Outwitting the Devilish Mr. P

avatar

Beautiful life, Silvery souls and everyone :)

The husband went out on some errands after getting his "new" phone set up. It's quite amusing because we seem to have become our siblings' babies, lol! Sometime ago, my elder sister gave me her still new smartphone plus a tablet. This time, the husband got a "hand-me-down" phone from her sister. Yep, we are fortunate hehe and we're grateful of course.

Anyway, gardening was originally planned for today. Unfortunately, it's drizzly and so gusty so I'm now cooped up indoors. My weak bones just couldn't bear the cold outside. And while thinking about what to do besides keeping tabs of my commitment here in Hive, I got reminded of the devilish persona which I've been trying to outwit for a while. Do you happen to know Mr. P? You are awesome if you don't know him.

Procrastination (aka Mr. P)

Mr. P will always be happy when we make him our friend and I was kind of guilty letting him in here at home the past few days. At some point, he befriended me so well that he kept me away from completing my to-do's on some days. I'm just happy that I won against him yesterday and so laundry was finally done.

It's just funny how little excuses can make Mr. P grow. When we give in to his invitations, we are letting him win. We are feeding him, making him grow and before we know it, he'd grown a giant and it becomes harder for us to shake him off unless we become so intentional about winning our productive selves back.

This made me wonder, do you ever struggle to keep him off from your life or there's no sign of him at all in your home?

Thank you and it would be awesome to read your thoughts :)

The only time I struggle with Mr. P is when I am going to do a very boring task which I will rather not do but I just have to because it's compulsory (like writing a report in school 😆). I have no problem doing other things which are fun to me and I can easily turn them into a routine, it just takes discipline to be able to do them daily without worrying about Mr. P 😉

That's great Kushy. At least you would not give in to Mr. P easily hehe. Sometimes the weather makes me say 'Yes' to him, lol!

This Mr. P is a very sloppy fella to outwit. I've closed my doors but he keeps whispering by the window, trying to get inside the home. We haven't been friends for awhile but he's still clinging to that window.

Yes, somehow it is good. More sleep for me is always good with my insomnia. I take what I can get. 😎
The technician couldn’t fix the aircon yesterday… now waiting until the landlord decides to replace it… pppffff 🥵🥵🥵

Thank you so much, drinking my morning cappuccino now ☕️😁😎
Enjoy your day further! Hope the weather isn’t to bad.

That's good to hear, additional hours or minutes of snooze time is nice. And darn that aircon, the landlord has no other option so hope he'll have it replaced soon.

Enjoy your cappuccino☕ I almost smell it in my imagination, lol!

Thank you, it's a lot warmer today which I like a lot.
