I finally finished doing something that I've been procrastinating over for a month, and it only took two hours once I actually started.

And now it's finished. It feels so good, I think I deserve a beer.

Well done. I did a job that has been mildly annoying me almost every day for at least five years, but never getting annoyed enough to deal with it until yesterday. It took me 15 minutes. I am now annoyed that it took me so long, but I will get over it very quickly.

Don’t bother with the beer, you’ll get another job done without that poison inside you!

Following on from this incredible content, I got the kitchen splashback resealed in about 30 mins and made really quite decent job of it.

I tried fixing my tumble dryer on Friday by taking it apart, poking it, staring at it and putting it back together. Incredibly, that didn't work so I called an appliance engineer, left an answerphone message for him to call back and visit this week.
This morning I took a different bit of the tumble dryer apart and, poked it, stared at it and found x2 metal toggles that should be attached to clothing and not embedded between the drum and bearings. 

Now I feel epic (and I only had two screws left over after putting the machine back together).

I read a post from an author this week.  "If you've got a lot of little domestic tasks around the house that have needed doing for ages, just set a whole day aside for writing.  By the end of the day they'll all be done"

Exactly. Best advice I ever got was, "Procrastinate by doing useful things."
