my unprocrastination project

I am such a fan of zen habits.  There is a September unprocrastination challenge on it at the moment.  check it out here.  Or I will summarise.  Or maybe just copy and paste it as he is also into uncopyrighting.

Here’s how it works:

1. Commit publicly (on social media, to your friends, family and coworkers, however you want) to doing this every day for the rest of this month.
2. Each day, spend just 5 minutes doing an Unprocrastination Session (see next step).
3. Pick an important task to focus on, clear away all distractions, set a timer for 5 minutes, and do nothing but that task.
4. You cannot switch tasks during this session. You cannot check on something real quick. You cannot get up to clean something. You can only sit there, with that one task, and either focus on the task or sit there and do nothing.
5. When you get the urge to switch tasks, don’t switch. Just stay with the urge. Watch it, let it surge, then let it fade. Return to your task.
6. When the timer goes off, success! You can keep going if you want, or take a break and go again, but neither is necessary. Just 5 minutes a day is all that’s required for success.
7. Yes, even do your 5-minute sessions on the weekend. Pick a personal project to focus on during those days if you like.

I mentioned my fitbit and how it has made me go out for a few more walks than i might otherwise.  I went for a lovely long stroll this evening.  Its great for thinking.

So what i thought was, that I really really want to get going on my loft conversion.  I have been umming and faffing for about a year now.  And this is what I am going to unprocrastinate on.

I need to get a surveyor over and get that bit sorted and then get some builders quotes on it.

The plan is that once the loft room is done that we will airbnb it for every other weekend.  I like the idea of making our assets (the house) earn for us.  And get that whole thing going.

Ideally and eventually I will create a nice big space out the back that will have my BIG TABLE in it.  I dream of a big table.  Its my dream to have this bigger space to be in.

I am getting my head around what exactly I want in this house.  We may not stay here, or we may.  But I am visioning how I want it to be.  And the steps involved in getting it there.

So, that will be my unprocrastination challenge.  What will yours be?
