You can’t change your entire job – you can only change your next task.
You can’t change the past, or control the future – you can only change what you’re doing right now.
You can’t change everything – you can only change one, small thing.
And that’s all it takes."

lots more, but that is enough for the moment
Success is not final, failure is not fatal
Thursday
I cycle in and out of motivation and procrastination. Yesterday I did bad. I let it get me down and gave in to the procrastination and just surfed the net and generally felt lazy. Then I got upset with myself and in a late microburst, I got done a dreaded paperwork task that I had planned for the weekend. It's those tasks that throw me off. Maybe I shouldn't try to spread them out across the week and just tackle them on Monday and get them out of the way? It seems like I'm always trying and planning instead of doing.
Let's see how it goes today.
work DONE
call about mower DONE
water plants DONE
wash dishes
pack lunch, prepare paperwork, clothes, bf for tomorrow
gather laundry
gather stuff for wkend
pack truck
weed garden and pot (from Tuesday)
exercise routine
The two task I've been avoiding all week:

Thanks Strike. Nice opener.
Procrastinated too much earlier in the week, now every has to be done today & by tomorrow morning and in the tiny little gaps of time I have. Ugh.
12 - 4 pm - Kitty Cleaning & Baths
7 - 9 pm - Dinner with J.-Prepare quarterly return to mail tomorrow -- PREPARED, NEEDS PRINTING OUT
-Email entries for cards-Pack for weekend trip -- STARTED, MUST FINISH IN MORNING
-Coordinator with person from Grb. to deliver items -- TRIED, NO RESPONSE
-Figure out Sat. kitty sitter-- NEED TO PRINT OUT INSTRUCTIONS-Pay Bills (esp.
Cori Tax,E Citi, E Jp, &E Ds)Oi... so tired. But seemed fairly successful tonight. I think all I should have to do in the morning is pack, print out stuff and mail one thing. Oh and water plants. Can't forget that!

WITHDRAWAL-
I just realized what I feel when I start taking care of unfinished business are WITHDRAWAL SYMPTOMS.
Mild withdrawal symptoms are often chiefly emotional. They can include anxiety, confusion, moodiness, nervousness, irritability, and depression.
Moderate withdrawal can include the aforementioned symptoms along with physical reactions like headache, nausea, tremor, excessive sweating, and increased heart rate.

Good morning...
Yesterday I lost time by beginning w/ surfing instead of deferring it as my daily schedule calls for. Today I won't do that.
I have a breakfast meeting for Project MR in about 1 hour, then a phone interview for the same project back here. The, focusing mostly on MR. But I do have other items that I must make headway on and that I've been deferring last couple of days.
Anyway. First task: Review the list of non-urgent tasks on my task pad and reschedule them to the future as much as possible, so the list is less cluttered and intimidating.
Update: 11:07 AM
Finished a phone interview for Project MR
Remaining tasks today:
1) PQE: Finish
2) MR: Get article structure worked out and begin to fill in gaps
3) MW: At least get it started
Update, 1:50 AM:
The last 3 hours have been essentially wasted. Time to start again.

Help I have fallen of the wagon and I am trying to get back on.
It has been a super busy 3 weeks. DS and DD have had so many activites--between baseball, softball, chior, BS, dance and livestock show their has been something every single night and weekend to do and it will be like this until the end of May. I have not even had time to make coffe in the am.
So I need to get back on the wagon and make things happen on the home front. My house looks like a train wreck. One step at a time I can do this.
K I have one leg in the wagon check back in later this evening.
Will try and update at the end of the day.

Hope-Faith CI 12:20
Have a few extra mins before I need to leave so will throw in a couple of extra task to help get me back into the wagon.
