I got quite a bit done today. Parts of the grading took a lot longer than I thought, but I should be close to finishing up by tomorrow or Sunday. My goal is to be finished and have grades posted by Sunday. They're due Monday night. Usually I turn them in about 2 minutes before they're due so I hope to do a little better than that (:

Not the most productive day in the world but not the least either. One thing I have noticed since I've been posting here, is that I'm more able to fit in smaller tasks in my schedule. That didn't make much sense, let me see if I can clarify. I used to try to get the BIG things done first and if I couldn't face a big thing, I'd do nothing. But now, when I can't face a big thing, I'll find something that I CAN do and go ahead and cross it off the list.

Julie's 9:50 CI
Good morning everyone! I have a lot of grading to do today and I should have gotten up earlier. I actually went to bed at 1 am last night, which is good for me, but still didn't get up at 8 as planned. I know I need to go to bed a little earlier but I don't really want to, so it's an ongoing battle. Hope everyone has a good day!

N's Check In
I too have been in a funk lately. More specifically, in my addiction. Today is the day I am going back to my "normal" schedule of 6 hours of work (loosely defined, including lunch and breaks) on my dissertation. I'm scared.
Before I face that, there is something I need to look up on the web, so I wanted to bookend that.
10 minutes web seach.
I will check back in after the 10 minutes, to make sure I don't get lost in the web . . .
N
Another bookend for N
I need another 10 minutes on the internet. Then I really, really will start working.
Will check back in.
N
Bookend for N
Okay, I spent 12 minutes, not 10, on the internet, which for me can be an issue. I could easily end up spending hours obsessively avoiding my work.
*Deep breath*
Thank you all for being here.
to do:
6 hours work
shop for household stuff
N
9:35 CI for Lark
This needs to be clean up and catch up day. I've been in a funk for a while, and when that happens, things don't get completed or done well. Stuff often doesn't get put away either. Unless I plan to take care of these things, they never get done, and too often seem to breed worse situations. Breaking them down into time spaces seems to work best for me, so...
Today:
5 minutes for the kitchen table
5 minutes for the living room
1 hour four behind my house
2 hours for current work project
15 minutes for workshop
30 minutes for lawn and driveway
complete small work project for friend of friend
Good luck everyone.

We're having our holiday luncheon at work today so the afternoon will probably be more festive than productive. But team building and networking are important too, so I will consider it time well spent!
