Procrastinators Anonymous is a fellowship of men and women who share their experience, strength and hope with each other that they may solve their common problem and help others to recover from chronic procrastination.
Been thinking of you these past few days. I called in sick last Thursday. I feel bad that I have to start counting from day 1 again. I was the most productive day at home that I've had in quite a while. I got lots of packing done for our move, gave my girl a bath, did food shopping and cooked!!!
Knowing we're moving is keeping me focused & helping me do things much quicker.
As I've been successfully accomplishing, I've been thinking gratefull about you guys and this group.
Keep on truckin!!
♥"Together we could do, what we could not do alone.♥
I read your post and it sounds like you got a lot done! Hopefully the day off isn't too much of a prob. for work, but if so, no one is perfect. We just have to keep reminding ourselves. Best of luck with the move!
Show up (done) I am at K-mart now-they have free internet service and I get drawn to it like a magnet because the computers are fast. Drove all over the place with my son learning to drive. He is pretty good. I am so proud of him. Younger one, drop off pick up, driving one, pick up prind, drop friend off, etc. etc.
Went to bed at midnight, one of son's friend slept over, I feel like I am spinning.Older son passed 10th grade in 5 weeks. Now he is where he belongs in 11th. I am so grateful my HP used me to help him. It was all such a miracle. His self esteem went up 10,000 points.
I need to do my one treat for myself when I get home. walk-my codependency takes over and I put myself last. So go to food store- with 2 very active, growing teenage boys (younger one gre 5 inches in a few months) and their friends, I am constantly going to the store. The buying in bulk does not work because after they open a product, they think it is stale after a few days and will nto eat it. Plus I am not organized enough to make weekly plans.
so plan :store, walk (not done)
Got home, cleaned 2 bathrooms and took shower and lunch. I want to go to oa marathon, so no time to walk.
Still have not sent out letter. Break it down.
1. took out scanner to scan what I want to send and have a copy. Seems like everythhing is impulsive and I do not get focused enough to complete task. I will keep scanner out and scan a few things then go to marathon.
(DONE)_ I need to add PA determines motivation!!! Thanks guys.
I like the threadstarter, too! :) Thanks, Edge! :)
Crockpot has almost finished cooking. In a few minutes, I will change crockpot from Low to Warm, then go on my bike ride. I hope to update my CI throughout the day.
Bike ride = light mist during my ride, but it never started raining. I did my full route. Even though I am already wearing my cooler-weather cycling togs, I may need to add another layer on these morning rides.
Crockpot. I have never cooked this entree before. I didn't intended to have lunch for breakfast, but food was done & I wanted to try it. Fortunately it turned out well. I will leave crockpot on Warm until I get back from doing my errands. After lunch, I will parcel out the food into containers for the freezer & for lunch next week :)
11:45am. I am back from buying provisions and supplies for a craft project. I put gas in my car, dropped off my library books, and dropped off some things at Goodwill. I could have stopped at some other stores to shop, but feel like I have already done enough. I want to rest for a few minutes, then decide how I will be straigthening the condo this afternoon.
4:40pm. Still shuffling along around here. I have a load of clean dishes in the dishwasher. I'm trying to feel motivated to dry them with a towel & put them in the cabinet. Hmmmm. Waiting for the motivation to come. Waiting. I think I will make my gym bags and then see how I feel about the dishwasher.
5:10pm. Dishwasher is going with another load, and the first set of gym bags are made. I can make another set of gym bags tomorrow after some clothes have dried on the drying rack. Next: more puttering around. ;)
6:50pm. I went out & bought a missing item for my craft project. I know the item is around here somewhere, but I couldn't find it. Anyway, I am back in now. Next: I will call my dad, then run the dishwasher one more time, and work on my craft project.
8:05pm. Craft project is finished. Had phone call with Dad. Dishwasher is running. I don't think I need to do anything else today. Whew!!!
I want to get these reports done this weekend. I have work and a big family reunion/b-day today and then a wedding tomorrow. I feel like I should be staying home to do these reports instead -but I can't at this point-the family would not be understanding of that one.
I am always trying to arrange events(missing them, declining them) so that I can get done the things I put off-but when I have the time...like when I am awake at 4 am morning worrying about them-I don't do them-WHY???
Today:
go to work
get rest of gift
go to party
put at least (starting really small) 10 minutes into a report today
Thanks Edge for the starter!!
