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.
Procrastination is the grave in which opportunity is buried.
Finally posting my list - at 3:00!!! ;)
Anxious procrastination
3:15 PM: Have just anxiously procrastinated for 2 hours trying to avoid completing some new job paperwork that 'had to' go out by FedEx by 4 PM today. Just thinking about it gives me butterflies in my stomach. I think it won't happen now, and will get put off until Monday. I have been sitting on this since June, occasionally doing something tiny, then setting it aside. Noinetheless, I WILL get it done today, even if it doesn't get mailed until Monday. I DO NOT want the pressure of having this hang over my head. This is not a good precedent heading into a new job where I want things to be different. Okay, no work, no nothing until this is out. Computer (my main 'decompressor') OFF.
Goal: Finish new job paperwork, pack it in FedEx envelope. WHEN finished, see if there is a later drop off place than 4 PM for today. If not, it goes out Monday.
Back later to report.

Much to do today to catch up on missed items this whole week. So feeling pangs of "all to be done today" with tonight's self imposed deadline
So working through all that. I think I may need a "whole shelf of bookends" today.
Will try and update this and use chatbox. Will check back frequently in there.
If you want a bridge
If you want a bridge meeting to keep you on track...I am around. have kid duty today and am hoping that I don't need to take the boys to the X Games (they went yesterday and I took them since it's close to my office) -- but I'll have my cell phone in any event.
Just remember one thing at a time :)
Happy Sat
Thanks SO much -- just knowing we are all there (HERE) for each other is actually inspiring too. Will try and work through it solo. More..'LA'ter ;-)

Journey on the right day this time lol
Happy weekend! I have a lot to do this weekend, and I don't wanna get started. I did go online and pay my bills for the 1st. and that reminds me, it's time for the gentle reminder. I'll go do that and come back.
OK I'm back and on the right day
pay billsfinish upgrade prepmake grocery listBusy day, work and shopping and don't really have much time for house cleaning, but I'll try to give it a straighten. I cleaned the bathrooms thoroughly last weekend so they'll keep, DD will do laundry and DH will probably vacuum.
