Question

Why is it so much easier to clean someone else's room instead of your own. I used to clean my ex's apartment and actually like it. I got a weird sick enjoyment from tidying up and playing homemaker. However, when it comes to my own room - I like nice and neat don't get me wrong...but the actual process of picking piles of clothes from the floor fills me with dread.
Same goes with things I must do for myself - like make doctors appointments or run the extra errand at the store - for other people it's not a problem, when it comes to my own needs I procrastinate for months!
Jeebus, I need to take care of this bizarre behavior pronto. I read somewhere that the reason most people don't succeed is because instead of doing the most important thing on their "checklist" the end of doing all the non-important minutiae and only get to the important "thing" last, or when they are tired, or when it's completely past the due date. The author claimed that if we just did that one important thing and the little stuff later most of us would be much more successful people. Something to procrastinate ponder about.
