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.

Thanks Jul for the reminder below "Like the Big Book says, if it were just a case of having more will power or hearing the right pep talk, i would have solved it by now. "
Rays of hope comes in many different forms. Don't give up.
Took care of "business items" . Interaction with some crazy people, need to calm down and not react.

Hi Guys,
So glad to be here, and it's so necessary. I spent a whole day in a DA forum on Saturday, a program that is closely related to this. It just keeps me mindful of the slow death that an addiction like this causes. And it is an addiction. Like the Big Book says, if it were just a case of having more will power or hearing the right pep talk, i would have solved it by now.
Just need to turn it over to my Higher Power and do what is in front of me to be done, and leave the results up to Him/Her.
Today: 1. Some relaxed cleaning around the house 2.Finish my resume and mail of w/ a cover letter (which is already done, woo hoo!), and 3. Get ready and go to dinner at my sister's. All very doable.
Thanks for being here!!
Julie
I've got to do my cover
I've got to do my cover letter tomorrow. I'm dreading it. It's terrible making resumes and cover letters. That's the sort of thing that can throw my whole week off.

I have been exhausted from work binges last week and spent the whole weekend and this morning catching up rest. Which is a delusion, as one never really catches up on damage done to one's body. My primary MIT today is to take care of this Skin Suit as if I actually believed it was God's first gift to me. (I do believe that, but I don't act like I believe it.)
And then, with the help of my Higher Power, act on these items:
3 hrs brgfeedback brg#1mtngs at 4, maybe 5order J's rxand labs2 hrs emdinner 6"My boundaries enclose a pleasant land..." Psalm 16
I need to make some notes to remember tomorrow. this was a fsat and furious day and I barely kept up:

Good morning, all!
I had a late night last night, so a bit of a late start this morning. I'm planning to keep today's time at lab relatively short, so I can do cooking/other chores tonight.
This list of what I want to get done will probably change a bit after I've made a schedule for the week, but my current list is:
*
Make a schedule for the week*Email DP, start review (want to get at least a paragraph done)
*Analyze half of biosensor data
*Work on presentation (1 hr focused work at least) (will do this soon)
Finish expr problem,write BayesNet problemAnd, in terms of chores, I want to:
*Make dinner, lunch, bfast food for the week
*Basic kitchen cleaning
*Hand laundry
*Start sprouts, plan for starting herb garden
OK, will start w/ BayesNet.

Happy Monday! Had a busy weekend, got all the chores done and had the kids over for dinner, did a tiny bit to advance one of my big projects. As Clem says, doing something is infinitely better than doing nothing.
I overslept this morning and am getting a late start but I did make it to the gym even though I didn't get there in time for spinning class. First thing I need to do today is review the status of Project G. Then, todo list, etc., etc.
Have a productive Monday and enjoy the process!
Jo

Good morning.
I can feel a very powerful temptation to defer from work into escapist activity.
Recreation and relaxation are fine. But Work comes first.
So the best way to overcome inertia is by moving forward.
My MITs for the day are
1) Project T-C-S
2) Project MR
progress!
3) Project P-Q-E
deferred
4) Project MW
deferred
There may be others that I need to advance, too. I haven't yet reviewed my task list for the day.
