I watched it. And I had an epiphany...of sorts..
I am that cartoon dude. His logic makes complete sense to me. You don't have to watch the video...but if you do, THAT is what I look like during the day.
I thought I was only a "rare-only-on-certain-occasions" procrastinator. Not true.
I viewed procrastinators as not getting anything done or completely done until the last minute. And I get all kinds of stuff done. All kinds of stuff that I don't really need to do in order to avoid that which I do need to do. It can even be something that I ENJOY doing, I'll still likely put it off with other busyness.
For example, I really need to paint the trim-thingy in the bathroom TODAY. Yet I think it will be easier to paint the trim if I first clean up the kitchen and throw a load of laundry in. But I should finish making the scotcharoo bars because then I can do the dishes all at once. And then I'm distracted by the bars...which go great with coffee...which go great with writing a blog post. And here I sit. No laundry going. Pans in the sink. No paint in sight.
I did, however, consume the coffee and chocolatey/peanutbuttery bar of goodness.

In the end, coffee and chocolate are all that really matter anyway, RIGHT??:)
ReplyDeleteIf you've consumed the coffee and chocolatey/peanutbuttery bar...what's the problem? Sounds to me like you've taken care of the important stuff!!! ;-)
ReplyDeleteThis is why you are one of my very favorite people!
ReplyDeleteLindy and Ethan say I do that all the time which is why I'm almost always running behind schedule and late. :)
ReplyDeleteHehehe. I saw this on her blog too.. and love it! I can relate to it quite a bit - but even more than that I had a good laugh because it is SO Dave!! :) Helped me "get" his a little better.
ReplyDeleteI agree with Rachel. Chocolate should come first!!!! Have a great Thursday!
ReplyDeleteI love your post today! You are an inspiration!
ReplyDeleteOH MY! That is my day today =) YIKES... I need to get my "stuff done" THANKS for being one of my distractions today =) I LOVED IT!! HAHA!!
ReplyDeleteGotta love the scotteroos! I think the original recipe is from Betty Arns! haha
ReplyDeleteI just thought I would let you know that I POSTED your link on my blog page =) http://pameeb.blogspot.com/
ReplyDeleteThanks for making my day =)
Well you have done the most important ideas for the day, consumed the coffe and the chocolatey/peanuttybuttery bar. That is the most important.
ReplyDeleteOh I can so relate to this little
clip. Thanks for sharing!!
If that is YOU... and it is ME TOO, does that make us sisters?
ReplyDeleteYou're pregnant. You ate. Mission accomplished. Right?
ReplyDeleteYou can paint tomorrow.
I'm terrible at this. I do the very same thing. I can't even put away a pile of clothes without doing 20 other things before, during, and between.

Your logic makes perfect sense to me. Right there with ya!
ReplyDeletekinda like the book "If you give a Mouse a cookie." but only a new book called "If you give a Mom a Scotcharoo"
ReplyDeleteLove that video. We are all that dude at some point. Look how long it took me to get to this blog post.
ReplyDeleteMakes perfect sense to me!
ReplyDeleteThis is so my issue as well. It takes a lot of self discipline to be focused long enough to get done the one thing I started to do, that I usually end up rewarding my efforts with a chocolaty-peanutbuttery bar of goodness so I think you are on the right track.
ReplyDeletethat is SO me too! oh my goodness! gonna send this to david
ReplyDeleteyay for consuming the coffee and chocolatey/peanutbuttery bar!!
Wow. That is totally me. We could have been seperated at birth. Your day sounds absolutely logical to me in a completely-not-logical-to-anyone-in-their-right-mind kind of way.
