My main goal at this point is to get to bed at a reasonable hour. With that in mind, I will start my bedtime routine now, early as it is. I always dawdle through it anyway.
I went out to dinner with two friends after the meeting tonight, and one of them suggested that I work temp. That's the second time this possibility has come up recently, and I'm starting to think it's an excellent idea. I think I will look into that tomorrow.

download quickbooks course
Print out lesson 1
print out lesson 2

>I goofed off all day very depressed because the new job didn't contact me. I am overwhelmed by the condition of my life and having a pity party.
I totally relate. That's been just where I'm at. Let's see... We could have a pity party together, which is better than one alone but still not that great. Or we could cheer each other up so we feel some hope.
No matter what problems we have, there are always others who have it worse and it's good for me to remember that - stay grateful for what I do have! How 'bout we both make gratitude lists?

Your setting your plan
and working your plan
HOUSERECLAIMER
there's always more
The list of things to-do is endless. It's so easy to focus on what we didn't do rather than what we did do. You did the highest priority stuff, and that's what's important. So congratulations!
yep yep.
Pretty happy with my achievements today - thanks for the encouragement.

The afternoon was slow but I perked up a tad towards the end.
Things I chose to do so far today
- Estimate time (for a task I don't want to do). I'll make it long
- Work breakdown for task (they thought my estimate was too long)
- Call to get dumpster picked up
- Send document updates
- Programming task #2 (the one I started at the beginning of week)
- Talk to credit union
Things I'd like to do today:
- Document user input needed
- start programming new report
pro's CI - 4:20pm
I'm hungry - can't do anything else until I go out and get something to eat. I would like to go outside anyway. I haven't been out much lately.

good!
up and moving, well done. hope you got some good food in you. we had a really pretty day here today.
better late than never?
I'm finally moving, but SO LATE. I forgot I promised a customer to resolve her technical problem today. I also made a promise that I'm breaking to the people who hired me to so some technical writing. I was supposed to have started on it last Friday. I'm pretty sure that breaking commitments does not follow the ethical guidelines of ANY religious tradition. :(

I don't know what to do with myself. Breakfast started off okay, but then after I finished eating I just continued to sit here, surfing the Web for books and information about Buddhism.
You can restart your day at any point, right? I'm restarting now. I lost five hours or so, but it's time to get back on the beam (starting with getting dressed).
restarting
I don't see any reason why you can't restart the day at any time... or even restart several times a day!
inquiring minds want to know...
how's it going? are you dressed? what's next on your list?
JUST got dressed
I was about to check in - finally dressed. Next on my list... Make the bed, wash breakfast dishes, pick up the apartment.

I am tired out today! Gotta keep myself moving on this stuff.

rest
It occurs to me that if I could take a one hour nap and work for 3 hours afterwards, I might get more done than if I spent the next 4 hours trying to work in a complete daze. Too bad the nap isn't really an option.

almost deletable folder
I thought I was the only one that did that! I have a corner on my desk for papers I am done with but not ready to get rid of yet. It's getting pretty deep... probably time to deal with it.
comes in handy!
For me it's a folder in my work and personal email. It's good for the "I probably don't need this but I should wait a couple of days" stuff.

Feel like I've been running in place all week. I'm working hard and I'm getting tired but not going anywhere. At least I'm getting a workout :P
