#3 Ticking Time Bomb ...

Evaluate your time. How do you spend your day? What things do you do, from the time you wake up to the time you go to sleep? Make a list, and evaluate whether they’re in line with your priorities. If not, eliminate the things that aren’t, and focus on what’s important. Redesign your day.

Ugh.
Pass?
I really don't want to do this one.
OK, fine.  But I'm just going to rationalize my time wasting and procrastination, so blah.

I'm pretty perceptive and aware of my time wasting issues.  Or, not so much "wasting" but doing the wrong things at the wrong time.  Prioritizing and sticking with it I guess.  Committing to my priorities.  (ah ha - notice that connection?  Sneaky Mr. Babauta.)

Typically, I put the fun, yet eventually necessary, things first.  Waiting until the last minute (aka late nights) to do the immediately necessary.  

There really is not much soul searching to do here - I am well aware of this needed change.  

My boredom and lack of challenge and fulfillment, leads me to create fleeting to-dos in order to temporarally fill the void.  And yet (epiphany), if I were to actually do the necessary things first, I would have larger chunks of time to do the things I really want to do.  

Example: Spending hours online mapping out a possible honeymoon itinerary, (which won't actually occur until next August, and hasn't been decided on for sure) leads to hours of real work (that will need to be done) piling up, requiring me to pull an all-nighter, which consequently results in a lack of sleep and grouchiness, making my potentially enjoyable and/or romantic weekend a wash because I'm taking out my stress and tiredness on my fiance and sleeping the free days away.  


Wow.  That's pretty lame.  Time for a new plan.  Starting - now.
