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.

Am getting anxious over small and not-so-small things. Lacking clarity on goals. Need to review lists and plan again.
Ok, here is my list for today, trying to make it manageable:
Work
E project - 1 hourdid 2.5 hours on this but nothing on Dring J againHome
email Skatia 12/16
So we are getting Connor's holiday pictures taken tonite :) yay. It's so nice being able to have some fun instead of feeling bad.
Had a humongous headache earlier so me and my buddy took a snooze earlier. But since other people demonstrated that "showing up" is important even if it's late or not as productive, I'll try and do that.

argh, I'm sick. I have a terrible cold. I probably wouldn't have been so sick if I hadn't been run down from the little surgery. But the good news is, I am in a position at work that I can actually take time off to be sick. I've been sick a couple of times this year and just had to work thru it, so I'm glad I can take time to rest and recover. I'm working from home 1/2 day today, to attend some 2011 planning meetings, and after that I'm going back to bed!

So many projects that need to be finished THIS WEEK! Will put one item in front of myself at a time. Give myself plenty of planned health breaks and stay focused.
Let me please find strength this day to focus and make forward progress...
Update 10:54am - made significant progress during one hour session of work. Took my planned 15 minute break. Now I need to define goal for next hour.

clement ci - step 4
vic thanks for the steps reminder. i think i am finally ready to do step 4 (make a searching and fearless moral inventory). i think that means i hadn't fully accepted step 1 (admitted we were powerless over compulsive procrastination). i felt like i had accepted step 1, but it feels like now i really have accepted it. before i think i was saying it, but in the back of my mind really believing that with a little help from PA and maybe even god, i would be able to do it myself.
there's a laid-bare-ness to how i feel today. like i have nothing to lose. i might as well be brutally honest (to myself in a formal way, step 4) about my faults. It's not like they're not there anyway, i might as well be honest.
wasn't there a place her for stepwork?

Good morning,
My sleep hours aren't so terrific -- getting up at 4 am and can't fall back asleep. Hormones I think.
Makes it harder to get work done but I will plow through and just use extra time to get things done. Some big deadlines today. So I'll get started early.
Cancelled a trip out of town with boyfriend to wine country since I feel too far behind. He is as well so at least it's not just me.
Basics: gratitudes, affirmation, reading, prayer, check calendar. All done.
Thank God I checked the calendar as I found out something was due TODAY and not tomorrow.
Lots of work projects in addition to my big volunteer project.
Update:
I will add
for every 1/2 hour of work I get done. So it seems that adding these icons is a little visual goal I like.
8:00 - 8:30 [get all documents out and ready, start drafting ]
8:40 - 9:10 [creat doc, draft first/2nd paragraphs]
9:20 - 9:50 [draft 3rd/4th paragraphs]
9:54 - 10:25 -[draft 5th/6th paragraphs]
10:30 - 11:00 -[draft 7th/8th paragraphs]
11:00 - 11:30 [draft 9th paragraph]

Show up (done)
I try to do step 1,2,3 every day but somehow forget about step 7 and take my control back. I forget "where" my recovery comes from, I only have to keep trying and be willing.
