Joy Comes In the Morning Shiny Sink 101 Psalm 118:24 This is the day, which the Lord has made; we will rejoice in it. This is the day, that you can let go of excuses, guilt, fear, and inferiority. Procrastination and perfectionism will have no place in your home. This is the day that your heart can be made glad. Perfectionism, the force that motivates you to have everything exactly right, isn’t about excellence but about fear. There’s nothing wrong with a goal, but when the fear of not meeting that goal overwhelms you, it leads to procrastination. You wake up in the morning tired and angry and feel as though you can’t escape that dark cloud that follows you everywhere. Of course you are overwhelmed. Most days, more is required of you than you could possibly accomplish. Your perfectionism won’t allow you to ask for help. “Your home did not get dirty in a day, and it is not going to get clean overnight.” FlyLady Flylady’s simple Flying lessons will show you how to get your home and your life in order.

There is a plan. Clear out a place under your sink and put a dishpan in space. Teach your family to put dirty glasses and silverware that are used throughout the day in the dishpan. At first, you might feel like you are breaking some ancient rule. It may even feel a little awkward to open a cabinet and toss in a peanut butter knife. The dishwasher is just a big holding place for dirty dishes. You are creating a holding place. When it is time to do the dishes, take lithe dishpan out,set it in the sink and fIll it with hot soapy water. Dry your dishes and put them at as soon as possible. Put the dish rack under the cabinet until exit time. The countertop will stay clear. If your dish drainer. Is nasty beyond Clorox, through it away and buy a new

The essays “Neat People vs Sloppy People” by Suzanne Britt and “Batting Clean-Up and Striking out” by David Berry take a whole new look on the dreaded aspects of cleaning. Britt expresses the different lifestyles of sloppy people to the infamous neat people. While Berry takes gender roles and compares them side by side in order to see the differences between how male/females clean. Both authors illustrate distinct differences and similarities between certain personalities that result in different lifestyles and priorities. Both Britt and Berry express the characteristics that come with these different personalities using humor and exaggeration but, Britt shows bias towards sloppy people while Berry treats both genders with fairness.
The most interesting episode of season three of Breaking Bad was definitely the episode "Fly". The first time watching it, one might be confused. Why would they dedicate an entire episode to a harmless fly? In the episode titled "Fly", the fly symbolizes Walter White's wrong doing and his guilt for what he has done ever since he began cooking meth.
Perfectionism has two aspects. First, you have a tendency to have expectations about yourself, others, and life that are unrealistically high. When anything falls short, you become disappointed and/or critical. Second, you tend to be overconcerned with small flaws and mistakes in yourself or your accomplishments. In focusing on what's wrong, you tend to discount and ignore what's right.
This thought is supported by the multidimensional perfectionism scale. The MPS is a scale that assess the domains of perfectionism and splits it into three groups. The first is self-oriented perfectionism. This... ... middle of paper ... ...
I am not a super messy person, but I don't necessarily keep my room clean all the time, either. Many a time I have opted to put away my clothes, clean out my binder and my backpack, make my lunch for the next day, and/or take a shower before I get to my homework. Doing all these activities takes a while, and I usually end up doing all of them on nights when I have a lot of homework, or if I have a test the next day. Any type of cleaning or household chore would work, though, such as scrubbing the shower, vacuuming, or dusting.
Perfectionism can be defined in a number of different ways. One way is that it is a disposition to regard anything short of perfection as completely unacceptable or the setting of demanding goals, while being unrealistic in nature, are also accompanied by a disposition to regard failure to achieve these goals as completely unacceptable and a sign of personal worthlessness (Merriam-Webster, 2015a). Perfectionism can also be defined as setting of excessively high standards and striving for flawlessness in performance which is accompanied by a tendency to critically overevaluate one’s own behaviour (Frost, Marten et al., 1990; Flett & Hewitt, 2002; Stoeber & Stoeber, 2009).
My past experience of procrastinating caused me to nearly fail a class, due to letting the gratification monkey get a hold of me. Even though, Tim Urban in his article, “Inside The Mind Of A Master Procrastinator,” discusses the entities of procrastination. Unfortunately, procrastination can cause many health problems, physical and emotional. Procrastination can make a person feel a sense of self-reliance. Finally, managing tasks in order of importance allows a person to gain more control over their sleep, health, as well as their outcome of tasks. At the end of the day it is about getting it
During the school day, I always work my hardest to complete all of my homework, and if I end up bringing some home, I prefer to get it done as soon as possible. While working with my grandparents either in the garden or around the farm, I strive to impress them with my hard work and determination to get the job done. Even in my current job, I work hard to complete the given tasks correctly and also efficiently. Perfectionism is obviously incorporated in all of those working environments, and I believe that it pushes me harder and harder each day. As a result of my perfectionism the outcome of my work is usually the best it can be. Although it might limit me, I always give one hundred percent when it comes to completing various tasks, and find pride in being a hard
Pacht (1984) states that perfectionists are the ones who set high standards without any reason, and they try to accomplish their goals. The perfectionists think that in truth only exists extremes but there is no middle ground. For them percentage of success as a rate of 95% or higher is a failure because they have to be 100% perfect. For example if they were given a rate they will focus on the failure rate. Perfectionism can be explained as a desire to gain the high standards of performance. But perfectionists can not fulfill their expectations so they critise themselves (Pacht, 1984). Hamachek in 1978 (as cited in Schwarz, Gairret, Araguete, & Gold, 2005) found that there are two types of perfectionists: Normal and neurotic perfectionists. Normal perfectionists are the ones who can select pleasure in normal degrees from their occupations and they need approval from others just like anyone else. They think that it is a good way to give encouragement. Encouragement is needed to become better. Normal perfectionists are the normal form of perfectionism so they can concentrate on the good ways to gather perfectionism. They have quite normal expectations from themselves. Latter one wants more performance than they can do so they become unsatisfied because they think that they can not do better as anyone else. Neurotic perfectionists are not like normal perfectionist so they are not comfortable with their performance. There were non-pathological perfectionists and pathological perfectionists. Non-pathological perfectionists are the ones who can make big standards and they believe that it is essential for perfection. Pathological perfectionists are the ones who set standards and make decisions and they have a critical concern over mistak...
There are many obstacles that I may encounter that are both internal and external. A huge potential barrier between me and my meaningful and significant life is my internal struggle with time management. Procrastination is something I am very good at.

A list of chores is pinned on the refrigerator for me to complete before my mom gets home from work. I have vacuumed the carpet, cleaned my room, and swept the floor, but my least favorite chore remains: washing the dishes. It would be quick and easy to stick the filthy dishes in the dishwasher; however, the dishwasher is broken. Instead, the mountain of food-covered dishes will have to be scrubbed clean by hand. I will have to prepare the supplies, scrape off the remaining food, rinse and dry the dishes, and put them back into their correct spot in the cupboards and drawers. Washing the dishes is a messy and burdensome process every household must suffer through, unless they want to eat off of paper plates for the rest of their lives.
Being a perfectionist means that you always try to improve your work or yourself. You’re never happy, and you always believe there are better things you can do something better. But that’s why this can also be troublesome. It becomes very hard just to respect yourself and your work when you are a perfectionist. You always need to try and do things better, but many times you don’t even feel a reward.
