 I've been in and out of my home office today,scattered between work tasks and home/kid time. (No. 2 son is w/ me this weekend. No. 1 son, now 18, is in and out much more on his own schedule.)

Back in the office now.

Tasks to do:

1) Make at least 1, preferably 2, phone calls for Project A-S

2) Do my complete overview, which I haven't done for some time.

1. Spent all morning developing, researching, editing weekly topic for another 12 step loop. I am filling in for a person out on surgery. Of course I had to make it "perfect" so that I could get people to share/recover- (like i REALLY HAVE THAT POWER- WHAT AN EGO)

Maybe in the morning I will be in a better mindframe. Thanks

     and accept.

I'm sleepy this morning!   My daughter is home for the weekend so we stayed up too late last night . . . but I've been to the gym, read email, and checked my calendar.  I don't feel like working, so it will be easy to fall into procrastination today.  I'll try to check in frequently.  

Now, quiet time, then coffee, then todo list.  I'll check in after my todo list is made.  I DID complete everything on my todo list yesterday which was great!  First time in a while that I have done that.   Let's see if we can do it again today.   I need to take into account my low energy today when I am making that list.

Have a great Friday and a wonderful weekend!

UPDATE 10 am:  Quiet time and to do list completed.   I'll choose an administrative task to do first, to get me started. 

UPDATE 11 am:  Admin task #1 completed.  Now doing another admin task.   I'm cooking with gas now!  I like starting with the easy stuff and leaving the hard things for after lunch when my energy is at its highest. 

UPDATE 2 pm:  finished admin task #2, went out to lunch with coworkers, then completed two of my red tasks.  Short tasks, but high priority.  Now on to the third high priority task.  I plan to work on this for one hour, then check in and take a short break. 

UPDATE 4 pm.  Got a lot done on the third high priority task, but worked on it for two hours rather than one.  Postponed a couple of low priority tasks to make up the hour.

I have three tasks left to do today, if I spend half an hour on each, that will take me to the end of the day comfortably.  So, next, follow up on Java thingy.

UPDATE 5 pm: followed up on the Java thingy, which is going to be a bigger deal than I thought, but that's cool, my intention today was to figure out what was going to be needed.  Also did the next task for Project TF, and now I'm going to research how to do a task on Project V.  Then I'm going home!!  With every work task checked off (or postponed for a good reason).

Have a great weekend everyone . . . having people over for dinner tomorrow night and that will keep me highly motivated to get everything done tomorrow .  . . so probably won't check in again til Sunday.
