The "I promise" thread

[Melissa]

Do you put things off? Feel lazy, somewhat of a slacker? Is there something you need to do that you just can't get to?

Here's the thread for you if you feel you need that extra push.

I cannot break a promise, however it is made. Unless, of course, there is some uncontrollable circumstance. So, this thread is for all of those who need to get things done and can only guarantee getting it done by making a promise.

I'll start.

I promise once I am finished eating my lunch I will clean up the living room and kitchen. I'm not sure how far I want to push myself so I will leave it at that for now. Baby steps, right? :lol:

I promise that tomorrow morning (as in, before noon) I will clean my bathroom.

Is this a binding, legal contract?

 

[Melissa]

Unless you like lying, then yes. :lol:

Hehehe...you're right!! Start off small with truly obtainable goals. Take out still means you have to go pick it up? Totally counts!!!

I never finished taking the tent down... because... EW. About 100-150 earwigs decided to make their home in the flaps of the tent where the poles go through. I tried shaking them out, but they fell out in a clump near my feet and I ran away screaming. *shudder* They give me the creeps!! Out of everything, I have a fear of earwigs. I'm going to take a hose tomorrow and spray them all off. Nasty.
