Hi all. 

I don't feel very good. Not bad, bad, necessarily, but I haven't done the right things today. Not really. Number one. I didn't eat. Just one bag of chips. I don't know why I couldn't eat more. There are a million reasons, probably. Number two. My extra freelance job is still not getting done. It's just sitting here waiting for me to start on it. I am so tempted to take time from my real job to get it done this week. But the truth is I have real work things to solve at work. Plenty to do. No spare time. I am in denial. I am gearing up for a vacation week, the first in more than three years. Going to NYC for fun. This should be good, but I'm secretly nervous. Will I be able to be prepared to go? In other words, will the newsletter magically get done in time for me to leave the city with it FINISHED??? Okay. Like I said, I don't feel too good.
I also have to do laundry. And I should vacuum. and straighten up a little.
Okay. Okay. Really. The thing I need to do is: EAT. and lay in the text of all restaurants. Do it quick and .... Why do I think this won't take any time at all? It will. I need to start immediately.

All I can say is I'm a case study in procrastination techniques. I don't seem to be really breaking the habit. My life is different with a full time job and I do accomplish things at that job on a timely basis. It's done a lot to change my life. But, on my own time I need to work on this habitual lackadaisical-ness (lackadaisicality?). 

I sort of ate (as much as I could)
I did laundry
I vacuumed
I straightened up.
I did NOT do the newsletter layout.
It's 11pm and I've paired and rolled my last pair of socks. It's time to get to bed so I can start my work week. Funny how I worked things that way. I get the sense of accomplishment, but did everything except the thing that I really needed to do. I'm sure I'll steal the time from something else to finish this. And I will feel very guilty.

:P

-Clean out the fridge
-Color hair
-Straighten house
-dust bedroom
-straightened the bathrooms and wiped off the counters
-two loads of laundry
-Make dinner
-Clean kitchen
-Find forms for SL stuff and figure out what to do next
--Prep for tomorrow

Do this stuff on Tuesday:
-Change cat litter
-Feed birds and hummingbirds
-water plants
-September Budget
-One item from the mending pile
-Vacuum bedroom
-tanning bed
-Start filling out that stupid form - work on it 15 minutes

Worked on the SL form a little bit - this is one thing I've been putting off forEVER.  I didn't do much but I made a start. 

Hope everyone has a good Monday.

Good Sunday morning!

Yesterday was a "work from home" day for me and I wasn't very productive.  I planned on multi-tasking and getting some chores done while I did mindless work stuff like listen to conference calls but I wasn't very successful, then I stayed up late playing video games.  :((

So today, I gotta catch up lol

TO DO:
-Clean out the fridge
-Color hair
-Straighten house
-dust and vacuum bedroom
-sort laundry - wash, dry and fold one or two loads
-Make dinner
-Clean kitchen
-Work project #2 (one task)
-Find forms for SL stuff and figure out what to do next
-Do September budget
-One item from the mending pile
-Prep for tomorrow

If time - this stuff can wait til Tuesday if needed
-Change cat litter
-Feed birds and hummingbirds
-water plants

This may be too ambitious of a list - I need to not get overwhelmed by a huge list, because when I do that I end up doing NADA.   THe financial tasks need to get done, but I can work 15 minutes on each of the three financial tasks and stop.  I can handle that, I think!  

Happy Sunday, next check in at . . .um . . . 4 pm.  Midafternoon is when I usually fade off into non productive land, so maybe the check in will keep me on task!

Jump start

Falcon - 29 Sep 2007 - 8:50pm

Hi all,
I know it's still Saturday, but I wanted to get a jump start on tomorrow, so I thought I'd go ahead and start this thread.
Tomorrow I want to sleep in, but when I get up this is what I need to do right away:

  • Go for a walk
  • Do weight lifting
  • Put in a load of laundry
  • Review things that need to get done for the day and week

Falcon

Slight change in plans

Falcon - 30 Sep 2007 - 9:48am

O.k., got the 1st three things done.  But I've got some things on my mind & I'm not concentrating well enough to focus on reviewing stuff -- I'm better off doing something physical than mental until my brain finishes defragging itself.  :)

So before I go out, I intend to:

  • Clean the bathroom
  • Vacuum the kitchen and bedroom
  • Dust the living room and bedroom

Falcon

Got some done

Falcon - 30 Sep 2007 - 9:09pm

Well, I did get some cleaning done, but also took a much-needed nap.  I'll be back later in the week when I have a free evening and can tackle the rest of the cleaning!

Falcon

Thanks!
