Waking Up to Truth
Our illusions were tied to our compulsive procrastination behavior. Abstaining from the behavior makes it possible for us to let go of our illusions. It is the Higher Power that leads us into the truth, which penetrates and dispels illusions.
Working the Steps, reading the PA literature, and talking with other members prepares us to receive new truth. Our Higher Power gives us insights, sometimes-in quick flashes of perception and sometimes slowly over a long period of time. The experience of discovery is one of the most rewarding facets of our program. It is an ongoing process, since we continue to grow and become aware of new truth.
Too much procrastination kept us in a fog. Now we are recovering from the emotional dependency on procrastinating to avoid feeling pain and anxiety. We may also be recovering from the physical effects of our compulsive procrastination in not getting enough sleep and not taking care of ourselves. In the process, we wake up to more and more truth about others, our Higher Power, and ourselves.
May I live by the truth that You reveal.
Adapted From Food for Thought: Daily Meditations
P.A. Thought for the Day
A better way than judging people is to look for all the good in them. If you look hard enough and long enough, you ought to be able to find some good in every person. In P.A. I learned that my job was to try to bring out the good, not criticize the bad. Every procrastinator is used to being judged and criticized. That has never helped anyone to stop procrastinating. In P.A. we tell people they can change. We try to bring out the best in them. We encourage their good points and ignore their bad points. People are not converted by criticism. Do I look for the good in people?

Journey 10 am curses, late again
I left 15 minutes earlier this morning but was still late because traffic was even worse than usual. Oh well, I will continue to work on getting up earlier, getting to the gym earlier, and getting to work earlier. On the bright side I had a great workout, got lots of rest over the weekend, and I'm feeling pretty awesome this morning.
I'm going to fill up my water bottle, finish preparing for the noon meeting, and then make my todo list for the rest of the day. I've read my email and checked my calendar already - the noon meeting is my only appointment.
I'll check back if I get stuck, otherwise, have a productive and enjoyable day everyone! Don't forget to contribute - I think our web server bill comes due in December.

My day today
Led 2:30 pm PA meeting yesterday. Felt very good after I finished as I helped others. Posted my procrastination article on "miscellaneous" here. I read the article again which made me think more about my issues and how I need to solve them.
Was at desk this morning before 9 am making phone calls.
Need valid ID for job. Then they tell me that I need ID to get ID. I was born here!
The woman I spoke to at the government wasn't very helpful. The man was. The difference is the woman had attitude big time! She has a job but not me.
5 pm update - Government sent me on a wild goose chase to go to different ID offices. I have to wait 4 weeks to get ID and have to turn down a job because they can't do a criminal records check without proper ID. God damn government! Can't help me when I'm down.
Job interview @ 2:30 pm.Vic 11/14/11
Show up, suit up, look up (done).
"I don't have to control what is around me because I am in control of HOW I perceive my life and the people around me." olc
I am not where I want to be but I am not where I was, I need to remember to stay humble and grateful for progress, do what works.
Thanks for being here.

Hypatia's check-in
Monday morning and I've got an unexpected free session at work. My diary is in a total muddle, and the only thing that has saved me is that my colleague has procrastinated as much as I have! I've got a week's annual leave next week, so I want at least to have things reasonably under control by the end of this week. One thing I found last week, putting times in my check-in is that I always underestimate how long everything takes. So here goes......
