Procrastination & Stress

A friend once told me that it is the little things that cause the most stress.  I gather the concept is that you are aware of and are dealing with the big issues while the smaller items tend to nag away, leaving you in a perpetual state of stress.

In busier times, it is inevitable that less critical to-do items do not get tended to.  Now I admit – some stem from pure laziness and procrastination.  There was a button from my duvet cover that had been stuck to the edge of my desk for, embarrassingly, over a year.  While things had been hectic, there were numerous times that I thought to myself “I really should sew that button on” and yet, I either thought of it while I was in the midst of doing something else or I just didn’t feel like it in that moment and thought “I’ll get to it…” – but I never did. 

Clearly whether I get the button sewn on or not is really not detrimental; however, when you add up all the little to-dos that keep getting put off they start to weigh you down.

It is nice to know I won’t be thinking about sewing buttons anymore J

So get to it!  We can all use a little less stress in our lives.

Happy organizing!
