My friend should be buzzing soon, and then we'll go to the party. I guess I didn't have that productive a morning. Oh well.

spam

pro (not verified) - 11 Nov 2006 - 12:26pm

What is going on with spam lately? In the last few days I've started to get three times the usual amount. I was getting about 170 a day. Now it's more like 500 a day. I used to clear my spam folder every morning (usually). Now I need to clear it 2-3 times a day.

Question: Why did it take me an hour and 10 minutes to make my bed?

Answer: I am dawdling - answering email, playing with other stuff.

transitions

I was reading a book while I ate breakfast and would like to continue sitting here and reading, but that is my downfall. I know I will not feel good if I do this. So I'm pushing myself to finish my wake-up routine, doing nothing else until its done.

pro's first check-in - 9:30am

pro (not verified) - 11 Nov 2006 - 9:31am

I want to get outside today - walk around, get some exercise. I've been indoors too much. I want to get dressed right away and not dawdle the morning away. Let's see if I can manage to do it...

Increasing the quality, decreasing the quantity of things

lark - 11 Nov 2006 - 10:14am

That's a catchy saying I remembered this morning. After turning the heat on in my workshop I'm going to put things away in my house. When the shop is warm, I'll finish the project on the table, call the customer, and put things away. Then I'm going to start the next project. When glue and paint are drying, I'm going to go to my customer's place to give an estimate(so it can be working when I'm not). I need to commit myself just for today to finish something before starting something else (my biggest downfall).

sounds good!

pro (not verified) - 11 Nov 2006 - 10:26am

That's a good saying.

Here's a suggestion for both of us... We might want to put our plans in list form. That way we can move our to-do's to a ta-da list. I've found this helps me to move forward. I'm going to do that now.

almost forgot

pro (not verified) - 11 Nov 2006 - 10:01am

I almost forgot I'm going to a party this afternoon. A friend is going to buzz me at 2pm. So I can't wander too far away. Maybe I'll work on my back taxes until then. I can do my Pilates for some exercise.

Well not such a bad day though a bit bumpy at times.

I opened the file on my legal/admin stuff and didn't do much but sorted out, yet again, what to do. This starting over is a waste of time. I really do need to work on it until it's finished.

Thought a friend was coming to visit so didn't go out. He didn't come and I need to be clearer with arrangements.

Did some extra work on money and accounts and sent email regarding getting rid of stuff.

I've spent too much time on the net without using it to any good purpose.

So now its journal and onto bed.

Thanks for being here.
