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.

Midway through the day I realized I had packed too much into my schedule, but instead of giving in I switched to the strategy described in this article: http://procrastinators-anonymous.org/node/14
I basically reduced the amount of time I worked on each task, even if it meant, I couldn't finish all of them. It definitely feels way better now, than had I just surrendered to the failure of not doing what I set out to do.
Peace and thanks for letting me share!

Journey 9:30 thanks!
Thanks for letting me vent, moan, and complain the last couple of days. I did leave early yesterday and I was in bed asleep before 8 pm. I slept like a rock for 10 hours and I feel quite refreshed today. Today I need to finish up two last items on the big project install, follow up on a couple of open issues discovered in preliminary testing, and start on the truckload of paperwork required to put it into the test systems and then into production. If I have time today, it is time to review my project list and see what I need to do to catch up on other projects that I have been ignoring during the big push for the big project.
Avoiding the truth consumes great effort and energy. - Jim Loehr
