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.
To improve my personal integrity and job performance, I will:
Do at least 4.25 hours of job work, including filing at least 3 bugs
Make significant progress on listing, prioritizing, and scheduling upcoming tasks
Update my status spreadsheet
Send weekly status reports to my manager and project lead (weekly report to manager and shorter-term report to project lead)
Make progress toward release note drafts
To deal with personal life logistics, I will:
Do at least 5 mini-tasks toward dealing with water heater leak (more like micro-tasks than mini-tasks, but did something!)
To maintain or improve my physical and emotional health, I will:
Use the Balancer (did some--say, 1/3 credit)
Attend dance class
Do 15 minutes of Qi Gong
To improve my overall time use, I will:
Postpone recreational computer & internet use until after doing:
At least 4.25 hrs of job work
At least 5 water heater mini-step (avoided recreational computer and internet use, as I didn't get these prerequisites done by 23:15)
Start to move towards bed at 23:15 or when I arrive home from dance class--no computer, audio, or recreational reading after this time (nope--plenty of late-night audio and print reading, once again, and another late bedtime)
For EXTRA CREDIT, I may also be glad to:
Do a Burns Mood Log exercise or another recovery exercise
Unload the dishwasher
Make progress with reading functional specs for job
Eat fresh stone fruit
Cook artichokes
Further catch up my cell phone calendar
Research 8/1 personal email system changes
Research &/or sign up for new neighborhood email list
Really late starting today (mostly b/c I was icing labmate's cake this morning and that ended up taking a while).
For today I need to:
*Finish planning hyb. (have made good progress on this--figured out good + controls for RARg)
*Start careful data review (confirm top-100 list, check p6 data #s) (have started)
*Check plugs, setup (will do this soon)

*Finish cleaning fridges
*Update records

*Meiosis analysis

Wow today was a disaster. Started a number of things, but barely finished anything on my list. For tomorrow, I need to use the tools to keep my focus, and need to finish one thing before starting the next. Glad that tomorrow is a new day!
Thanks for getting us going, Hypatia. That's a nice Eastery-looking bird and egg there. It's not much ilke Easter around here now. I could stand some spring-like weather. I stayed at girlfriend's last night so am starting late. I will skip most prep and try to catch up. Off I go...

Good morning all! I've got an office admin day today - always good for causing procrastination. I've got the filing under contorl and have no excuse for not doing all the client related paperwork, so I'll be in the chatbox quite a lot of the time.
