Queen of procrastination


Being the queen of procrastination I have always had a difficult time sticking to new years resolutions and achieving my goals.


After some success last year...by achieving one of my long time ambitions - writing a novel - I decided if I can do that I should be able to achieve other goals as well.


Part of my novelling success was, in part, due to my broadcasting of what I was trying to achieve to as many people as possible. This was at the advice of Chris Baty who wrote 'No Plot, No Problem' and who is the creator of NaNoWriMo (National Novel writing Month). Being accountable for what I was setting out to achieve seemed to help me focus and carry on, even when the going got tough.


So I have decided to set up this blog to make myself accountable for my other goals in the hope and belief that I will achieve what I want to this year.
So that is why this blog is here. It will either become a tool of procrastination for avoiding other tasks or will become something I procrastinate about!
And yes, you could say I have procrastinated already this year as I am only just publishing my goals but I like to think I have been mulling them over to make them more meaningful and achievable ;-)
