Procraftination Problems

In case you’re thinking I made a typo in the title, I didn’t! Procraftination is a term invented by crafters that basically means you’re working on crafts when you should probably be doing other things. As a maker, I am a proud procraftinator! Here lately, it seems that those “other things” are interrupting my procraftinating time which is why I have a problem. I need more procraftination time!

The Art of Procraftination

This is something that well seasoned crafters have perfected! What it really comes down to is weighing your options. Can those dishes wait one more hour {or day, no judging here!}? Will making a dent in the laundry mountain be more fun than making that new thing I saw on Pinterest? Most of the time, I’m okay with throwing a load into the washer or dryer because I can just get back to the making. It’s the folding & hanging that gets behind in my house.

Basically, if you have a passion for crafting, procraftination will win! Don’t worry all you newbie crafters, you’ll get the hang of it eventually. : D

Procraftination Problems

Now, back to the original purpose of this post! The balance of my crafting to “other stuff” ratio has tilted & I need to correct it. Y’all may look at my posts & think that I have plenty of crafting time, but it doesn’t feel that way to me. Let me explain!

There are so many things I want to make that I could spend the whole day doing just that & I wouldn’t have a problem with it. But – I have a part time teaching job that has me traveling between two cities, I maintain & edit all the things for this blog, now I’ve started a YouTube channel, I also take on commission orders, I really want to start a Craftsy site and/or an Etsy shop, & then I still have all the everyday stuff that most people have to do. Whew, now I’m just tired talking about it!

After saying all that, I also have a bad habit of sitting in front of the computer & getting lost in videos, social media, & virtual window shopping. This leads me down a rabbit hole of adding more things I want to do to my list. Then I have to rush to get all the other stuff done. I really have no one to blame but myself for my procrastinated procraftination! ; D

All that being said, I need a plan of action! A plan to incorporate all the “have to do’s” in with the “want to do’s” so I can enjoy more procraftination time. Sort of a planned procraftination! Now, that might be in direct contrast to the very definition, but at least I will be getting in more crafting time {hopefully}.

Okay y’all, I think I know what I have to do now & I’m sorry if this rambled on & made no sense whatsoever, but I needed to get it out of my brain! I hope y’all have a wonderful weekend & don’t forget to procraftinate! : D

P.S. Look out for my “Saturday Stuff” video, well, on Saturday & my monthly roundup podcast on Monday. This is all over on my YouTube channel.
