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.
back and bed
I'm in a bad cycle now of going to bed late and getting up late. I'm not tired at a "reasonable" hour, and then I get up frustratingly late and the cycle continues.
It's also freezing in here. I'm realizing that I would be happier heat-wise if I followed NYC housing law for my sleeping hours. It's coldest in here from 10pm to 6am. That's when the heat is off unless it's below 40 degrees.
I stopped at my storage place on the way back from New England and picked up my down quilt. That should make sleeping a lot more comfortable. It's a very warm quilt (though not fully inflated yet - it's been packed).
I'm ready for bed, but feeling too perky to sleep, unfortunately. The way I got out of this before was to start setting my alarm clock for 7am. I hate alarms, but pretty soon I'm going to have to start doing that again.

Todo today
up prayer and reflection
deal with emails
deal with post
shopping for freezer food
cleaning up
sorting old stuff and throwing bits out
cleaning up
trying to organise files on my computer and not succeeding
I've wasted a lot of time today. I've been throwing out old photos etc and feel frustrated and sad with a lot that has happened in my life. Anyway it is better that the stuff is out. Found myself confused muddled and sad and now this evening I feel bored.
The stuff is stuff I have ignored for many years. So that's the procrastintion bit as well as being aware as I look at some of it of the things I thought of doing but never quite got round to doing and now for many of the things it's too late.
so now
prayer and reflection
bed and sleep

keep trying
Don't give up - I think that's the most important thing. Keep trying every day, and eventually it will get done.
Thanks Pro
As long as this site is here I will try to be.
