Didn't make it here, yesterday, but had a reasonably productive day. And now I'm back.

TODAY, I will:

  • check SR
  • post this at PA
  • check balance mindmap (wip)

  • attend 10:00 meeting
  • follow up re wiki additions from 1:1
  • pursue answers to SVN Qs from 1:1 (wip)
  • pursue answers to laptop Qs from 1:1

  • take required course (wip: modules 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, and 7)
  • check what else is due for work, today; do

  • shower & wash my hair
  • unload/load dishwasher (significant progress)
  • wash pan, cook soup (and maybe listen to Tuchman?)

  • do 15min of Qi Gong
  • use the Balancer (did just a bit)
  •  take bedtime Rx

I prefer to accomplish these, too:

  • eat oatmeal
  • make progress with spec reading
  • set up SVN directory for new version

  • start rough-drafting changes
  • think about weekend priorities
  • see if C of C replay is available

  • do a warm load of laundry
  • pay & mail bill
  • cook rhubarb

  • think re &/or experiment w/ dance solo
  • put mandala graphic on cell phone
  •  balance checkbook
  • bed w/ lights, sound off by 11:00

Best wishes for your day!

Must finish BW project TODAY!

Biggest procrastination problem right now is exercise - I know I should, I feel better when I do but I just can't WON'T do it.  I recognize it is my choice, my free will - what is the matter with me!

MUST DO > Go for a walk at lunch.

about exercising

wrkinprogrss - 12 Aug 2011 - 12:42pm

Hi, TJ,

I've found that I exercise more regularly if:

a) I choose kinds of exercise that I actually enjoy doing (dance and Qi Gong, for me)

b) I sign up for and attend weekly classes in those kinds of exercise

c) I set myself a SMALL daily exercise goal inbetween class days. Currently, I try to do about 15 minutes of Qi Gong exercises every day--that's something I can do at home without special preparation, even if it's already bedtime.

Good luck with finding exercise strategies that work for you!

wrkinprogrss

Thanks for the suggestions!

TJinWA - 12 Aug 2011 - 8:21pm

I will keep trying - the SMALL daily exercise goal is probably my best bet at this point.  I did not go for a walk at lunch - day got eaten up by out of my control issues - i.e., the boss and missing staff still.

Hope everyone has a good weekend.
