Journey 9:45 Love not War
Ha! I remember that too Hypatia. I was a pretend hippie back in the day.
Yesterday was an ok day, although I was a bit scatterbrained and forgetful due to being tired. I still feel tired today even after a good night's sleep and a good workout, and I have to work this weekend - but the weekend work will not be nearly as complex as it was orginally supposed to be, so that's good. I know I will be prone to making mistakes today so I will take it slow and double check everything.
My daughter is going home today too and I confess I'm a bit happy to see her go. I miss her but not her messiness lol. I'm used to my house and kitchen staying reasonably neat now and I don't like having to constantly pick up after her or remind her to pick up after herself. I figured she would get better at being neat since she has to clean her own apartment now but, not so much.
I'm in a really foul mood today too so maybe I will make some war not love today haha. I'm about to have 4change's breakfast of champions, diet coke and advil, and make my todo list. I've done 1 MIT already, first thing - and I did start on my todo list yesterday so hopefully I can cut the planning time down a bit today.

Scribbler's TGIF CI 7:44 a.m.
Thanks for getting us going, Hypatia. I pretty much blew it yesterday afternoon after a good start. I'll try to do better today. I'm going to move some of my more urgent and important tasks to the morning. It's good to have some routine tasks early, because it's energizing to check things off. But it can be overdone. We'll see how it goes...

Step backward
Had a crazy busy day Thursday, and didn't meet most of my new objectives.
7/7-7/8: Objectives: Met?
Eliminate unnecessary internet at work: Yes
Time tracking: Yes
Email 4x work/2x personal (@ work): Yes/Yes
Work 12 hours max: No (13 hours)
Daily personal time: No
Sleep 8 hours min: No (7 hours - not toobad, but would still benefit from 8)
Early to rise: Later than Thursday (6:45 AM)
Early to work: Later than Thursday (8:30 AM)
Early putting plan into action: Yes! (9 AM)
So, back at it again; same goals. Hopefully, I can use the weekend to model positive behaviors and avoid falling into a procrastination trap. I know only too well that, without a concerted effort to keep a tight rein I slip into counterproductive, mutually reinforcing patterns on multiple fronts. We'll see.
Back to report.
7/8

Hypatia's check-in
it's 11am on Friday and I have the rest of the day as an office day. This is a dangerous situation for me, as although it's when I can catch up with my paperwork, it also triggers massive procrastination. Experience earlier this week suggests that I do better with a short list of tasks, and then add to them if I've got time, otherwise I just depress myself with my lack of achievement.
