I Don't Want To

` Today I woke up with a serious case of the "I don't want to's". Why is it such a struggle to do such menial things? There are two loads of laundry that need to be folded and put away. It will take me fifteen minutes, but "I don't want to." There are dishes in the sink that will take five minutes, but really "I don't want to." There are drinks in the cooler outside from the weekend that need to be brought in but, "I don't want to." My bedding needs to be washed (and I love the smell and feeling of clean sheets), but "I don't want to." I want to know how come when I work at a job if I see something that needs to be done I just do it. Whether it is part of my job or not. Without debate or an internal argument, I just do it, but when it comes to MY home it is a struggle. So what to do... what to do...
` I will share my crazy way to over come my "I don't want to's." I find a movie or TV show I want to watch. One with commercials and force myself to accomplish as much as I can during the breaks. Silly I know, but lets see what gets done.
Commercial one- Dishes washed
Commercial two- laundry started
Commercial three- cooler emptied (okay 1/2 the cooler)
Commercial four- took recyclables out
Commercial five- finish cooler, put away dishes, emptied hamper in bathroom
Commercial six- Laundry switched
Commercial seven- finished putting away groceries from a couple days ago
Commercial eight- five minute pick up in bedroom
Commercial nine- run clean linens upstairs to the closet
Commercial ten- clean off clothes pile in bedroom
Commercial ten- friend stopped down for coffee so that was the end of the movie. However I think I am just going to have to force myself to watch more TV. I know, I know it will be hard, but I have to do what I have to do.
