Happy Procrastination Week!
Procrastination week is the first 2 weeks of March, but I don't always get around to celebrating then, so I am doing it now....
Procrastination week celebrates 'positive procrastination' and, in this mad, fast paced world where everything needs to be done 5 mins ago, it encourages people to slow down and put off things that can be put off.
Here are 5 things I have been procrastinating about lately:
1. I put off designing a new collection- yep we have had less launches this year...
2. I put off celebrating world procrastination week(sure, we're a little late)
3. I bought stuff on Afterpay- its like procrastination for money (you can do some procrasti-shopping here)...I shall now refer to is as Pro-crafti-pay...
4. Procrasti-baking where all delicious muffins and cupcakes come from...
5. Pro-craft-inating...which started out with cleaning my studio but ended up with me discovering and playing with lots of craft supplies I had forgotten about. (Also check out my procraftinator pin)
I'll be honest, procrastinating has been so much of my life that I have now figured out how to make it a positive thing. If I don't want to clean my house I start working on my taxes(which I hate) and suddenly cleaning my house is more appealing.
If I don't want to go out an socialise I start doing my taxes and suddenly going out is more appealing...do you sense a theme? It is basically blackmail for my brain.
Because procrastination has been with me my whole life I have learnt to find ways around it. For example, I don't want to pack orders at the moment but fortunately I have an awesome team who is going to pack all the cute Jubly orders for me, Hurrah!
I hope you get a chance to slow down and enjoy Procrastination Week. If you forget just think of this great procrastination quote from Gone With The Wind-
"I won't think about that now, I'll think about that tomorrow"
