You are correct, as it's 11:53 and I've still not started. However...

I feel like I've publicly shamed myself into doing it NOW. So I shall click "Submit Reply" on this post, close this browser tab, ignore my son and do it. I shall report back in due course.

(Don't hold your breath - just in case...)

I usually put off my procrastination until later.

That's the one I have been putting off. Don't know why tho.

I have a list of jobs, at the top is the Year End Books

I have just completed them, so took 6 months of thinking about it

Done.

OK, so it took me longer than an hour, but...

- This opened a whole can of worms. Because this is one of my least favourite tasks, my admin relating to what had been invoiced, what had been invoiced and paid and what was still to be invoiced was in a mess, and I had to unpick it all.

- I had to make lunch for junior.

But, now it's done. I feel very satisfied. I might take the rest of the day off to recover.

Can I just say thank you ! I literally just ate the frog I had been saving in the fridge and putting off till past it’s use by date .it was Just a phone call I needed to make ,a small thing but since it involved a tradesman (my phobia) I’d left it sat there going off.but it’s now been devoured let’s hope I don’t get indigestion 😀

I am very good about not putting things off except invoicing and VAT !

But it's for a particular group of companies that all have weird and wonderful individual invoicing requirements that just drive me mad. I'll almost certainly get at least one wrong as a result.

My accountant does the tax return. Which is a good job as I'd probably be in prison by now for not doing it.

That's actually a well-known phrase from Peter F Drucker!

I've thought about VAs quite a lot. I probably can't justify one now, despite what it looks like!
