Write a long list!

Now that I am home for the summer, I am inundated with many projects that I want to do, have to do, need to do and needed to do and have procrastinated about. So I am now using my own strategies in the Procrastinator's Lab to get them done. This week I am trying something Kelly Bliss (of the Plus Size Yellow Pages--www.plussizeyellowpages.com) told me about. She starts at the beginning of the week and writes everything down she hopes to accomplish on Monday. Then she gets them all done by Friday! Yes, it's a trick of the mind, but a good one!
I tried it last week and it did work. I know that I can't accomplish all the things on the list in one day, and it is liberating to know that I don't have to. I just need to write it all down and get it done within a reasonable time frame. I have always suspected that we Procrastinators were perfectionists and over achievers who tried to get too much done in too little time and then backed off in fear and trembling.
And as if that wasn't enough confirmation, here's the reading from the Fourth Sunday after Pentecost:2 Corinthians 8:11 Now finish the work, so that your eager willingness to do it may be matched by your completion of it, according to your means. 12 For if the willingness is there, the gift is acceptable according to what one has, not according to what one does not have.

The willingness is there.
