Subject:loose shoelace

Well, you know what I mean.  We all have a "loose shoelace", that thing we
really really mean to do, that fairly easy thing to do, not critical but
just annoying.  And yet, it remains undone, just a little annoying and
ready to trip us up.
I was reminded of this phenomena by a recent post about purchasing
something years ago and never getting around to do it.
Now I belong to a wood carving group, and every once in a while we declare
a just "finish it" week, where we bring in our projects and complete them.
I know we can't all get together easily, but what if we were to promise the
list to finish just one minor pesky job?
So I was thinking the weekend of the 26th, which would give us a week to
Procrastinate and Prepare, before Performing the small job.
My job is the door holder/basket.  I have a new one to replace the old
broken one.  I've had it for several years now, I even know where it is!
Safely on the shelf, right there.
I promise the list to have this job completed the weekend of May 26.  There
I did it, I am somewhat committed.
How about you?  Any takers??  We all need support, we're not alone out
there.
ed- 91DoKa with a compulsion to complete something, anything, before the
end of next weekend.
