Day Eighty: Go Getter


I am a go getter, get it the hell done, do it now before it’s due kind of girl.
I am also a procrastinator when I’m only doing things for myself. But when I have to get stuff done for other people, I am on top of it.
Today my owner told me I needed to bake sixty brownies and seventy cookies for a catering event tomorrow. 

Our shop as a teeny tiny oven that only lets me back about twelve cookies at a time and I have to pull the cookies out, flip them and turn the trays before I can finish them. Aside from that I also have to get every cookie cool enough that I can put them in plastic bags, label and sort them. On top of that, I also had the ice cream order today, which means I had almost thirty fifteen pound blocks of ice cream melting in the back while I was working on cookies.
I got everything baked, wrapped and put away in a little over an hour.
An hour.
You might be wondering why this makes me a go getter. I worked for just shy of seven hours today, which meant I had more than six hours to get all this crap done. And I forced myself to finish it in an hour. Why? Because I didn’t know if we would get busy later and I would be too busy to make cookies so I knew better than to leave it.


When I say I’m going to get shit done, I get it done.
Yeah, think about that.

Challenge to my Readers:
Skip the procrastination and do the shit you need to get done. Do it! Do it now!
