Yeah, those of you talking about making to-do lists at night are on my page. I seriously can't function without one and it's hard for me to go to sleep if I am thinking about that stuff. My anxiety then just turns to if I will even look at the list the next day (a big problem whenever I don't check in here.) With this board, it's also easier if my 'tomorrow' list is in my daily check in. One big reason is because it makes it way easier to check in the next day - just a quick copy and paste, modify if need be.

Send in an application for a job I want (resume and cover letter done already from the letter I sent to another company last week! That is a WIN for me!!)
I like what e shared about the value of making the next day's to-do list at night. I was dong that for awhile and it did have tangible results and rewards. I'm going to resume that habit; thanks, e! Today I have transferred critical docs from J's computer back to my own (fixed and home again, yay!), responded to some emails, and had 15 minutes of meditation in the sunshine. Now on to the list:
Book a salon appt DONE!
April monthly reports DONE!
April expense report NONE needed
3 hours on primer:
read all docs, 1 hour
id selections and placements, 1 hour
assign editing, 30 minutes
check M and V status, 20 minutes DONE!
status report, action items: 10 minutes
2 hours on EM ppt
review and make notes, 90 minutes
client correspondence, 20 minutes
schedule resulting action items, 10 minutes DONE a little
I would like to be finished working by 6pm, DONE!have a nice walk with the dog, DONE!a good dinner with J DONE!and then attend a recovery meeting at 8. Also need to be in bed by 10; I've been short on sleep again. And the cat is ill so I need to keep an eye on him today (at 15 he can't hack hairballs like when he was a kit, poor guy)
10pm finale: Not as productive as I'd have liked. I am avoiding the start of a task I resent because it normally takes 2-3 months and was handed me Friday with a due date in 2 weeks. First draft is due Thursday and I have not started - estimated length 100 pages with a team of 5 scared helpers who are looking to me to lead. God help me...and them!
On a happy note I did have good doggy-walk/play time and a great dinner with J, and the kitty is feeling much better tonight!
"My boundaries enclose a pleasant land..." Psalm 16
One project must get done today. have other tasks must catch up on. but will worry about those when get 1st project done. will work for 15 for motivation, then get coffee.
This planning for today the night before really has some merit to it: I woke up knowing what was on my list and it made a HUGE difference in my willingness: I went on automatic and had thought through how much time things should take, and have been pretty much on schedule, perhaps 15 minutes late. I need to rearrange things a bit, but all things considered, if I don't sit down too much, might keep up with my plan
up by 7:30 bed,1st meds,shower,swish and wash,laundry switch,put away dishes,prepare breakfast, 2nd meds.phone meeting 8:30-9:00up to here complete. I am going to switch my walk to walk with my friend and run the errands by car after my check in at 11:30. So next will deal with phone meeting, prepping the chicken, and fold some laundry. I didn't get much sleep last night and am struggling with that, but otherwise feel decent. My son is home sick today, so I will need to see if I can go to work, but I think I may be feeling like I wanna play hookie, so have to watch that.

11:45-12:30 errands:pharmacy for melatonin, vacuum bags, laundry stick,switch laundry,

The evening began well, but I puttered out: I met my goal of having cleaned all of the dinner dishes before bed. I got waylaid by a phone call from a good friend and I am beginning to see how much time that those phone calls can take if I don't get up and move during them. Then I started shopping on bradsdeals.com and then went into farmville and that's all she wrote, as they say. However, I did much better than usual having a plan and although it is late I would like to put together a brief plan for tomorrow.
up by 7:30, bed, 1st meds, shower, swish and wash. 1st load of laundry, make breakfast, 2nd meds by 8:30.
8:30 phone check in. meal plan, shift laundry, begin paperwork. MIT that I did not do today was to print out the transactions I need for taxes. That is the MIT for tomorrow. I will be damned if I don't have them finished by Saturday!
Tomorrow I will help a friend and get a walk in. 1 phone errand - set up dental appointment. Check in with pharmacist on other medication coverage if I have time. dust, vacuum. Must be at the meeting by 6:30 to greet this month, so dinner should be cooked early. Gnochi with lemon artichoke pesto and arugula salad. Grill portabella mushrooms. But I digress.
For tonight, I am grateful for this fellowship, for new friends, for willingness which seems to grow the longer I stay in program. For family who is visiting. For my children's sense of humor, which helps keep me sane.
I saw you in chat last night. I've not done a sponsorship yet, so I don't know exactly what is needed. I'm sure someone else can explain. In the meantime, I suggest writing a little 1-2 paragraph greeting in the Introductions thread, explaining what you're looking for, what you're challenges are, etc.
There is a great group of people here. We're all very supportive. So I'm sure that you'll find your energy will rise by coming here every day. I suggest using this Check-In thread as others do every day.
Best wishes to you! Have a good week!

I had a wake-up call today: A client for whom I like working and who clearly values my work gave me a very firm -- but completely professional -- tongue-lashing because of too many blown deadlines and too little communication.
Also gave me another chance.
I don't want to blow it.
---
Because of my evening shift, P/T job, I didn't get out of bed until around 7 this morning, instead of the usual 5:30-6 or so.
On the plus side, I'm showered and dressed and I've had breakfast.
On the minus side, I got little done yesterday.
Tasks:
1) Project PQE: Immediately, get phone interview to fill in blanks. Plus finish editing raw copy.
2) Project MR
3) Get my task list re-organized. But that can wait, I think, because it's a job that could easily distract me.
Remembering: Put my recreational surfing time in a time slot for later.

MITs for today are:
*A bunch of emails: CE, GL, IA, BO, AR, NP, class questions (will do this after dinner/laundry)
*Buy plane tickets
*Order more HU (will do this soon)
*Cooking+laundry for the week
*Finish GOslim analysis of VAD data (have made very good progress on this)
*Work on presentation 1 hr(working on this now)
Other tasks:
*Help friend w/ bike
*Check on mice, tag/tail
*Analyze rt data and add to presentation (will do this soon)
OK, working on GOslim analysis now. Before lab mtg, I'd like to (if possible) get GOslim categories written out to a GSEA-formatted file.
Working from home today. Hubby has the day off and the roofers are coming by. I'm thinking I should probably have gone into the office today
But regardless I'm off to a good start. The roofers are already here, they are just doing an estimate today so hopefully they'll be outta here soon and I'm hoping hubby will play golf or SOMETHING to get him outta my hair! haha, I don't mind him being here but he keeps interrupting me. I'm fixin' to do what I do at the office, put my headphones on and blast the music.
I've been to the gym, changed the cat litter (for the roofer lol), and instead of sitting around in my sweaty gym clothes I have already cleaned up and gotten dressed in my work-at-home clothes (also for the roofer). Maybe the roofer needs to come every day
Making todo list now. My speech yesterday was on productivity and I'm really on a productivity high so it's a good day to get some work done.

"Bless the present. Trust yourself. Expect the best." --Steve Nobel
Hi all! I'm amazed at how early y'all are up and about (or maybe some of you aren't in the US). Anyway, this is early for me. I got up about an hour and a half ago and have made some good progress on this paper since then; I found myself wanting to wander and thought I'd pre-empt it by checking in!
Finished everything about five hours ago, with enough time to get back to my dorm and drop off everything before dinner. The paper was a bit short but I'm excited to be done! I was so grateful for all your support. Thanks, everyone! :)
.. and I don't think I'm going to finish it. I'm feeling terrible. This seems to happen a lot when I stop working on something for a while—it's less that I feel guilty for not being done than for having a period of not working on the project (this time, because I was at a fun but mandatory meeting for something else). It's that aching in my chest where I just know I've let someone down, maybe myself, maybe my professor or my classmates. I think this is part of the reason I procrastinate: whenever I'm writing a big paper, it becomes my life, which is a big and scary change—but I forget that that's only because I always leave it until the last minute.
So I need to retreat a little bit. Accept that I might not get it done in time. Try to do it anyway. Remember that I will be loved and accepted even if I don't succeed at this one thing as fast as I wanted to.
What I want more than anything right now is to have something to hand in. And I have the lit review part almost done. So now I want to pull that all together. Maybe printing it out and looking at it on paper will help—I think I'll try that.
Maybe I can do it after all. that hope is keeping me working hard, anyway. The first half of my paper is basically together. ... But I think I'm more than halfway done, since that was the hard part--the rest is just explaining the experiment I've been designing for months. I can do this! Finish wrapping up this part, and then take a break to drop by a picnic and get some food. :)
Picnic was nice. I have made good progress since then -- completely wrote up my proposal for my experiment. Left to do:
- title
- references Mostly done.
- appendix
- brief conclusion
- go through and add a couple citations where necessary
New goal: finish by 7:10 so I can run back to my dorm before dinner and drop off books/computer.
Hi all I am here today but I am not sure I will make it through the day with my sanity in tack. My back is up againest the wall with deadlines. I am happy to so that I have only had control of one of the deadlines the other 3 deadlines are stressful because of others procrastination. Here goes. In addtions to routine stuff
I've wasted the last 2 hours. bad. now its lunchtime. so after lunch (3/4h - extended to 2h. bad.) I will
- write half a page using my notes from yesterday (trying to do it w/in 1h - well, that was obviously not very realistic... but at least I got it done!).
When I've finished I'll think about what comes next. otherwise I might freak out and not do anything ;)
Apart from that anytime today - but not after lunch when I'm supposed to write! - I will do some simple things, just for the feeling of success :) (which I'd otherwise put off again, the way I know myself)
I started my day early today (05:45) and began my work day at 06:30, which kicks butt I must say. Starting that early always makes me energized and focused because I know I will have time for both work AND play during the day. I highly recommend it.
Done:
Up prayer and reflection
Checked emails
Started work on sorting and cleaning kitchen cupboards and shelves
Todo:
Continue work in kitchen
Clean and sort files and junk in book shelves in bedsit
Sort new payment of rent - urgentish
Bath and wash hair and personal care
Done:
All except the bath bit including spending an hour sorting a simple change in a standing order.
I've also sorted and chucked out a load more stuff
Todo:
Rest and recover composure
A little more tidying up
Post the letter to the bank - don't need to but if I don't I might forget and the job is finished if I do.
Bath and all that stuff...
I've been in a major slump for quite some time and need to get out... I think one of the big factors is that I haven't been using PA. Not seeking help is usually a sign that I kind of want the problem right now. I've identified my major 'problem' points and some solutions:
Internet addiction - no recreational Internet use (keeping up with friends is ok, surfing for hours just to numb my brain is not) and no keeping up with friends during work hours either.
Trouble getting out of bed - I keep running downstairs to switch off my second alarm, then going back upstairs to dress and going back to sleep! Keep some clothing downstairs, food rewards, celebrate on the forum when I manage to get up and stay up
Trouble getting out of the bathroom (!) - NO Reading, count breaths and pray! Argh, this is basic but never mind!
Prosick Check in 11:45 am - Check out 2:30 am

Hi all! I'm amazed at how early y'all are up and about (or maybe some of you aren't in the US). Anyway, this is early for me. I got up about an hour and a half ago and have made some good progress on this paper since then; I found myself wanting to wander and thought I'd pre-empt it by checking in!

lunch(3/4h - extended to 2h. bad.) I will-
write half a page using my notes from yesterday(trying to do it w/in 1h - well, that was obviously not very realistic... but at least I got it done!).When I've finished I'll think about what comes next. otherwise I might freak out and not do anything ;)
Apart from that anytime today - but not after lunch when I'm supposed to write! - I will do some simple things, just for the feeling of success :) (which I'd otherwise put off again, the way I know myself)
-
write an email to S. (due last Fri) - afternoon
-
text L.-
phone A.list for tomorrow
- check in at about 10 am
- check DM06, BD06, LOW04, BD09, DS06 & finish work on 1st part of paragraph 'global HSM' (10-11.30)
- start paragraph 'dist' (inc gs, dem size, regs) (12-12.30)
- once I've got that far by noon: think about what comes next
other:
- scan book & return (anytime when I feel I need to do something else)
- cancel HSS (afternoon - during job)
- write e-mail to J. (afternoon - during job)

I started my day early today (05:45) and began my work day at 06:30, which kicks butt I must say. Starting that early always makes me energized and focused because I know I will have time for both work AND play during the day. I highly recommend it.
update 1:40 pm ("may the 4th be with you" lol)
Way to go!
You are a productivity dynamo and deserve a gold star. Keep up the good work.
Thank you Helen!
Your encouragement helps alot :)

No tasklist yet, although I did:
Get train to work on time :)
I've been in a major slump for quite some time and need to get out... I think one of the big factors is that I haven't been using PA. Not seeking help is usually a sign that I kind of want the problem right now. I've identified my major 'problem' points and some solutions:
Internet addiction - no recreational Internet use (keeping up with friends is ok, surfing for hours just to numb my brain is not) and no keeping up with friends during work hours either.
Trouble getting out of bed - I keep running downstairs to switch off my second alarm, then going back upstairs to dress and going back to sleep! Keep some clothing downstairs, food rewards, celebrate on the forum when I manage to get up and stay up
Trouble getting out of the bathroom (!) - NO Reading, count breaths and pray! Argh, this is basic but never mind!
Nice to see you again, Lucky-loo!
I'd just been thinking I hadn't seen you in a while!
Thanks for letting us know how you are, and where you're at.
In solidarity - MC
