7 things you're always putting off

Are you putting something off right now to read this article?

DO YOU PUT the “pro” in “procrastination”? Are you guilty of getting creative with your time management? Do you hold naps in high regard?

Sure, why not? Tomorrow is always only a day away. Whatever it is, it can wait.

1. Going to the gym

Joining and hearing about all the nice facilities and services on offer is the easy part. Getting off the couch in the lashing rain to go and punish yourself just doesn’t have the same appeal.

Lifting your cup of tea at home definitely counts as some form of exercise.

2. Visiting your relatives

It’s your only weekend free. Surely nobody would like you to spend hours in the car just to eat their biscuits and make small talk all day?

A good relative would never expect this from you. It’s not even Christmas.

3. Doing the dishes and bringing out the bins

Why do we do this to ourselves? The stress of washing dishes that have food cemented into them is almost unbearable.

And the bins… WHY do we not have garbage chutes in Ireland?

4. Going to bed at night

There’s always another episode. Or series.

It’s 3am. Go to bed now.

5. Getting up in the morning

Who invented the snooze button anyway? An evil genius, that’s who.

It’s a cruel, cruel world.

6. Getting petrol

Ah yeah, that light is always flashing. It’s probably on the blink, you only got petrol a few days ago.

Oh no.

7. Cutting the grass

You know it could do with a cut and it’s a nice day outside but there’s always a chance that it could rain in a while. This is Ireland after all.

Oh, it didn’t rain? But it’s dark now so you’d only look like a lunatic if you went cutting the grass now. You’ll do it tomorrow.
