All this to say I cleaned my pantry
Last week I learned from my friend Diane that Wednesday is anti-procrastination day at FlyLady. Now FlyLady is not a site that I’ve frequented in the past; although, I have visited several times in the last few years with good intentions. But I digress; today is anti-procrastination day, so I thought I would not put off (again) until tomorrow what could be done today. I think you could all guess that I have not accomplished all of the things that I’ve been putting off (that would take more than one Wednesday and probably many of the days in between those Wednesdays), but I did make a start on the pre-Boo to-do list.
Today started with getting up a bit early to get a shower, dressed, etc before Little woke up. This is something that I’m finding makes the day flow a bit more smoothly; especially if we have somewhere to be (which we usually do). After eating breakfast and getting Little ready for the day we had about 20 minutes before we needed to leave for Bible Study Fellowship. But, because we’re not procrastinating today, we left early and stopped by Kroger to pick up the items that I didn’t get at the store on Monday. BSF ends around 11:15 and we headed straight to Target to pick up a few things, like laundry detergent, that weren’t urgent but would be soon. While Little ate lunch I mixed and kneaded this week’s batch of bread (we also sang and talked about the birds in the backyard while she ate her applesauce).
And then during the first rise on the bread I conquered the task that gets marked off the to-do list: cleaned and organized the pantry. I still have some work to do in there, such as getting spice racks to go on the back of the door (so that I can actually find my spices when I need them instead of digging through the entire shelf only to find that I’m out of something), but the biggest part of the work is completed.
Now the bread is finishing it’s second rise, I’m finishing up this blog post, Little is still napping, and I think I’ll rest a bit. It feels good to have one thing off my list. Happy anti-procrastination day!

Wow! You did great! I procrastinate a lot! I didn’t use to, but now that I am a Mom…. there is always SOMETHING to do! Love ya! Got your sweet note today! I appreciate it!
Yeah!! It is a great feeling to do what we have been putting off. Procrastination fills my mind with clutter. While one Wednesday will never clear all the things on my to do list, maybe a year of Wednesdays will.
Good for you. Don’t forget to add “put your feet up” to your schedule. Don’t want to anti-procrastinate yourself right into labor!!
jana, way to go on the pantry……i, um, er, should do that too…when i can drag myself away from the computer..more importantly, i love the fact that you actually made bread for your family..i keep saying i’m going to do that..
