So I've done all the small stuff, procrastinated a lot and avoided my big tasks. Let's see if I can pull off a few things in the last couple of hours.
cl daily overcoming
many big exciting things to do. Things i love. Opportunities. I feel very positive.
i also feel like it's almost unavoidable that i binge.
but miracles happen. I'm here for a miracle today.
i've set my timer. wait--no i have not done that yet. Ok now i have. chat each 15 min to keep my mind centered, focused, planned, not binging.
:) 10min ci
:) 10min emerg email only / ck mtgs
:) 10min enter stuff into todo prg
:/ some unscheduled, fun, but should have been deliberate, stuff
:) 30min quiet time
ok that prayer time was an eye opener. my "excitement" about all the "things" i was going to do, kept breaking in. I had a "martha, martha" moment.
i left deflated. And that's good, because now god can inflate. i now feel less excited and more obedient.
will it last?
:) 30min noticed my work email is down, so dealing w/ that
:) 10min dailies
:) 10min work plan
:) still on track
work hard.
15min rdy
60min wko

Monday
Been a long time. Need to find a routine that works, and make choices that are positive.
finish heritage cuttings, figure out captions almost done entire project, son just needs to do his part -- took pretty much all day, did not multi-task with chores
start laundry
vacuum and put away vacuum
unload then load dishwasher done
make cookies need to do tonight, or will have grumpy children and husband in am

Thanks Strike!
I saw that picture and I automatically started whistling the theme from The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly.....a fitting theme for me today as I continue to inch forward on tax stuff. I have work today at 1 and would like to make a decent dent before I go.
this morning's morning routine:
meds without food: taken
meds with food
dishes
laundry - sorted
swish and wipe
dress to shoes
I haven't made the best choices this morning: when I wake up and get directly into paperwork my life suffers. Time to fix that. Chatbox bound.....
Have a productive day, all!

Great threadstarter! Makes me feel like killing off those tasks one by one!
Hope everyone had a great weekend! I didn't check in over the weekend but I was working, it was our quarterly DR test. I'm tired from working 12 hours Saturday and then trying to catch up on housework/grocery shopping on Sunday, but I don't mind, it was a good test and one of my favorite things to work on. I'm a natural worry wart so planning and preparing for a disaster is actually kinda fun for me
. We no longer get an official day off for working the weekend but I'll sneak in some unofficial "comp" time this week.
Today, I've been to the gym, checked email & calendar, and now I have my coffee and cereal and I'm making my todo list. later!
UPDATE check out 5:15 meh. Not the best day, not the worst. Going home!

G'mornin' y'all...great threadstarter, strike. Seeing my favorite good/bad guy will "Make my day!"
I wrote my early morning plans last night before bed and it did help me get an early start...but not early enough to make the 7am AA meeting I'd planned to attend.
PA has taught me to let go of missed deadlines/goals and just keep moving, so that's what I'm up to now. Here is my plan du jour, with my Higher Power's help:
Ag's work plan
Ag update 3:15pm, 11:35pm finale
wow, the day is far gone and I have yet to do even one honest hour of billable work. And I keep finding lists on undone detrita. So here is an updated consolidated and prioritized list:
certainly not a stellar day but I plowed through steadily and did not procrastinate. things certainly seem to be taking me a lot longer these days...sigh.
