Description

Oh, it's so easy to put off work. It's the end of summer, right? Do you have a to-do list that's become a to-don't list? Is your partner is nagging you about it? We all tend to dig in our heels and resist being nagged, whether it's a chore or something "for your own good." Both parties get resentful; nagging can drag down a relationship.

Another word about nagging: we like to feel our partners like us as we are, and no one likes to be a "home improvement" project. You need to decide together what each of you wants to do for yourselves or in sharing responsibilities.

It could also be that what you're putting off may be something you want to do (like write a blog) but you just can't get it done. You check your email, go to the drugstore, even weed the garden before you get around to remembering - oops, it's too late. Then you chastise yourself about being lazy or disorganized.

Let's say you decide to "just do it." Here's things you can do for getting to those tasks you're avoiding. OK, they're not instant, but at least helpful.
