Finding a way CI
11.05 am Wednesday 11th
Thanks for the great starter, Lucky.
I am not doing too well at all and not sure why. Kind of depressed, feeling stuck, not getting my work done. Seem to have lost faith in myself.
I will look at my lists and maybe try the chat room.
Thank you all for being here.

One of those days where I was working , contacted business issues, but does not "seem" like I did anything. Need to write what I "did do" and use chat room as well as lighten up.
grateful to be here and share feelings.

Hi and good wishes to all and thanks to Lucky for the thread-starting macro--it made me laugh!

get something to eat
shower, etc
load dishwasher (good enough for now)
do 15 minutes Qi Gong
email check-in buddy
use balancer
listen to SFI podcast
Made Progress on Tuesday, 01/10/12:
prioritize
check in and bookend at P.A.
do at least 8 15-or-more-minute bursts of job work (real bursts, today, not longer burst-equivalents) (did 2 bursts, but then binged on fiction)
Did Not Do on Tuesday, 01/10/12:
water/weed toward planting tulips?
cook spinach (rice bars)!
make 10 minutes of progress on creating Tai Chi movements spreadsheet and/or updating voice memo prompts?

Went to lab mtg this morning, had lunch, asked about funding, did a little work organizing slides, but basically today I've been having a lot of trouble with focus.
So, I'm going to start with a very short list of tasks:
*
Announce girls group, plan/pray and shop (will do this soon)*
W8 orders and email*
Check expts and c.f.*
Email about YG*
Get probes*Look at slides
*Sort out p15 slides
*Look through 500 entries for B6 correct age
*Submit for hist
OK, that's a reasonable start. I can do that. Starting by email about YG, announcing girls group, getting probes, sorting out p15 slides, and looking through first 100 entries

I never noticed!
Be confident. Stay focused. One thing at a time.
Steppin check in
Thanks to Lucky for starting the thread. December sure is early this year;)
I'll write a thing, do it and cross it off, to see if that works better:
Take cat nap,20 min. max! Overslept some, but I'm feeling very rested and ready to get stuff done.HymnsConcert pieceTouch up om E's audition songsPreludeShowerThis strategy worked pretty well!
Journey 9:30
Happy Tuesday! I am working from home today. I've been quite productive for the past couple of days so let's see if we can continue that with the added distractions when working from home.
I have read my email, reviewed my calendar, exercised (including 2nd Shiva Nata lesson! Thanks Lucky) (Shiva Nata is weird stuff. . . it's quite a mental workout).
Now I'll have some breakfast, get dressed, and make my todo list for the rest of the day. I am the duty pager person this week so I know I have some work orders to take care of, then I'll get back to work on RH project.
