Thursday 18 Mars 2010 Check-In
Today you are all determination personified. You are focused. Disciplined at your core. You might feel fearful or overwhelmed but you accept that and keep on moving in the only possible direction: forward. One step, one breath, one task at a time.
Today you are all productivity athletes.

Love the starter esp:

I am still moving forward toawrd task at hand on computer, breathing is irregular, in fact ,I find myself not breathing, I've been here before and need to remember it is not that bad once I start, and I am not alone.

Late check in but early start to the day, had problems at work starting at 4 am . . . now to take a break and figure out what is most important to do with what's left of the day and plan to finish up early and relax tonight.
Remember yesterday when I said I like working on problems? I take it back
well not really this is still my favorite part of the job. I wonder if I could morph my job so that I do more of this stuff and less of the stuff I don't like/am not good at. Thinking about that a little bit. I've expressed this to my team but never really talked it over with the boss.

Will post again when and if I wake up porperly. It is midday and I feel like its midnight.
Regards Rexroth
Rexroth Check Out
Done:
Some personal care
Washed up and put rubbish out
Sorted some papers and found a heap of unsorted papers
Friend phoned and we talked for a while which was helpful to me
Sacked coach who was free (i.e. I didn't have to pay for the service) but did not keep phone appointment on Tuesday nor phone until today to say he had been too busy - a phone call is 1-2 minutes! Wondering whether to complain to the service.
Todo:
Finish writing journal
Go to bed and sleep

Thank you for courage and being honest about your feelings, and showing up here. That really counts, at least for me it does if that is worth anything, alot more than if you would have posted a completed 100,000 item task list.
Thank you vic
Thank you vic.
It is great to have a safe space to share what is going on. I don't understand what or why. I suspect it is to do with the stress of doctors and lawers. Also things are changing for me.
Rexroth
That is what making this
That is what making this forum special: we're all humans! I would not feel comfortable in a forum where I perceived everyone as perfect. Honesty is key.
You have my support Rexroth.

Helen’s checkin
Yesterday I did 8 hours. Yay! Today I want to work at least 8 hours.
Self care- 3 hours
Exercise - 1 hour
Study - 3 hours
Admin/ job hunting -1hour
Decorating 1hour
Household - 2 hour
Self-development - 1hour
Helen's checkout
While technically I did my 8 hours (sort of) I dont feel pleased as I mostly spent the day in self-care. Nothing other than that was done and I am still procrastinating about finishing my CV. I hit a wall in the afternoon and felt very demotivated and sorry for myself.
