Thanks for the starter Garu.
Today I have a deadline with my job application so will try working in the chatbox. Apart from exercises and meal break will not try to do anything else and will resist distractions.
I have made a deal with myself that if I can finish before 5 pm I can have the rest of the day off. For some reason this is quite disturbing to me, like I want to use all the time available, right up to the last minute. Maybe scared that if it really doesn't need all day, it shows how inefficient I am with my jobs, and that I really should be/could be doing more . . .
A bit late, but all done with some help from the chat box. Feels great!
Thank you all for this forum.

Hello.
I am recovering from an awful yesterday. I received an email from one of my employers that they received notice that I hadn't paid taxes from 2007- it was local and that he would have to deduct it from my next check. I called and immediately paid. But, here I am trying to look professional, responsible and so on, then this. As if things aren't hard enough at work, I really didn't need them to be notified about my tax issues, as well. Then, I called a client who I thought was very happy with my services and got yelled at for the next 15 min.
Times like these I envy those confined to a small cell day in and day out. And, the way Im going with not paying my taxes I may soon be joining them.
Well, back to cleaning and report writing.

Hope you have a better day today! Sending positive thoughts your way.
Can relate to your situation as I find it very hard to get out from under other's disapproval too, even though 'intellectually' I know it shouldn't matter so much.

"fall down seven times, get up eight" - japanese proverb
katia- 12/2
Last night I didn't get as much done as I would have liked and realized I was burned out and desperately needed to recharge. This morning I got to thinking about that. Energy oscillates naturally, and instead of trying to force it and end up (probably) miserable and even more burned out, perhaps I just try and make sure that the high points are as productive as possible and the low points just essentials. It's a sine curve- I break even, I go above and beyond, I break even, I fall a little short, etc. The key is just to not let sinx=-1 for too long. Or, for that matter sinx=1, since even though it feels great to get a TON done, it's important to not do it so long that I crash hard for an extended period of time. Hopefully that makes sense.
It's a blizzard outside!
So I'm going to see how well I do making up old stuff and THEN see about adding things.

Engaged in some physically damaging escapism behavior this morning that I had not done in ages...Feeling disheartened and therefore prone to give into procrastination.
So today will be a 'take it moment by moment' day. For the next hour I commit to making forward progress on a doable goal, acknowledge the negative feelings that will likely arise, respect them and continue forward at whatever pace I can...
I thank my HP for the existence of this forum.
((((Crazybug))))
Can relate to "physically damaging escapism." Thinking of you today.

thank you hope
Thanks, Hope. I guess upon second reading my statement sounds more drastic than what the immediate consequences would suggest.But it was still a poor decision and one that I must just forgive myself for and move on.
I truly appreciate your kind support. Thank you for being here and I wish you a blessed day.
Going to meditate for a few minutes to regroup and then will make small steps toward positive action.

Good morning, and thanks for performing the service of starting us off this morning Garu.
I'm recovering from some minor surgery yesterday. I'm still a little woozy, but working from home today. I will take it easy today and I think I'll milk it one more day and work from home tomorrow too. I will work in the chat room since I'm home. That really does help me to stay focused!
I am very grateful for this site.

Had another bad night of distractions. Is procrastinating in bed a common occurance? I often find myself watching pointless television or browsing the internet on the mobile to avoid both going to sleep and getting up? It's also tough there because there's nobody but yourself.
Anyway, today's list...
That's pretty much today. I'll come back and cross them off when I do them. Wish me luck!
