Super Kat

Like so many other expert level procrastinators, and the general populous of useless people who never achieve their goals, I like to start things on a Monday. I never start a new goal or lifestyle or diet on any other day of the week. These things have to start on days which are easy to measure, days which are perfect and days which result in an extra week of laziness if a silly mistake (usually the product of my subconscious) happens to ruin the day.

So, because today is Monday and because term has now started, and the stress of having a birthday party is behind me today was supposed to mark the day of the new super Kat version 6billion and three. But it is only lunch time and I have already decided that today is not the day for me to launch the new super Kat because I am slightly sick, or because I am too busy this week, or because it is too hot today.

Yes, the expert of excuses is back and I have come up with every possible reason to not go to gym this afternoon. I have also come up with a billion different reasons for why I shouldn’t go to the library and get some work done. I haven’t done the dishes, but don’t worry because I have an excuse for that too.

And this is the problem with new goals. In my mind if I fail day one of the goal, the goal is completely abolished when actually what I should be thinking is if I don’t do it today, then I have to do it tomorrow along with all the other things I had planned for tomorrow. So dishes that aren’t washed today make a bigger pile for tomorrow. Homework that isn’t done today will be added to tomorrow’s stresses and work. And ultimately this is going to result in a fat Kat who lives in a messy flat and is once again cramming an entire semester’s worth of work into her head a week (the night before) before the exam.

So, because today is Super Kat day I will be doing twice as much work today so that I can spend twice as long at gym tomorrow when I am feeling like a human being again and in the meantime I am going to get off of this stupid blog and go wash the dishes bearing in mind that when I eventually get round to my new diet that I will be using fewer dishes.
