Trying check in for first time
I will work on BW until 3pm > It's now 5pm and I spent all day on BW
I will work on YE until 4pm
Back to BW until leave 6pm +
Day 1 with PA check in - now I just need to remember to come back later today to report.
5PM spent all day on BW but I did stick to it, no sidetracking to other projects so that's a plus. Will continue with BW until 6pm.

Nice photo--looks to me like a bee-mimicking syrphid fly, rather than an actual bee--this is a beautiful one!
I did a bunch of procrastinating the last couple of days. I think the main problem is that I have some daunting tasks in front of me, and I've been avoiding them rather than breaking them into chunks that are small enough to be accomplished easily. So, formulating and carrying out work micro-bursts is my highest priority for today. Even making the list, here, may go better if I do it in micro-bursts. OK, here goes:
Today, I will:
Attend 9:00 meeting
Check SRPost thisCheck mindmap re what's due this week at workCheck 8/3 and 8/5 notes re any other work items due very soonCheck for meeting invitations to accept and prepare forNote how a work item can be broken into micro-bursts(repeat as needed) (good enough)Do a micro-burst on a work item (repeat as needed)(good enough)Attend therapy groupDo at least 15 minutes of Qi GongUse the BalancerBest wishes for your day!

Good day Everyone,
Reading for day:
No Compromises
Where abstinence is concerned, there can be no compromising. In order to
control our illness, we are willing to go to any lengths to maintain
abstinence. Nothing else is as important to us.
If we have free time and we know that going on certain websites on the Internet is a trigger for procrastination, we can call a friend rather than go on a website which will activate our disease.
We learn what we can handle and what is not for us, and then we act on
that knowledge in every situation. To compromise "just this once" is an
invitation to trouble.
Just as we have a certain way of organizing our day for the maintenance of our recovery, so
we have a way of living based on the principle of rigorous honesty.
Honesty in all of our activities is what makes us strong and effective.
Where the core principles of our program are concerned, we do not
compromise.
By Your grace, may I maintain my integrity in all situations.
Adapted From Food for Thought: Daily Meditations

Journey 6:45 & updates
Happy Hump Day! Yesterday was not the best. I got a good start, then zoned out and wasted most of the morning. I recovered and got a lot done in the afternoon but I want to do much better today. I have done really well working from home lately - most of the time anyway, so I'll get back on track today.
Have a productive and enjoyable day everyone.
Update noon: I'm doing much better at staying on task this morning. I think I was genuinely tired yesterday from the weekend, so I went to bed early and feel much more clearheaded today. However, now I'm facing a task on my big new project and it's hard and scary and I'm avoiding. Checking in to break the spell, and now getting back to work.
