Hello 2026!! An IWSG Post
It's a shiny new year; no need to complain about missed goals already, right?
I'll save that for next month.
This is the year I will finish that book that has been whipping my hind end, though my posting this month's IWSG so late is not a harbinger of better writer behavior to come in 2026. That's the crux of the insecurity: I must get out of my own way and hit some goals.
Procrastination!!! Why do you curse me????
Have a tip on avoiding avoidance? Drop it in the comments. PLEASE!
January 7 question - Is there anything in your writing plans for 2026 that you are going to do that you couldn’t get done in 2025?

I am going to publish something, even if it's a pamphlet on how to avoid procrastination curated from all of ya'll's amazing comments.

Oh, I like your plan for 2026. I should do the same.
ReplyDeleteThat made me laugh! My tip - hard to procrastinate when you don't plan on doing anything.
ReplyDeleteI procrastinate about all kinds of things now that I'm older. I wasn't a procrastinator when I was younger and had kids and stuff absolutely had to get done or the children would suffer, so I guess my tip is reverse your age to about 25 - 35 and have a couple of children –– maybe a toddler and one a bit older –– and you won't have time to procrastinate.
ReplyDeleteLove,

I agree with Janie - you've got a couple of little ones you could 'borrow.'
ReplyDeleteYou've got great goals. Your idea of a pamphlet made me smile.
ReplyDeleteMaybe try to get stuff done in short chunks of time while procrastination is busy looking the other way? :)
ReplyDeleteGood luck on that goal!
I have daily to-do lists and I will get to everything no matter what. If something major happens, I am okay with pushing something to the next day, but I won't push it again. I just hate having things hang over my head. Drives me nuts.
ReplyDeleteYou are so funny (and I'd buy your pamphlet) LOL
ReplyDeleteYeah. Don't make plans. Then there's no need to procrastinate. LOL! I use checklists myself. It's satisfying to check things off the list.
