10.30 am Tuesday
Still struggling. Want to give up. Will write list.
Thank you everyone for your sharing, and the inspiring words.
P.S. Have started my journal work. It did help me go to sleep, but I still read for too long (much better than the night before though).
Back into it
12:50 PM: Struggling to use the new approach (30 minute block on one task, then switch to another, even if first one incomplete). It isn't perfect; perfect would be me suddenly becoming swift and unblocked and cruising through the work seamlessly. However, my intention is to prevent the way, way late cases due to faulty logic causing me to focus only on most urgent tasks and complete them obsessively. Have to get, and keep, moving on all fronts. I would rather be a week late with three tasks than 3 weeks late with one. That outlier is the one that changes the way I am perceived from 'slow and inefficient' to 'slack and irresponsible'.
Goal fro today: 1 PM to 5 PM, 30 minutes per work block, keeping moving, trying to overcome the anxiety caused by not obsessively finishing one at the expense of all the others.
Reasonable progress
Made some progress Monday. Still not caught up, and new work keeps filling my inbox. But, at least I amtrying to chug-chug-chug through it.

What I've learned from running:
fudoshin: day 28: 7:55am
Please do not leave advice. Thank you. Prayers welcome.
This is the 28th day that I have followed through with the following:
I'm making a pledge to quit using the dating site(s) and Facebook for
90 days. I had written this on my 43things account, but I wrote that I
wanted to avoid dating sites for a full six months, so I think 90 days
is reasonable for a dating site. I also have a penchant for looking at
and stalking certain people repeatedly on the dating website and online,
which has prevented me from sanity. Just all out stalking certain
people has been all out crazy; if I'm not stalking one person, it's
another person. During times I've tried to quit the dating site before, I
have visited people's dating profiles, even while not registered on the
dating site. So part of my whole thing with quitting dating sites is
also quitting stalking people's profiles that I've tried to date in the
past. If I accidentally load a dating site, b/c I accidentally clicked
on something obviously that doesn't count. You can hardly hang a cat on
the Internet without hitting a dating site ad. Intention is
everything.
In other words:
exercise for 30 minutes a day: walking, swimming, hiking, biking,
running, jogging, karate, yoga, a dance class. Anything of those for at
least 30 minutes. And nothing else. I can do the running plan, but I
assure myself that each day that I show up to run, I will be okay, if
all I do is ultimately choose to walk. Whatever I feel comfortable with
when I do. That way I don't intimidate myself.

After weekend of hitting passive agressive wall,turning into a procrastination bindge, (one step from shutting down), by not giving up and really focusing on step 12 work, I don't know how but had a productive morning. Together we can do what we can never do alone." Thanks for all 12 step programs and ers.

Have done some things already today:
Still need to:

I am going to have a nap next so I can do more work this afternoon, but also want to start a new routine of journal writing at 10 pm or earlier, to see if this will help with going to sleep earlier, and not getting into addictive reading when I need to sleep.
Thanks to all of you for being here and sharing your lives.
