I made this list several hours ago, but thought I'd better not sit down at the computer until I'd done some parts of it...

Today, I will:

• cook artichokes
• shower
• put $ in wallet
• get fruits & vegies from farmer's market

• post this at PA
• check in at SR
• check my balance mindmap (wip)
• file 6 bugs (filed 1, closed 1 as not needing filing, may have bit off too much with this goal)

• clear the kitchen sink or make 2 hrs of kitchen progress, whichever comes first
•  do 15 minutes of Qi Gong
• use the Balancer
• take bedtime Rx

To improve my integrity and optimize job and landlord relationships, I will postpone spoken word listening and my next audio purchase or podfic download until after I've filed at least 6 bugs. (wip: adhered to the letter, if not the spirit)

I will postpone visual reading of fiction (online or printed) until after I've filed all 12 remaining bugs and told my landlord about the slow water heater leak. (wip: adhered to the letter, if not the spirit)

I would like to accomplish some of these things, too:

• pay & mail bills
• do a load of dark laundry
• take car to car wash (just a did short high-powered rinse, but that's an improvement)

• do a Mood Log exercise or some other recovery-oriented activity
• journal re dance solo open issues
• brainstorm: any offers for K?

• lighten best photos for R, burn CD
• send directions to J
• start zine
• be in bed with lights and sound off by 23:30

Ok, time to do this. I've procrastinated far too long and almost haven't used this site since I joined it.

I plan to keep things pretty anonymous, but I will still try to keep track of the number of tasks I complete each day.

Now, in the next 15 minutes:

1) Create public google calendar to log number of tasks completed each day.

2) Log into remember the milk .

3) Finish configuring new firefox profile with RTM, procrastinators-anonymous and google calendar as default pages opening at startup.

All tasks completed. :)

Now to get some real tasks done...

My calendar is available here: https://www.google.com/calendar/embed?src=prokrastemulo.gtd%40gmail.com&...

A quick note of thanks to everyone here. You've all helped me over the last couple of years to get through my masters degree. This week, I finally finished the last requirement for my last class (ON TIME). I feel like it's hard for me to feel celebratory, because it did take 2 1/2 years, and was only a 1 year program, and because I failed what was supposed to be my final course in the spring and had to take this new course over the summer to make up for it. But, I'm glad finally to have made it through. 

NOW I HAVE TO GET CRACKING ON FINDING A PLACE TO LIVE. My landlord wants to do a "walk-through" on my apartment, so I have to do a major clean up. 

Things I already did: 

1. Loaded dishwasher

 Things I will do:

1. Make bed
2. Pick up all laundry off floor, spilling out of drawers, hampers and closet
3. Do loads of laundry
4. PACK any currently out of season clothes in plastic bins 
5. PACK UP some Good Will stuff to get rid of
6. See how far into the day that gets me, and make a game plan for the rest of the apartment
