These are the things which are left in the corner of my mind like laundry mildewing in the wash. I feel significantly better today than I have after having spent a significant amount of time resting and whittling away at the apartment. Most of what is left to be done seems to be major projects/habits, but some of it is still organization. Here are the biggies:
Mari Kon:
Clothing Purge
Chackies Purge
Paper Purge
Kitchen stuffs Purge
electronics purge: old phones and peripherals, broken laptops, etc.
Office Supplies purge
Toxic Relationships purge
Daily Reflections focus
Yoga focus
Daily routine focus
financial accountability focus
nutrition focus
friendships focus
12 Steps/program focus
mending and repairing focus

I am sure there are more but that is what comes to mind right now. And that is okay!

Success is not final, failure is not fatal

Make a decision.

- Pro/Con list. 

Update 12/26:  This wasn't done because I realized that it wasn't as simple as it sounds.  Therefore, it was an impossible goal. What I did do this morning is journal about the surface fears that are standing between me and the list.  That's a start.  I spent 24 minutes on that.   I will think on it throughout the day while I'm doing my to do list. 

Update 12/27:  I did think about it while at the mall. Understanding one's motivations and what one cannot live with.   No decision yet.

I have a very old car that is falling apart and becoming dangerous.
It would be life-threatening to avoid dealing with this.
I will use this post as a "special project" log for the following types of tasks:
* Researching car repairs costs.
* Researching purchasing a used car.
* Researching car insurance costs.
* Researching public transportation feasibility.
* Etc., etc., etc.

--------------------------------------------------

PROJECT: research costs of car repairs
-- ✓ checked LSw
-- ✓ check Ke.A.
-- _ need quote from Ke.A.
-- ✓ Got Quote from Niss
-- ✓ Followup with TW re: leak
-- ✓ Got phone number for K. friend.
-- ✓ Got quote from re-vamped Ev.CC charity garage.
-- _ call K.Friend.

--------------------------------------------------

Project: Research purchasing decent used car at low price
--
--
--
-------------------------------------------------

Project: Research costs of various auto insurance plans.
-- ✓ Got quote from most reputable inexpensive company. Still too much. Need to call other companies.
--
--
------------------------------------------------

Project: Apply to PublicTransit for special bus for the disabled.
-- ✓ Asked for help from caseworker "P". She referred me to caseworker "N".
-- ✓ Consulted with Caseworker N. She told me to fill out the form -- the form that I've been procrastinating on. Sigh.
-- To do: Find the form because I've had it so long that I lost it.

-------------------------------------------------

Project: Research how to get rides from various volunteer chore & errand services.
-- ✓ Tried CaC. They said no. Need to reapply.

Update July 2014: Stuck. Praying for willingness to be willing.

Update: August 2014: Overwhelmed with household issues. Need to put automotive tasks on back burner.

Update September 1st 2014: Ready to restart this project. With weather and seasons changing, this is becoming a priority.

-------------------------------------------------

Need to clean off my desk for 15 minutes. Hot coals sound more appealing. 

;

Okay, cleaned off desk for 15 minutes. Yay! 

Hi Findingaway! Good luck with your tasks for today. Come on chat during the afternoon if you'd like (when the chatbox is always empty duirng the aussie afternoon), and we can get some solid work done like last week!

 In the mean time, KBO! 

Cheers,

Thesis 

First I want to give myself one pat on the back, I have ditched playing games at my work desk in work hours. However I still get caught up in extended browsing at times. My main downfalls though are not getting to my desk until late, and taking way too long to come back after lunch. I have not used this site much lately, and yesterday realised that I need to come back as I was slipping into a guilt and procrastination cycle. So glad you are all still here :) Acknowledging once again that I am a procrastinator.

I want to use this post to record how well I'm doing at:

A. Starting reasonably early - my goal here is 8.30 am

B. Lunch break of no more than one hour

C. Other breaks of no more than 15 mins

D. Work through till at least 5 unless there is a good reason to finish earlier

I will still allow myself exercise time and some time for unpaid tasks within those hours if they are genuine need to do items. Hope this will make my goals achievable rather than just setting myself up for something unrealistic.

Today, Wed June 11th - at desk at 8.50 am (that's not 8.30 am, but pretty good compared to when I've been starting lately). Lunch - 25 mins late getting back have to keep working on that! Finish - did keep going till 5 although it was not doing what I'd planned.

Thurs June 12th - new day, new colour. Was at desk 9.00 am, again I got up earlier but dawdled over breakfast, reading news etc. My thought for today is that this really is for me to support myself. Feel I have so much on my plate for the next few months, but if I can show myself that I've made a reasonable effort to use time well, then I won't feel so bad if there are things I haven't yet done. Maybe I could even feel I deserve a good break/holiday at some stage! instead of trying to 'steal' time here and there.

Came back 15 mins late from lunch, otherwise worked well.

Friday June 13th -  started 9 am, 1.5 hours for lunch, but it was a social time with friend, made up a little by working till 5.20 pm.

I did not do paid work on the weekend, but did run computer scans and back up that supports my work.

I dodged a bullet this year but next year is my final year of study and I want to avoid the trauma of ... unpreparedness, muddled thinking, and a confusing lack of self-confidence mixed with grandiosity!!! (As in, 'of course I'm able to do it: I'm fabulous really!!') 

So, do what I need to do, when I need to do it, and as early as possible. I have a tendency to fritter away valuable time in the mornings. 

Tomorrow I will get up early.

The night before I will say what time I intend getting up at in my check-in. New healthy habits. Commit myself to this. One small change at a time will get me to where I want to be.
