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.
Procrastination is the grave in which opportunity is buried.

I am definitely in the begining cycle of becoming a butterfly, but at least I am not somewhere sqashed in the dirt. Somehow, I keep thinking I should be able to fly while I am still a catapiller, but I need to remeber there is a cycle or growth and metamorphasis.
That's a fantastic thought!
That's a fantastic thought!

Today I've been to church, gone shopping, spent some time w/ my bf's mom, and set up a model railroad :) It's nice to have some scheduled, guilt-free fun (I think this is really important for avoiding procras.)
I've also done a little bit of work...I made a schedule for next week, and started (very preliminary) brainstorming for my thesis proposal.
In the rest of the day, I'd like to do some more (academic) work, and a few more chores as well. In particular, I'd like to:
1)Organize papers in my room
2)Deal w/ emails from the past week
3)Fix terrible javascript validation
4)Spend 45 min organizing computer files
5)Do cooking for the week
OK, I'm going to take care of the papers and emails now. Should take about an hour total. Back when that's done.

I LOVE SNOOPY!!!
I started today with my P.T. exercises, but have no hope of being consistent. Every time I have hope and feel it's going well, it falls to poop, so I don't know. Would like to end the day with my p.t. exercises, then there are p.t. back stuff I need to do 10 times a day.
Why does it feel, most of the time, that no matter what gets accomplished, it's never enough? Anyone relate?
Today:
-call for waitressing position
-
resumes-WEBSITE
-call A
-laundry
-wash walls?
-find new credit card
-get insurance stuff ready to submit
-make phone calls for SZ
-call Ch
-call CL
-step back & don't react to h
It is still my hope that every day after work I can do at least one thing in the house and do it on a daily basis. With you and this wonderful site (THANKS PRO) it might be possible.
Will check-in again later.
All the best today you guys!!

Really had a successful day with my website, it's coming along and I'm happy with it. Thank G_d for you all and this site.
The only other thing I managed to do was laundry. I feel pressured by all the things undone.

Yes, I do relate and I
Yes, I do relate and I think it's because we expect too much of ourselves (well, I guess that's obvious...!)
Also, about this: 'I started today with my P.T. exercises, but have no hope of being
consistent. Every time I have hope and feel it's going well, it falls
to poop, so I don't know.'
I struggle with that kind of stuff too, and again, I think it's because we expect too much of ourselves. We shoot for perfection every time and naturally 'fail' every time. Actually, you're able to do your exercises some of the time, and that's not failure, it's progress. You'll probably find you can do them more of the time if you can treat missing a day as just missing a day and not everything falling to poop (though like I said... I struggle with that too!! :) )
Thanks very much Lucky
Your feedback is very helpful. The only thing I can think of is maybe HP put us together and here with our Pro COMMUNITY (yes that's the word) so we can get help from one another?
All good things - Lucky

I'm tired after procrastinating on going to bed last night, and suspecting I've given myself too much to do... but WE SHALL SEE!
