Procrastination is the grave in which opportunity is buried.
Lark at 4:20pm Tired
I'm so lazy today, and don't feel up to par either. Gosh, I just need to do something to get out of this fog. This past week or so has been really bad, as far as procrastination goes. I ran erands all over earlier today and came back frustrated and p'oed. If I can get an hour's worth of productive work done I'll be thrilled. See you all later.
How's the fog, Lark?
Hi Lark,
I sympathize -- feeling foggy is a drag! I hope it has dissipated somewhat!
Falcon
Eh, some better.
Doing some better. Sometimes we just have to ride it out, while doing the best we can. I DID get some small parts of a big project done this evening, then I went to a meeting of my 12 step group. I hope we all do well this coming week. Thanks.
Falcon Saturday CI
Hi pro amigos,
Happy weekend!
I've got a boatload of stuff to do this weekend, but the top priority is to decompress from a crazy week.
Next up:
Things I need to do this weekend:
Things I'd like to do this weekend:
I'm going to be in and out a lot, so not everything may get done.
Finished my lunch while typing this! So, going to do my "next up" list and check back in.
Catch you later,
Falcon
Falcon is a sleepyhead
Whoa! I slept all afternoon! Apparently my brain needed the recovery time after a stressful week at work; I didn't realize how tuckered out I was. At least the eardrops had plenty of time to work
The good thing is I met my top priority, which was to decompress, but it's kind of a bummer that it took so much time, since I've got so many things I'd like to get done, and tomorrow is packed with commitments. I might ditch my evening plans for tomorrow; we'll see how it goes.
Next up: take my shower, then make an early dinner 'cause I'm starving (worked up an appetite with all that sleeping, apparently!)

Falcon CI - whoops
Hi all,
Whoops -- I got slurped off into looking things up online. I was looking for information that I will need eventually, but I definitely do not need to be focusing on today. So, back to today. . . Next up: make & eat dinner, then clean kitchen while making phone calls.
Falcon
Falcon CI - dang!
Dang! I just did it again while starting to get dinner heated -- got back online to look up info about moving. I understand why I'm feeling compulsive about it. . . I'm hoping to move in the near future and am really feeling overwhelmed by how in heck I'm going to get all the packing, etc. done at what is already a busy, hectic time of year. So I'm trying to ease my anxiety, I think.
But that's not going to help if I don't get today's tasks done; it'll just leave me with more stuff to do and more overwhelmed. So. . . back on track -- dinner (I'll watch TV or read so I don't gravitate back to the computer) kitchen, phone calls.
Falcon
Well done Falcon
for being aware of your actions, stopping yourself and getting on with your plan!

kromer 9:10 CI
OK, didn't get anything done last night, and haven't gotten anything done this morning. I need to pull myself out of this hole now...
I'm going to take care of an unfinished MIT from the past couple days...making a list of 20 people I might rotate with. That should take about 30 min, then I'll go to a church mtg, back around 2:15. (I'll update when I finish the list)
Update 9:35--OK, most way through the list (need to take 4 people off it, but at least I have a starting point...)

Hi Pro Buddies!
Trying to get with the program here.
This morning: clean bathroom, bag up trash to take out, fold & put away clothes, make gym/work bags for next week. Check in again later ;)
11:08. Folded & put away clothes. Did 2 more loads of laundry. Ran dishwasher. Bagged trash & took to dumpster. Went on bike ride. Bought provisions for the week. Delay on cleaning the bathroom and making the gym & work bags for the week. I need to pick up an order at the store -- I need to do that while I have enough energy, so I better do that next! I'm hoping to update my CI at least one more time before I go to a friends house for a movie tonight.
Have a great day, everyone1 :)
