I missed yesterday CI... And was about to miss today's as well...

I coulkd say yesterday was a terrible day... at least it started bad with SS being rejected from school for missing some papers (not my fault)... Hat to get back home, feed her and go get the signature on the papers, then back to school... this all made me arrive two hours late to work and totaly unfocused... then got a couple hours of good work (I even think I actually accomplished more than on regular days but I know I couldn't keep this pressure from a lot of days like thi. Then on the afternoon I had  to interview a couple guys for an open position in the department and this also prevented me from Checking in.

 But the truth is that I procrastinated about it and didn't do it.

I am still unfocused today, haven't had a chance to plan what's next. I needed to make a quick stop and I have figured out that checking in does allow me that... It means a 5 minute stop to think what I have to do today as well as express how I felt about the day before and how I feel each day.

I know I should also come and check out... I shouln't write about yesterday here on check in since there's no oportunity to change what happened yesterday... so, from now on, I will make the effort to check in as early as possible every day (even if that early moment arrives at 3 pm) and checking out before going to bed (wich I actually have to stop procrastinating as well so I can sleep more and watch less TV).

I have not thought on what I would like to work on today so I'll just make one commitment (specially after reading those revealing posts about multitasking):

Today I must go home early after writing HCat about the FV claims on BaM!

That's it! I won't place my usual 8-12 list of pending stuff, Only this single task wich is making me unconfortable!

Thanks everyone for being here! While I haven't cultivated the habit of replying the posts I read I do appreciate you guys for sharing.

God, thank you for leading me into the right path, please help me walk it and prevent me from wandering in the surroundings no matter how plesant they look!

Hi Pro Buddies!

This morning at the gym, I did my full cardio, stretching, and ab exercises.

In the office this morning: I worked on my project list, and got several projects out of the way.

During Lunchtime: I did an errand, and got take-out for lunch. I made phone calls to people in my support group.

Afternoon at work: I continued working on projects. I have updated & highlighted my assignment list for in the morning.

After work, I will walk home.

8:10pm. I've washed 2 loads of clothes this evening. Next: write emails to 2 friends.

I hope to update my CI later.

Have a great night! :)

Thank you, gals & guys, for being here! :)

I have been procrastinating. Enough said. Now I must must must do this thing.

Step 1. write out the problem in sentences that expose the logic

Step 2. put all the data you know about it one place where you can see it.

Step 3. identify the goal based on the data

Step 4. identify the factors that drive the decision and assess conflicting factors

Step 5. Decide which two factors are most important.

Step 6. Craft a compromise and execute it

Sound good? This is ridiculous.

God grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, the courage to change the things I can, and the wisdom to know the difference.

show up, plan(done)I think I am going to have to substitue my 2nd consistency from plan to walk. After I walk, I feel ok. But I can't seem to let myself go until I.... whatever and here it is. My new plan is show up and walk at 6:30 am when my son boards the bus. If it is a toss up between plan and walk, for me, walk is more important, I cna plan when I walk (if I want to) , it will not take me long to get into the habit of walking again. I go but no set time and then I am all over the place with my day. Not walking for me is like not brushing my teeth. So back to 1 consistent action- show up. I did things this morning, got son approved in cyber school, some declutter, sponsee calls. But I do better if I get my walk out of the way first.

The school called me to substitute today. I could not go but it did take away some of the "shame" I was feeling because of the whole not getting paid thing calls, that they still wanted me.

Walk now- I was up since 4am. ck in later. thanks for being here. Vic

Hope-Faith needs to get back into rountine having the summer off and then going back the transistion is always hard. I will say that I have not been procrastinating "to bad" however my daily routines have fallen by the wayside and well my house is a "major" mess with clutter. Anyway I am at work now so I will not think about the house.

 Today

1. Deadline list for gp
2. Test for 3rd
3. games for 4th

Thanks to everyone for the encouragement and prayers. It means alot. Yesterday and today are oases - no doctor appointments! Should be a great time to catch up but I'm pretty tired, so starting with prayer to forgive myself if I don't move very quickly, adopting Clement's idea that I'm disabled rather than sinful or wrong.

Today I want to eat my meals on time and sitting down, (5:55pm: so far so good, except for a few last bites of salad I ate on the way to class late) use recovery Tools (so far so good), return phone calls DONE,

reduce my Inbox from 47 to <20 progress not perfection, resolve the software thing completely major progress, about halfway there, call 3/10 of my training sites, and be on time and prepared for my Statistics class I was neither, but I showed up and that's worth alot today. 

I completed my business class homework and turned it in last night - I was up late (1am) but it feels good to be finished with that (and I already heard back from my instructor that I did good. )

Hope everyone has a great day.

Good morning!  It's my Friday, I'm taking tomorrow off (yay!) to get tires for my daughters car - $300+ (boo!).  But what the heck, it's gotta be done, she can't be drivin' around on bald tires.

Yesterday was an ok day for a work-at-home day, the morning wasn't that productive, but I got into gear in the afternoon and took care of a lot of small tasks that had been lingering on my todo list.

I'm feeling headachy and stuffy today, which is pretty normal for me in the fall, but makes me want to crawl into bed and stay there rather than being productive!  I've taken the allergy pill so hopefully I'll perk up soon, but gotta get moving regardless.

Have an enjoyable and productive day everyone!
