Thanks for the starter, max.
Really not doing well at all so far today, have wasted 2+ hours this morning. Resisted posting or starting earlier and instead played games and shopped online :(.
Trying to recover the day without beating myself up. I think I am having difficulty with some work decisions and trying to avoid that. I will pray for guidance, then make a schedule from my lists.

Hi, All, and good wishes for your day! Angus, I like your idea of putting Breathe in your to-do list!
My list for today is as follows:
Thought to continue trying out: TODAY, I CHOOSE TO CONCENTRATE ON IMPROVING AND LEARNING ABOUT REALITY.
(After: I reminded myself of this, several times, but I didn't really commit to living out the choice, and quite a bit of my attention did go toward fiction--not so good.)
Done on Monday, 01/09/12:
prioritize
get something to eat
check if Rx is ready (nope), nudge MD to approve renewal if not
email check-in buddy
shower, etc
run dishwasher
do at least 7 bursts of job work incl submit timecard (equivalent of 7 15-minute bursts done, including timecard--actually 4 longer work segments)
make drugstore shopping list
re-check if Rx is ready
get p-rom and claritin and Rx
15 minutes Qi Gong
take bedtime Rx
Made Some Progress on Monday, 01/09/12:
check in and bookend at P.A. (intermittantly)
use balancer (used once, briefly, before bed)
Did Not Do on Monday, 01/09/12:
water/weed toward planting tulips?
cook spinach (rice bars)?
continue creating Tai Chi movements spreadsheet and/or updating voice memo prompts

late start, but it was deliberate, not distracted. May not have been the right choice, but i think i can live with the consequences.
but i am called on at work, so i have to get to that. A bit of a daunting task, but once i get into it i believe i will be able to do it.
Speaking of "believe"... Go Tim Tebow!

Me too. It's really not helping my situation. Suddenly hours are wasted!
fascinating, steppin
this has happened to me. i didnt know there was a term for it:
in fact, my recent more consistent posting here i think is due to the clearing of said pink cloud. I believe i'm settling in to my recovery, not thinking as much that i can do it nor that i'm "cured".

Had an excellent day yesterday and completed all the items on my list including a family function.
Today, I've been to the gym, read email, made my todo list, and conferred with the Brilliant Intimidating Coworker about Project RH. I was stuck on Friday so she is going to figure out what to do about the issue I had, and then turn it back over to me *whew*. She is awesome.
Now make agenda for noon meeting. I'll check back if I get stuck, otherwise have a productive and enjoyable day everyone.

Good morning, world! Apparently, ignoring my need to be here all these months has caught up with me again, and my life is once again quite unmanageable. My old all-nighter trick won't work anymore (I fall asleep against my will these days) so I will have to face consequences. ugh! Going to eat breakfast and make a plan for the day.
Back at 9:00am and stuff is already hitting the fan - two managers are asking for stuff due last Friday and I am scrambling. Man, I hate this disease. God please help me prioritize my panic!

Edit: Was feeling down because of i failed music lesson, and chose to take a little nap. That nap lasted 3 hours, omg! That means I'll have to edit my to do list:

Prelude
Household:
Do the dishes
Special tasks:
Not log on to T website.
Go to bed before midnight.
Yesterday I had a good experience with piano practice, as I worked through my resistance, actually got quite motivated at last and made some fine progress. But then I got too cocky at home and thought that I could easily turn on my computer, because 'I could handle it'. Well, you can guess the rest. I guess I reached the ' pink cloud' in my addiction process, where stay off your addiction for a short while, and the new experience makes you feel like a world champion. It's makes it easy to over estimate ones ability to stay off.
