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.

Journey 8 am
Happy Thursday! I am working from home again today thanks to the sore foot. It is definitely getting better but I am still not up to going to the gym. I am planning to swim Saturday; that should be ok. Maybe by Monday I'll be up to riding the bike or something that's easy on the foot. You know it feels like a vacation, sleeping until 6 or 7 every morning and working in my pjs all day. I'm getting a lot of work done because anything else I want to do requres standing up and/or walking lol. But I'm getting restless, I'm ready to get back to the gym.
Anyway, I just checked email and calendar and now I'm going to get dressed and make my todo list for the day.

Prayer and MeditationEatShowerBrush TeethGet dressedDrive to schoolCompletely blew this day so far did not take final or complete paper. Maybe the consequences will motivate me to act differently in the future. It's like I am throwing my whole life away and I don't seem to care. And if I don't care who should?
Being here means you do care about yourself
Procrastination robs us of our lives. And if we didn't really care about it, we wouldn't feel guilty or angry at ourselves, and we wouldn't have come here. We'd all go blindly through life without recognizing that we even have a problem, and without doing anything to fix it.
I always heard the cliche that "recognizing you have a problem is the most important part of fixing it," and thought it was stupid. I'm beginning to figure out what that really means now. And you aren't the only person who cares about you--you have a lot of other people thinking about you and sending you prayers. Keep trying.
Thanks Helen.
Thanks Helen.
keep fighting!
Hi Stefinle,
sorry to hear that! i know this feeling too well. but you've only failed when you've given up. keep up the fight! you're not alone! for the time i'm here i've found that this last thing is what mattered most for me so far. like you said 'if i don't care who should' - but due to p. somehow i too often didn't seem to care when i should have, no matter what the consequences were. being here and out of this isolation really helps me to care about myself. i hope it'll do the same for you!
thanks tuffl
Tuffl,
Thanks! That it is a big difference as you said"out of the isolation". That's big stuff for me. Last couple of weeks of coming to PA have made some difference.
