accountability

i remember being 5 or 6 and my mom was yelling at me to go clean my room. so i did. and it only took maybe 20 minutes. so why haven't i done that since then? i'm looking at what i have been doing for the past few months and seeing anything i need to take care of gets put on hold as long as humanly possible. it would probably take a lot less energy in the long run if i just took care of it. bills, cleaning, laundry, schoolwork... it would be so much easier if i just did it.

so why can't i find the motivation to do it?

maybe i'm just not very good at setting and achieving goals. the setting part is probably the main problem. maybe if i set time limits on everything i could actually get more done... maybe i'll try that this week and see how it goes. i do have a deadline to get everything done now. my aunt is coming down toward the end of the month and i really don't want her to see my apartment as is. why do i procrastinate so much?!?
