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.
Procrastination is the grave in which opportunity is buried.
Procrastinated away from here!

I'm finding it somewhat helpful to hang out in chat, here, especially when other folks are around and posting. I really like the feeling that I'm actively in the company of people who understand the lure of procrastination but are choosing to get things done! So, THANK YOU to anyone who chatted Friday or yesterday, and to everyone who has made it possible to post and chat at this site! I like today's flower photo, too. :-)

Yesterday's goals looked really good, but it didn't turn out as hoped; that is, I didn't get it done.
Goal 1: Work on Friday presentation 8 x 30 minute blocks Actual: 3 x 30; lot of time spent looking for scattered things I needed to get started on presentation
Goal 2: Work on 8 cases for 30 minutes maximum at a time Actual: 5 cases, and not limited to 30 minutes; slow and inefficient, with lots of worried online checks of weather.com
Goal 3: Leave at 8 PM. Actual: Um, 11:30 PM.
Goal 4: Go to the supermarket, buy a few gallons of water, a couple of
days' worth of nonperishable food items to stock the pantry, just in
case. (Tomorrow I also will pack a bag, since I am in a potential
evacuation zone.) Actual: Nope. Really need to do this today. In truth, this is a new situation for me, never having lived near the coast. Not even sure at this point what the storm will do. But my worrying skills always exceed my preparation skills, which adds to my worrying rather than to my preparation.
Goal 5: Personal time 9 to 11 PM. Actual: More like midnight to 2 AM.
Goal 6: To bed at 11 PM. Actual: 2 AM
So, today is another day. And sometimes things work better on the second try. It's my personal version of the movie, "Groundhog Day".
Goal 1: Work on Friday presentation 8 x 30 minute blocks
Goal 2: Work on 8 cases for 30 minutes maximum at a time
Goal 3: Leave at 8 PM
Goal 4: Go to the supermarket, buy a few gallons of water, a couple of
days' worth of nonperishable food items to stock the pantry, just in
case.
Goal 5: Personal time 9 to 11 PM.
Goal 6: To bed at 11 PM. With our without personal time. I need to sleep! It's Tuesday and I am already tired.
Back to report.

Thanks, studentessa. I'm trying to figure out a way to stop having to post here every day, and instead rely on a daily schedule of tasks prepared for my eyes only in Outlook. I've been doing this daily check-in for over a year, and it's working reasonably well, but I'd like to move on. Of course, if not posting here doesn't work, I'll return to this method. For the moment, all I'm going to do is make sure I do plan carefully using Outlook, while also posting here. Depending on how I feel about that, I'll try skipping a day here and see how it does. For now...
