Procrastination is the grave in which opportunity is buried.
pro's CI - 11pm
I took a two-hour nap earlier, so I'll have trouble getting to sleep early. I wish I could have stayed awake, but I was exhausted - I've been getting too little sleep for a while.
Still, I'm going to start my bedtime routine now. One thing's for sure - I won't get to sleep early if I'm not in bed.
pro's CI - 5pm
I went to the grocery store, picked up my mail, and wasted time on some more email with my brother.
I'm so sleepy I can hardly keep my eyes open. I'm thinking about a nap. I went to bed late last, night, and got up early - and have been doing that for a while.
pro's first check-in - 3:10pm (way off schedule!)
Well, let's see... I got up before 8am, which wasn't too bad except that I got to sleep late so I'm tired. I read for a long time this morning, but then did eventually get dressed and make the bed. I'm in headache mode, so I just took some pills but I still have the headache. I need to go to the store and check my mail. I didn't do any work this week (I mean in the form of back accounting, or the tutorial I'm supposed to write). I just researched Buddhism, Taoism, and living in China.
And argued with my brother in email.
And cleared out a very over-flowing Inbox - that was a good thing.
Today is the birthday of an ex who hurt me a lot. I wish I didn't always remember that on this date.

Calm before the storm. Lark's CI 9;05 AM
Good morning. Later today is when the weather is supposed to get bad, so I'm very anxious about getting things done.
1. Do a better meditation this morning, even if I have to come back to it later this morning.
2. Morning routine
3. Do the major step on the big project. The rest can be done a little at a time, between other tasks.
4. Work an hour on project "B".
5. Work an hour on project "C".
6. Take a ten minute house cleaning adventure.
7. Fix my kitchen sink drain.
8. Install the pieces of insulation I cut in the cellar.
9. Put up the cabinet in the cellar.
That's it for now. Let's all send each other positive thoughts!
Still working on #3. Lark's CI at 6:00 PM
My number three has been taking alot of time, but I'd rather focus on it than anything else for today. I've been putting it off too long. I hope I'll get some other things done before bedtime. I went for supplies, and ended up stopping at a friend's for half and hour(I lied, an hour, okay?). If it puts me late, it's okay, as I enjoyed the visit. I haven't been answering my phone today (answering machine has been long broke, and while it was bothersome, I was able to get things done. (If it was important, they'll either call back tomorrow or stop by.)
#3 is crossed off!!!
Not alot of the rest of my list got finished, but I'm finally caught up of the biggie I've been putting off. I feels good, so good that I got peanut butter ripple ice cream.
yay, Lark!!
meditation and rain
I forgot I was going to start meditating every morning. Thanks for the reminder.
It's already raining here (I'm in New York).

I am doing some resistance. I am avoiding doing this translation....
There is not much to translate, but it seems as if I am fed up with it - even before starting!. I remembered to have spent weeks and weeks and days on it. I have very few things to do on it ( 4 steps), but they look like horrible emotionnally. My arm even felt stiff just taking these pieced of papers. I am imagining that it will take ages and ages to get done.... so I browsed looking to the internet.
Going got the interview now ( I have to - good procrastination escuse). It is clear I do not want to do these steps. I associate this work to the days and days of suffering...
Now going for step5 : translate.

Rexroth,
Hope you are going through all of this without suffering too much.
I have a question: I have additional pages to do on this site which took me days and days. And since this morning, I have simply avoided doing it!!! There is not much to do to finish it.
Any advice?
