I'm up too late. I've been doing email - writing some letters, and also cleared my spam folder.
I really need to get ready for bed now. I have to get up at 6am, and I will be tired.

I got home just a little while ago - meeting, then dinner afterwards. I've been doing my email. I need to get to bed soon. I don't feel tired, but I probably will when I lay down. I'll start my bedtime routine now.
I'm so happy I picked up my apartment this morning! It was starting to look like a dump.

Negative feelings about myself provide the points of my compass. I need my negative feelings in order to navigate through my daily life. I depend on them for a familiar sense of identity. Without them I would be uncomfortable and lost, without boundaries or landmarks.

Thomas C.--more checking in
Haven't gotten a lot done, but have gotten some things done:
* entered debit transactions into checkbook
* met with student A
* made comments on student B's paper
Still to do:
* grade student C's make-up exam
* drop off student B's paper, fill out form for student C's incomplete (one trip)
* draft letter of recommendation for student D
* balance checkbook
* draft letter of recommendation for student E
* grade quiz 4A
* draft letter of recommendation for student F
* grade quiz 5
* rewrite lecture for next Monday, class 1
* do readings, write quiz for class 2
Tomorrow I could finish up the letters of recommendation and get other lectures rewritten. But if I were to finish everything above I'd be amazed.
And I posted a comment, by the way, on the time-bingeing thread. It now occurs to me that I have NO time for writing put in for today or tomorrow. And it further occurs to me that if I did write for two hours (one hour today and one hour tomorrow), I WOULD get a huge amount done on the article I'm planning. So I think I'll revise my lists.

Thomas C.--Thursday CI
Yesterday was my crazy day. Class 10 a.m. to noon, office hours from noon to 2 p.m., class 2-4 p.m.
I tend not to post on Wednesdays--and even Mondays, which are just like them without the office hours.
Anyway, I have a long list of things to do:
* enter debit transactions in checkbook
* read, make comments on paper draft of student
* read, grade make-up exam
* send quizzes to student
* meet with research assistant
* draft letters of recommendation
* balance checkbook
* write quiz
* grade another quiz
* rewrite lecture for upper-division class
* grade yet another quiz
* rewrite lecture for lower-division class
* give make-up midterm at 3 p.m.
There's more, but that's a LOT!
Some time today I'm going to start a thread about time-bingeing. How do you not time-binge when there's so much to do? Is it just breaks, or what?

I gotta tell ya... Looking at your list with the nice legend makes me think perhaps that you were using the creation of the list to procrastinate. Maybe not, but I thought I'd mention it just in case.

Yesterday it seems everything was afficted with the "hurry up and wait syndrome". I had several things to attend to, barely got to any on time, yet had to wait a long time at each place. It made me wonder "who's the procrastinator here".
To Do:
morning things
order supplies
finish project "A" (a simple one: yeah!)
clean up workshop a bit
work on project "B" for a couple of hours
housework for half an hour
