Falcon CI Tuesday eve.
Hi all,
To do:
Falcon
Recycler CI 5:45pm EST
Hi!
Today: elliptical, work. Shipped a package I had been procrastinating about mailing for months. Afternoon: migraine, stayed at work but didn't get things done.
Tonight: rest around house, so migraine doesn't come back. Not going to support group, which meets in a hot room because that could bring migraine back. Stay in Recycler Cave and go to bed early.
Have a great night, everyone!
Recycler
Thank you, gals & guys, for being here! :)
Finished my Gr. 10 Academic Math coursework!
I finished yesterday. What a good feeling! Now I have to study for the exam.
I'm going to try and study for two hours a day. The potential pitfalls I see are getting distracted on the internet when getting help from math websites and getting bored/frustrated when I run into set backs.
Wish me luck, I'll try to check in every day with my progress.
Go Plo!
Congratulations,
that sounds like a big accomplishment - just think! Soon you won't have this hanging over you, but instead, you will have achieved it.
;D
For myself, I'm better at giving myself a study goal than a time goal - say, study up on *this* topic etc, or solve that many problems, then, tell myself that if accomplish that goal faster, I get to run off and have free time! :D
It usually takes longer than I think it should anyway, but I procrastinate *slightly* less...
First time caller here!
Hi all here's my list for today...
- backup my audio files for recent project to DVD, and clean audio folder

Welcome Zappa!
Glad to have you on board. You're in NZ, right? guess it's morning there!
You probably want to put your name in your checkin posts, otherwise it gets confusing because there are lots of us!
Welcome!

scarlett CI 2:50 pm EDT
Way behind at work again, so behind I'm scared to face it.
Turning on Instant Boss. Goal is to check off routine and create a to do list for the rest of the week.
The adrenaline you've been living on only leaves you wanting.
Go Scarlett, Go Scarlett . . . we're cheering for you!

Hi Scarlett,
We all know that feeling of being scared to facing how far behind we are. You are not alone.
How's you list going?
Best wishes

c ci
been time binging on my MIT at work.
need to be more deliberate.
this is my first step. It's 2:15 pm
2:35 worked on task2 at work. Dont let it get out of hand.
3:20: back to MIT for last 35 min. 5 min for lunch. 3 min chat w/ son. have to wait for something to finish. Maybe i should scope out the steps to getting this thing done. with my free time right now...
3:25: SO asked w/ help...
3:40: 15 min for SO. interrupted by work phone call.
3:53: 10 min. back to MIT.
8pm: worked til 6pm on MIT. probably binging. Made some progress. Family time.
Now, do i have the guts to spend some time with HiPo even tho i'm behind at work. Writing that sentence moved me from "probably not" to "probably will". Maybe because now I'd be embarrassed here if i didnt follow thru.
Journey 10:00 12:00 1:15 4:10 5:45
Headed to a meeting . . . after the meeting finish up the second change request.
I still have three of the four phone calls to make! Three is too many to face for today, so I'm shooting for making two calls today.
Update 12:15 worked on a trouble ticket for the past couple hours. taking a lunch break, then back to the change request. No, scratch that. One of the two dreaded phone calls right after lunch. Check back at 1:00, by then I should have one of those phone calls crossed off my list.
Update 1:15 I cheated lol and was able to take care of one of the phone calls by emails. That's so much easier! The second phone call has been made. #3 depends on the answer to #1 so I can't do it today. Back to change management.
Update 4:00 struggling with this task - I have to figure out how to do it before I do the implementation plan - got stuck for a while but back on track now.
Update 5:45 Done! going home. Stopping by the library to pick up a book "Boundaries" that was highly recommended, picking up dinner, and spending 1/2 hr. on laundry. I also need to remember to put two items in my work bag.

I feel the same: the words that I read here on a daily basis are just amazing. Even though my family is going through just about every transition imaginable (moving, mother in law with Alzeimers,money worries, son graduating from high school, other son moving on to high school (and not doing well academically) potential surjury, marital ups and downs, searching for work, I am serene . (well, at least as serene as I can be being me!). Knowing that when I come here I will usually see some people who have been around for a while encouraging the new folks who have found us helps me to regain my center.
hugs!
Why, thank you, Lark
Thanks for being here for us too!

Journey 8:45
Early to work today yay! I went back to body pump class this morning after being out for a week due to my little illness. Man, those weights got heavier while I was gone!
I didn't feel very productive yesterday, although I worked hard all day. I realize this is because I planned one hour for a task that took four hours and is still not finished. Hmmm, I'm doing much better at staying on task these days, but I still need work on planning and prioritizing. Progress, not perfection!
I am continuing to take a few moments in the morning to set my intentions for the day and ask for help from HP. I'm attempting to do a little more asking for guidance and direction rather than putting forth my plans and asking for them to go smoothly. It's not easy for such a selfish person as myself to say "your will, not mine" but I'm trying.
Normal morning routine coming up, coffee, email, set MITs for the day. Try to be more realistic about scheduling.
Have an enjoyable, successful, and productive day everyone!

e's Tuesday
a big pain in the a@@ day today: doctors appointments, arguments with travel agents, arguments with children about packing, sorting and packing, big huge messes, etc.
For today, HP, help me to stay in the moment, be reasonable and make amends when I make transgressions - and be clear on whether I really transgressed or not.
Productive vibes for all
