Procrastinators Anonymous is a fellowship of men and women who share their experience, strength and hope with each other that they may solve their common problem and help others to recover from chronic procrastination.
I wasn't as productive today as I was yesterday and the day before, but I still did pretty well. I was getting lonely from being by myself at home too much. I read the NY Times at a cafe then went to a meeting and felt better.
Dishes are washed, teeth brushed, I'm ready for bed.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Procrastination is the grave in which opportunity is buried.
Spent this morning hanging out with a friend and going to church, now I need to do some work.
Tasks:
*Log food and exercise
*Go over 6 probability lectures
*Email DP, call AG
*Do 3 questions from pset 12
*Fix interactome
*Start new runs and scans
*Finish table of coregs.
*Laundry
Whew! That's a lot to get done. But I'll just take it one step at a time and get done as much as I can. I'm going to start with log, then I'll go over probability
Today's list: 1. Clean BA (30 mins) 2. Unpack/organize BR (30 mins) 3. Wash/dry hair (1.5h)- Peregrine..it takes me a while too! 4. Buy Christmas tree (1h) - Decorated too!!! (Took longer than expected) 5. Dinner w/ friends (~2h) 6. Organize desk(45 mins) only did 20 mins - better than nothing i guess 7. Read (45 mins) only 20 mins
8. Exercise (45 mins)-maybe??? probably wont happen but I put it here anyways....: )- of course this did NOT happen(but I decorated the tree so i'll call that productive procrastination)
Well, i did not do everything I set myself to do but overall it was a very productive Sunday. This CI's really help. I have to say that my usual Sunday will consist of 8-10 hours of TV or internet. All the while worrying about all the stuff that I need to do. So I am very happy with accomplishments today. Thanks for your support. You guys really make a difference.
For Sunday, this is about my earliest opportunity for CI.
Some moving & cleaning projects this morning. Talked with relative, did some driving around. Did errand for self & relative.
During the rest of the day: sort out items from store. I have at least 3 categories of purchases from the same store that need to be separated for their correct uses.
Notes on yesterday's imperfection. I almost could not do my various projects & tasks yesterday, because I knew none of them would be perfect. And right, none of them turned out perfect, and everything took longer than expected, but by 5:30 yesterday I had them done and I felt great & could relax. I am posting this to acknowledge it to myself. Because regularly the concern about imperfection wins & I wait until another day (which usually doesn't matter, but for this weekend it did matter ;) Anyway, this is an example of how this board helps me, because posting yesterday morning helped me get started.
This is my first time trying this. I'm not feeling well today so I'll probably stay in.
[X] Do two loads of laundry (one done, one to go)
[] Tidy up the house (set timer for 15 minutes per room)
[] Cook slow-cooker risotto
[] Address Christmas cards / look up people's addresses
[] Call P and A
[] If I have the energy, call K (at night)
[] Wash hair (I have very thick Afro-textured hair, so this is a PROCESS, lol)
[] Do something Project X-related; doesn't matter what so long as there's movement on the timeline
[] Look online for dollhouse furniture for my niece
I would love to attend the 12-step meeting today -- particularly since I had a bad moment earlier today -- but since I'm so new here I feel like I need to read up some more before I join in.
I'm finished with breakfast and headed to the chatbox - need to get dressed, make the bed, pack up stuff to return (in box I got yesterday), work on Project X. Chickpeas and chicken broth are already simmering on the stove.

Recycler CI 1pm + notes/ imperfection yesterday
Hi!
Super busy yesterday & today.
For Sunday, this is about my earliest opportunity for CI.
Some moving & cleaning projects this morning. Talked with relative, did some driving around. Did errand for self & relative.
During the rest of the day: sort out items from store. I have at least 3 categories of purchases from the same store that need to be separated for their correct uses.
Notes on yesterday's imperfection. I almost could not do my various projects & tasks yesterday, because I knew none of them would be perfect. And right, none of them turned out perfect, and everything took longer than expected, but by 5:30 yesterday I had them done and I felt great & could relax. I am posting this to acknowledge it to myself. Because regularly the concern about imperfection wins & I wait until another day (which usually doesn't matter, but for this weekend it did matter ;) Anyway, this is an example of how this board helps me, because posting yesterday morning helped me get started.
Have a great day, everyone! :)
