Procrastinators Anonymous is a fellowship of men and women who share their experience, strength and hope with each other that they may solve their common problem and help others to recover from chronic procrastination.
I'm checking in a little late today, but I was mostly out of the house at a long meeting this morning and then running errands, picking up kids from school, etc.
Right now I need to:
( ) write a summary of this morning's meeting and email it to all participants
I feel resistance, but this needs to be done NOW. So, on to it.
**Waves hello to all, with good wishes but a weary and frightened spirit**

Feeling positive today. This week I have made progress on some things that I had procrastinated on for months. I am grateful for finding this place to show up every day.
To do:
Shower, breakfast, get dressed by 8
OF call at 8
6*20 research th outline
20 min admin burst: stug

If I get stuck on the big tasks, I will make shorter bursts and use breaks to:
I actually got up on time today and was at work at a reasonable hour. Yay! It's been a little while since I'd managed that.
This week I've had a tough time, so I'll try to keep my list manageable. (I've gotten through about 1 day's worth of work in the last 3 days, yikes.)
Luckily, I have a whole day to focus today, no meetings or anything.
Top priority is to finish this stupid control thing. If that's all I get done today, the day is a success.
( (Yay! today is a success!)
Next priority is checking on expts (working on this now), doing geno (working on this now), and organizing slides/doing photo (will do this soon).
I also want to do some small admin tasks (donation,credit card, letter (did my part on the letter, admin needs to get back to me so this won't get done until tmrw), deposit check, cook zucchini and onions).
If by some miracle I get through all that, I can always add more, but I think that's more than enough to start.
Peace to you lennon and to everyone
Started a bit late, tired but in good heart and getting on
Emotionally I am getting used to the fact that I don't need an operation that I can start training again and that I am better from an URTI and though I am tired I can gradually get my life in order again.

Up prayer and reflection
Checked emails, posts and phone messages
Some work on finance admin
Todo:
x Continuue work on finance admin - I thought it was in disorder and it is not but I need to keep records up to date which I am doing - much is now in good order and I should have no unexpected bills and I know where most things are
x Check a few bits from above - I had returned some trainers and need to find the response as it is a long time since I sent them - found and email sent
Contact friend regarding fitting table in his car - I have contact with other friend with info on times for delivery
Finish PM reply
x Post if any and keep checking emails - all done
As it is International Women's Day spend some time reflection on all the positive relations I have had with women and what I have learned.
x Take sufficient rest - I am not being lazy I am very tired - I fell down for no reason I know, a bit like a faint, so I am taking it easy
Done above as * and a little of the others. Also
