Getting a jump start
O.k., I have a little extra time this afternoon unexpectedly, which I could easily fritter away. (Mmm, fritters. . . ) But instead I intend to do a (10 + 2) * 5 hack for the next hour, and get a jump-start on some chores for tomorrow.
Hope everyone's having a happy weekend!

4 out of 5
Did (10 + 2) * 4, then realized I should eat something before leaving. Close enough!

I'm showered and dressed now. I have a lot to do around the apartment, but I haven't been out yet today and I have cabin fever. I also need to go grocery shopping, so maybe now is a good time for that.

Good morning! It always gives me a smile when I log in here and see nice graphics in the thread starter, so thanks, Edge!
I banned another spammer this morning who was trying to register.
I have a bunch of very tedious stuff to do this weekend. I got up early, but have been getting a slow start. I'm doing a few things around my apartment, and now I need to get into the shower and get dressed.
Laundry has to happen this weekend.
Pile has to happen this weekend - I've been putting this off for months.

another thing I've been procrastinating on...
I'm going to a family bat mitzvah very soon, and I have an Aliyah. I've never done that before. I don't know Hebrew, and I don't know the prayers. If I'm not to make an ass of myself and embarrass my family, I need to start studying and soon. A friend of mine told me not to worry since so many people screw up Aliyahs, but don't want to screw it up.

Spammer-wrangling
Hi Pro,
Thanks for booting out the spammers!
Just wondering if your "pile" is a pile of papers, etc. that need sorting. If it is, I'll be happy to swap you my pile for yours! ;-)
I usually find it easiest to tackle paper heaps in short doses (like, 20 minutes at a time, at most) otherwise I just get overwhelmed. I also find it's a good task to do in a (10 + 2) x 5 hack (www.43folders.com/2005/10/11/procrastination-hack-1025) Your mileage may vary, of course.
Best of luck with it!
Falcon
you don't want my pile - trust me!
Oh yes, it's most certainly a pile of papers. You're right to do it in short doses. My tactic (which I know very well is wrong) is to wait until I have a block of time, which of course I never do. I've even written articles for this Web site about what a trap this is, but I still do it.

I hope you have a good day today and get all the important things done you have planned. My list is probably way too long, but I have a tendency to make it that way!
Julie
Thanks, Julie!
Thanks, Julie! The day went ok, but I didn't get all of my to-do, I'm afraid :-p How did yours go?
