As October approaches and the frantic summer season calms down, I begin to start tidying up a bit. I've spent the mor nng cutting down the old fruited rasperry canes, and weeding the fruit cage. I noticed some raspberries growing up in the area of the blackcurrant, too near the net edges, even outside the cage. I told myself, that's a job for later, to dig up the errant canes and plant in the gaps. The excuses for not doing then were myriad, but were probably only procrastination. I also remembered I told myself the same thing last year, and probably the year before that.
My list of jobs that should be done, but somehow never get done could be endless, but here's a start. You never know it might spur me to get up off my..... and actually do some of them.
Tidy the upper shelves of the garden shed.
Throw away pots that haven't been used for several years. - this also applies to wardrobe and clothes 
Scrub labels
Move perennials to a more suitable position in the flower bed.
Prune out dead bits from the apple trees before they bud next season.
Replace dying privet in hedge with cutting I took 2 years ago.
What jobs do you never get done?
