Procrastination Challenge: Wednesday

Dsc02254First things first...yesterday's Procrastination Challenge winner was...

LURA!!!

Congratulations, Lura! Please e-mail me at mrskwilt@yahoo.com with the title of the e-book you wish to receive. Congratulations on getting those little boy shirts repaired. :o)

Well, today I have already completed my AP Challenge. I deep-cleaned our main bathroom...and BOY, did it need it! Scrubbing the tub never felt so good! LOL I emptied the trash, mopped the floor, put out fresh towels (which was supposed to be done a couple of days ago- sorry, Mr. Wilt!) and straightened our bathroom closet.

So, start thinking about what you want to accomplish today. It could be something small, or something bigger, but don't put it off! If you blog it, just leave a Mr. Linky and let me know! If you do NOT have a blog and wish to participate, just leave a comment below. I will be choosing a name randomly tomorrow morning. :o)

Good luck with your own AP Challenge today! I'm cheering you on!

Thank you Mrs. Wilt for starting this. So good to have these things done. I am already thinking about tomorrow. :)

That's a beautiful bathroom you got there.

Mrs.Wilt, My Anti-Procrastination Challenge for Today is up on my blog.

Your bathroom is all nice and sparkly, Mrs. Wilt! You did a great job!

My mission may seem simple but if you saw our dining room table with all the mail you would understand why I have procrastinated for so long!! LOL I should blog a "before" picture.

I read about this yesterday and procrastinated about joining in. Today I am hopping on board. Thanks for the challenge, it is just what I needed during my non-mobile state.

I don't have a blog but read this daily :)
thanks for all of your inspiration, I have 4 children that I homeschool in elem. so there you go.... I have cleaned dh & my bedroom -you know that you have too many clothes when you can go weeks without hanging any up yet still take from the rack oops! so I put all clean laundry away, hung up, discarded-give away & trash, took out the scrapbooking box to deal with later, put shoes away correctly, put suitcase away from Cmas traveling, cleared off the cedar chest and took out the trash - whew! dh said I haven't seen this chair for well, how long?
thanks for helping me get my rear in gear-can I say that? Lisa

What a beautiful bathroom. Is that bead-board on the walls? I love the colors you have used. Well done.

Wow!! Your Bathroom looks so nice and clean--what a great motivation post. In my bathrooms, I like to keep a vase or a basket of potpourri, it keeps it smelling so nice:) I love all the pictures on your blog <---How many times have I said that?..LOL;)

Julieann:)

Such a pretty bathroom!

This is just what I needed to read to motivate me today!

Your bathroom is lovelt, by the way...

I LOVE YOUR BATHROOM!

As I stated yesterday, my challenge for today is my dining room. I'm already underway and it looks so much nicer. I don't have a blog, but this is just the kick in the pants I need to get busy!!!

Your bathroom is just lovely, btw. Beautiful. :)

I love this idea. Thanks for having this 'challenge'.

I have been thinking of rearranging my tupperware storage goods. I decided to take them all out of the cabinet, look at what I have, then relabel them, as somethings I had no idea as to what was in the containers, and then put things in the empty ones that had been in other containers throughout my kitchen. I finished them, and they look so much nicer now. I also put them on top of a storage cabinet, it lets me see all of my items, plus nothing is hdden in the deep darkness of the inside of the cabinet. Then gives me free space for other things I need to re-arrange---sounds like that vortex, I'm getting sucked into after finishing one thing, another needs my attention.

I'm in!
WHen deciding whether or not to participate, I said to myself, "maybe I'll enter tomorrow"- there I go Procrastinating again! ;P

I added my challenge! I tackled the top of my computer desk. Thanks for the motivation!

And can I just say--you have a beautiful bathroom!

My procrastination completion job today is the master bathroom ... so when my dear Knight returns from his business trip he'll be blessed with a sparkling 'necessary room'.

I am in for this challenge. Great motivation!
Today I made a business call I have been putting off.

I also cleaned up around the computer and emptied a junk box. We got a new one hooked up this weekend and I had put lots of "junk" in a box to deal with later!

I also went to the store first thing and picked up a few items we needed.

My hall closet is finally clean and organized--coats have been organized, as well as hats, scarves, etc. Got rid of some curtains that wouldn't fit the windows I bought them for. Even got my little ones to help in this today! :)

I am getting more accomplished than I thought I would. Great idea Mrs. Wilt!

I finished-but blogger is down so i cant post "after" pics. Thanks for this challenge Mrs. Wilt, it's really motivated me!!

Just had to add one more thing--I had a stack of papers for over a year waiting to be shredded. Finally got my shredder (a gift from the IL's) and got to shredding today. Could only do half the stack in order to give the poor thing a break, but I'll finish the rest later today.

Thanks again for this challenge Mrs. Wilt this has been fun and helpful! Today I cleaned out my silverware drawer and the other kitchen utensil drawers. They have been needing it for so long. I feel like I'm finally getting used to life with a little girl running around at my feet! I really like the colors in your bathroom! So pretty! Thanks!

Thanks, Mrs. Wilt, for the challenge!

The challenge for me was kinda hard to choose :) I decided to do my desk because it is really where everything happens and the state my desk is in really reflects how everything else goes. So I cleaned my desk and while doing so I found some Thank You cards that should have been sent out a few months ago :0 Well, better late than never I guess :) I am really hoping that this will not happen again with my desk being neater and more organized.
Blessings,
Bethany

Hi,
I LOVE this challenge! I linked to a post on my blog with pictures showing my laundry area...before and after. This is something I've been putting off for awhile, so thanks for lighting the fire!

Hello, I just found your blog and have enjoyed reading through the archives! I don't have a blog, but I took your challenge anyway - I finally hung up my new shower curtain AND I went through all of my files, reorganized them and shredded a ton of old stuff. Now everything is filed in ONE place - yay!!

I don't have a blog - but here is my participation for the day.

I dropped off the goods at the secondhand shop that I was going to donate there - they have been in the boot (you would say "trunk") of the car waiting for me to get around to doing it!

Have also finally got around to making a loaf of No-Knead Wholemeal bread as my DH loves it for his lunch. So he will be happy tomorrow lunchtime :-)

I have also had 1kg of cheese in the fridge waiting for me to grate it all up for freezing. That's my job to do RIGHT now!

Thanks!

Wilma

Mrs. Wilt, your bathroom is so peaceful looking! I love those colors! None of our bathrooms have windows, so I always feel like I'm in a cave! :)

I am going to do this challenge and I hope not to procrastinate on it (LOL)!

I love your bathroom too, Mrs. Wilt! Thanks for doing this challenge--it has been very helpful in motivating me to do some little jobs that I've been putting off for a long time!

I hope I didn't screw things up, but I deleted my first name (#16) because the link was wrong. Now I am #31 and I hope it is all better now. :-) Have a good night, I am off to bed!

Well, it took me all day, but I finally got to my challenge today - the ironing basket. It's done!

Mine is at my newly aqquired blog. Does anyone know how to remove my e-mail from the top of the page on my blog? i couldn't figure it out!

I am a lurker pretty much - but this sounds wonderful and quite motivating to me so I have decided to join in. I love your blog and you inspire me a lot.
God bless,
Cathie

Oh, man! I finished my Challenge and boy am I blessed!! I blogged all about the process and just by looking at it, I can see ways I can be better. Thanks Mrs. Wilt for the motivation to get some of these things done.
