastination.
I have a couple of excuses (I worked a funky schedule one week, which threw me off; I got sick; blah blah blah), but the truth is, I never got around to fully planning how to attack the furniture painting. Or the picture project (select photos to hang in my awesome frame set I got for christmas). Or the office project. I even told my roomate I was going to organize my corner of the office. She laughed. I think she knew that I'm a lot of talk, and little action.
But that was supposed to change this year! I'm supposed to be accomplishing each thing I set out to do each month. But...I'm really just finding more things I want to do, and adding them to the list of things I haven't done.
What I did in March:
1. Ran a half marathon (woot! Still proud of that)
2. Bought a laptop
3. Fill out my tax forms
What I wanted to do in March:
1. Run a half marathon
2. Repaint my furniture
3. Hang my photos
4. Organize my office
I'm going to take this month as a teaching point. I'm teaching myself that I was unhappy not accomplishing something, or even dedicating myself to something for 30 days at a time. I was much happier in Feburary when I had a goal, even if I didn't finish it (I'm talking about the Shred, not training). Maybe I wasn't clear enough with myself in March as to what my goals were. So next month (er, this month) it's back to basics, one goal at a time, focus focus focus!
