Recycler CI 8:50pm EST
Hi Pro Buddies!
This morning at the gym, I did cardio, stretching & ab exercises.
At work this morning, my pre-highlighted project list helped me a lot. I just kept plugging at it, and thanks to minimally few interruptions, progress was made. At lunchtime, I went to a study group. After lunch, I aimed for easier parts of my project list. At the end of the day, I re-prioritized and highlighted my list for tomorrow morning.
After work, I had dinner with a group, and then attended my class. After class, I picked up 2 audio books at the library, and bought a couple provisions at the grocery store.
The rest of the week will I get to check in? Thursday I will be at work; however it may be busy, so I'm not sure I will get to CI. The rest of the week I will be away from the computer. Well, what happened on the last similar situation, I did end up with some computer access. If that happens again, maybe I'll post, maybe I won't; I won't know until then. Anyway, I hope everyone has a great week/Weekend :) I should be able to CI again next week, possibly as early as Tuesday.
Have a great night, everyone! :)

Good morning.
Project U is the top priority today. I will finish it by end of the day, sooner if at all possible.
I will be interrupted this AM by a rush trip to the bank and the drug store.
I can feel myself tempted by distractions. I will remember that I've set aside time every day for those otherwise "distracting" activities that have some value.

Journey 8:45 & update
Working from home today. Yesterday was very busy with meetings, but I didn't feel that I got much actual work done. I did stay on task most of the day, though, so I feel good about that.
I have a meeting in 15 minutes, and this promises to be another day full of meetings. This means I need to use the rest of the time very wisely.
Have a productive and enjoyable day everyone!
Update 12:30 ok, I've had two of the three meetings for today and now I'm just sitting here . . . I had an invitation to do something at lunchtime and I don't have time for it, so I passed, but now I'm just sitting here feeling ambivalent. Could I really have gone? Am I just hiding my head in the sand and being anti-social? I should go. No, I shouldn't. Arrrrgghhh. The decision is already made, so just move on already
Taking a short break, then check back here, then back to work!
Update 1:30 I'm back!

Good morning all,
Today I am well rested and relaxed as I enter the new work day. I have had many challenges in the last week and met them one and all proactively, thank you pro and others for this website. As I work this program I feel so much better than when I procrastinated in anx. The best antidote to anx is truely action.
During the morning phone checkin I became aware of what for me creates immobilization to action. I now know that the emotion attached to the task, (fear, anger, resentment, shame, disapproval etc) is why I procrastinate in most cases. I am learning to detach emotions from the tasks. My focus is on completing the task and to the extent that it is difficult I can check in with myself and my hp.
Now Checking into morning phone meeting and will post tasks for the day before 9.
Spirit
good job spirit!
dang I keep forgetting about that phone call!
