Kitty 12:51 pm Check In
Late to today's online check-in but did sign on for the 8:30 phone call. Either no one was there or I did something wrong, but it was good for me to get up and do it anyway.
Last night I did not get offline immediately after check-out, which is deadly, and stayed up surfing. Still trying to figure out how to deal with online check-ins, because going online is a problem for me and I try to avoid it when possible. I was also easily distractible as soon as I started to get tired. These are things I will really track during the next couple days to see how my procrastination really operates.

You are doing great ! Keep up the good work. :)
to Kitty re: phone meeting
Kitty,
The Phone meeting is Monday through Friday mornings.
That's why nobody was there Saturday morning.

Another good day that started early. Feeling a little wiped out but so happy. Even rewarded myself with the purchase of several books. In the past three days I have gotten more done than probably the last three weeks. Maybe more than three weeks. The promises are posted on the back of my front door so that every time I see them. They are so, so calming and 100% true when I am continuing my movement forward and not stagnating.
I've decided to take the rest of the evening off starting now and really relax and bask in the glow. There was one thing on the list that I had put there, but I don't feel the least bit regretful about it. I did tons today, and have a couple of lighter days ahead that will allow me to reschedule.
My gratitude for this board and everyone here is overwhelming. Can't believe I finally found something that is working for me. Thank you.
Way To Go Kitty!

Well, yesterday when I got home from work my foot was very painful and swollen. *Sigh* I think today must be a rest day. I'm ready for this stupid foot to be well!
OK, I'm changing my tune here: I am grateful for my general good health and I am happy that my foot is healing nicely. I can alternate some periods of activity with periods of rest today, get a few things done, and maybe go swimming. That's better.
I know I can't handle the grocery store today :( but it's a good opportunity to clean out the freezer and see what I can make with items I have on hand!

I hope you can find ways to enjoy the 'downtime' your foot has obliged you to take and that you heal quickly.
Thanks Helen!
Yes, in some ways it's been a nice little vacation!

OK, most of today will be hanging out with my family, but I have a little time to work this morning.
So far I've had prayer time. The other task I want to work on today is EA's project...finishing comparison and updating wiki. I'll try and get an hour or so of focused work in on this...will work in the chatbox.

Thanks for the threadstarter, Putmynikeson - you ARE doing this right! :)
Sorry I've vanished on you all for ages - had a really bad procrastination phase and various attempts to shake myself out of it didn't work (as I'm sure you've noticed from the random appearances and disappearances!) However, I'm feeling much better today so hopefully I'm back for real this time!
Housemate is out today so I'm going to do some chores, but also take the time to watch a certain film I've been promising myself for the past month... just making a tasklist for the next few hours right now.
Check in

Hey Lucky !
You are really cooking here! :) You have come back from a slump really well. I guess we all have our procrastination hills and troughs. Sometimes I think we have to give ourselves a few troughs. Continual growth and improvement isn't found very often in the natural world, everything there is in cycles.

Happy saturday everyone! Thanks for the starter!
Need to focus a couple of hours so I can go outside for some fun time in the sun later! Don't want to spend another day binge browsing.
Update 7.40 PM
I have now finished all my planned tasks except one - took me almost 9 hours! It's now too late to hang out with friends in the sun, but because I was so diciplined today I will do that the whole day tomorrow instead. And I will reward myself and buy something moderatly expensive first thing when the shops open!!
I like your format
I think I'm going to steal your greyed-out/red Done! format. It looks cheerier than the strikeout format I've been using.
Also, "binge browsing"--love it!
Go ahead!
Good luck on your list! :D
Thanks
I am so digging how that new format makes me feel when I mark something Done!

This morning I am watching a DVD and munching soda bread with taramasalata.
This is my reward for what I will do next which is to paint my living room. When I do this it will be a big breakthrough for me.

Rexroth Update
Done:
DA meeting and presented report which will be discussed in more detail at the next business meeting
Home and letter form hospital which says that the operation was successful and that I almost certainly don't need another and that the lump will probably shrink without interferance. This is very good news.
Also it was sensible for me to wait until I had the surgeons report before writing lots of letters to try to get an operation. There is a difference between putting things off and jumping to conclusions and taking action which is not necessary and which might be harmful.
Todo:
Rest - I have had enough.
Regards Rexroth
Great news!
Wonderful news Rexroth! So pleased to hear it. Doing a happy dance right now for you. :)
Yay!
So happy to hear that the surgery was successful!!! :)
