Dewdrop's CI, 3:20PM PST
Okay, here goes. I'm going to get started on this blasted work-related project that I was supposed to complete 2 weeks ago. Actually I was supposed to finish it 6 weeks ago, but managed to get an extension in between. Pathetic situation, but there's no way out of it other than to just do it. I need to get this out of my head - it's all I think about but I never do it.
Will check in again in 30 minutes to report my progress.
dewdrop's first ci
Hey Dewdrop, gratz on your first CI. It's a step in the right direction!
J.
Can't :(
I can't do this. I just can't. I don't even want to. :((
it was good you checked in
I understand - been there, done that. It's good you checked in rather than just disappearing. Eventually you will find the willingness and you'll do it, as long as you keep trying. Keep checking in.

Late start list
I like the book-end idea, so I'll try it!
Today, I will:
Start cleaning my desk off.
Make supper
Clean kitchen

I'm getting over long illness, so my list is kinda short,

life-long procrastination. I keep forgetting what I was doing, too!

Have a nice day all
After staff meeting, take a 45-min break and then check in by 1300. I usually have trouble transitioning back to work mode after taking a lunch break.
J.
1:00
lunch break's over, back to work.
J.
3:30
caught myself slipping off into internet surfing a couple of times but pretty much been focusing on Project #2 for 2 hours. Taking a 15 min break then back to work!
J.
OK, so it was a 30-minute break
But I'm back
J.
Project #2
TWO people have asked me about my overdue project today - well it's not overdue yet, but it is behind and the deadline is looming. I was embarrassed to admit that I was behind on it and pretended it was because I have been so busy on Project #1, which is a higher priority project. But you guys know the truth!
J.
Way to go!I made some
Way to go!
I made some progress in the AM, but have had trouble getting back on the "to do" list this afternoon - feeling very overwhelmed by all the things lurking that need to be done beyond the short list for the day/this afternoon. (I've been using the bat instead of the feather as M recommended this morning!)
Any ideas on how to get back on track???
focus
Yep, I have that same problem too. When I'm trying to work on one thing I think about a million others - or else I try to multitask (as you know from this morning lol!) I'm trying to work on just working on one thing at a time, and if something else occurs to me, I make a note of it and move on. Or I try to. Usually if I think about something I'm interested in, I'll google it and there goes an hour.

pro's CI - 9:10am
I haven't quite worked out the routine yet. I got up at 7am (not convinced it shouldn't be 6am). I found that I couldn't do the filing while eating breakfast because I want to sit still and enjoy my breakfast! Now I'm running late and I have a choice - do my 15 minutes of filing and 20 minutes of exercise and make myself even more late or (again) skip it. I'm going to skip it and get up earlier tomorrow. I don't want to be any later than I am.

Wednesday morning CI for Lark
I haven't been posting for a few days. Lots of things going on, and plans seem to get shredded. I hope to focus on one project for work today, as it's very urgnent. I also want to combine a couple of errands with a 12 step meeting, and do something on the homefront that's meaningful. Will check in later with specifics.
