Packing Procrastination

I always allow about 10 or so minutes of procrastination into most of the tasks I need to accomplish in a day...but packing for a trip has always presented a dilemma far above and beyond this procrastinating plan of mine. 

In the first place, I always pack way too early for trips I go on [and like most of my gender, way too much-forgive my stereotyping] and then the night before I leave I go into a major flap because I cannot for the life of me remember what I packed and into which of the many containers I packed it in. 

So this time I made a list in my trip diary- what I packed and where I packed it...thinking to fool my sometimes scattered Gemini mind. The resulting effect is that this pile of things- which may or may not be related to what I actually want or need to take in my suitcase, has been sitting on the floor of my bedroom for a couple of weeks. It does grow a little each day, but basically has not moved into the suitcase or backpack or handbag which I plan to bring along. [I have noticed that nature of the items I pack each year changes. This year there seems to be a lot of digital devices, and the amount and different types of tablets that form a major part of my physical maintenance portfolio has alarmingly increased].

So my task over the next couple of days is to get these items into their respective containers..thank goodness I have a few more days to procrastinate. 

Now which episode of Breaking Bad was I on??

It's Only the beginning!
