Default Am I the only one w/ this problem?

Making a quick phone call to set up an appointment or looking up an address to write on an envelope isn't that hard and yet these are the things that I get most hung up on. I mean, it's only like it takes a second and once it's taken care of it's done. I don't even have to think about it again, and yet, I seem to have the hardest time making it happen.

Anyone else have this problem or is it just me? How do you get yourself to do the things you're avoiding?

lol... no, you're not the only one with this problem.

For me, it's usually when I'm clearing off my desk and I don't want all the little details hanging around...that's when it gets done. I called the orthodontist today while helping my son with a spelling game...it was something I could do at the same time. I do a lot of "little things" while I'm on the phone with someone else (no offense intended).

I always have trouble getting phone calls made. I hate making phone calls, so I advoid them at all costs. That is why I do everything I can through emails, facebook, etc. It is so much more convient for everyone concerned. Now if the doctors' offices would just make appointments online, I would be all set.

How funny, I have this same problem. I pay all of my bills online now and I still procrastinate in doing this. I don't know how I ever paid my bills on time when I actually had to put a stamp and mail them.

I think I procrastinate with appointments because they are usually in Salt Lake and I just dread the drive.

Good question 5D, I am going to have to do some inner thinking on this and figure out why I procrastinate on doing the little simple things. Hmmmm.......
