Pheasants are heavy and prefer to stay on the ground. But they fly if they have to.  A neighborhood cat chased this guy into a tree. Picture is from last winter.

Let's all try to have a good day today.

Journey noon

Really tired today from working saturday night.   I asked for tomorrow off since I'm working this coming weekend too and I've got to get some rest before then.   I'm having lunch with my daughter at 1, and I'm looking forward to that. 

I've been to the gym, made my todo list, attended a meeting and done a few administrative things, and completed one MIT.  I have four more MITs and I think I can complete one before I leave for lunch.   So here goes.  

Avoiding the truth consumes great effort and energy. - Jim Loehr

Hard to get started

Worked Sunday, which was a struggle, then stayed up late to finish some financial divorce-related paperwork that I have been procrastinating about a few months.  I hate all of this divorce business, which has been forced upon me.  There is no winning, just hoops to be jumped through, which never seem to end. 

Today I am having a hard time getting going.  I am tired and my mood is sullen.  I had a 9 AM phone meeting, and have been procrastinating since 10 AM.  Actually, since 9 AM, since I put it on speaker phone and mindlessly surfed when my part of the meeting was over, half-listening in case my name got called again.

Alright, have to get back on track so I don't lose forward momentum from last week. Too late to meet goal of starting early. Reiterating the rest of my goals for the workday:

1. Eliminate unnecessary internet at work

2. Time tracking

3. Read email 4x work/2x personal (@ work)

4. Work 12 hours max (came in at 8:45 AM, need to leave by 8:45 PM; hopefully earlier because I am fatigued and want to get away from this place. It's funny. I like being here on the weekend because I am alone without distractions, but it makes starting another week that much harder.

Then, for the overnight period, additional goals:

1. Daily personal time

2. Sleep 8 hours minimum

3. Early to rise

4. Early to work

5. Early to get started in AM tomorrow

Back to report.

Scribbler's Blue Monday CI 8:14 a.m.

Nice starter, Rosebud. I'am feeling a little low today. Missing the kids who have been out of town on vacation and worsening financial troubles are weighing on my mind. I didn't get much done over the weekend and have jury duty today. Hopefully, I can get out of it, since I'm self-employed and having to be gone from work is very costly for me. I just generally have a foreboding of something bad happening. We'll see...

Prep

  • Get up at 6 (late on this today)
  • Make bed
  • Exercise
  • Healthy breakfast
  • Coffee, paper
  • Check-ins
  • Go for walk

Morning

  • Update Quicken
  • Pay bills (way overdrawn again.)
  • Do Million11 intvw
  • Do second Million11 intvw

Afternoon

  • Healthy lunch
  • Pack files

If possible:

  • Draft sellbiz
  • Update 5 custom pubs
  • Q - P, E, BN, AW, IQ, AB
  • Send music email
  • File 1 BN (Gplus)
  • Apply for health ins

Bookending...I didn't get picked for jury duty. And I saw how things could be worse: I could be 18 years old and on trial for armed robbery. To make it worse, I could be black and being judged by an all-white jury. Just thinking about it cheers me right up.  

Evening

  • Healthy dinner
  • Rehearse
  • Read, relax
  • Bed by 10:30 or so

Tomorrow

  • Bike ride or run
