Thanks for the starter, chickadee. Today I have to do some think and plan kind of tasks; sometimes these are the hardest. Have set up a meeting for tomorrow with clients re work that is going nowhere fast (due largely to circumstances beyond my control). Yet I have to see if I can make a difference, and I would like to continue to work for them, but there needs to be clear direction agreed upon. Also scared about what else I will be doing if this dries up completely - they have been a major source of work for the past 2 years.
I have started keeping a time log as of yesterday, something I had been wanting to do for some time. I guess it helps me to keep on track but perhaps it could be used in other ways?
Anyone have ideas on using a time log once it's set up and running, I would be interested to hear from you.

Hi and good wishes to everyone for this week!
Already done, so no need to prioritize:

Agnus showing up
I'm feeling like hell because I never checked my calendar this morning and I missed an important meeting with 4 local VIPs that I was supposed to facilitate. I NEVER set up meetings for Monday morning! It's always my time to clean house, putter and plan the week. But a pastor set this one up, and who's gonna argue with a pastor, right? Ack! I have spent the last hour berating myself, crying, freaking out, panicking at the scary implications that I can no longer keep up even with reduced responsibilities, I'm burned out, now it's showing, and soon everyone will know, I'll lose my job, not be able to get J's meds, he will die, and I'll be left alone, aging, demented, with no one to care for me. There, how's that for a scary scenario? Good heavens, don't go near my mind when it's like this - it's NOT a safe place!
J pulled me in off the ledge this time, bless him. I'm a bit calmer now and have already started making the dreaded amends calls. No one's answering, though - guess the meeting is successful and they're continuing without me, which is what will happen, right? I show up and contribute, or the world goes on without me just the same. I am not indispensable, but I can make a difference. God please help me get past this, free from the bondage of self, and available to be helpful again.

A friend of mine calls that "Awfulizing".
How about releasing the guilt,
And reading the wise thread-starter above?
Hugs to you.
AllOfTheAbove, mon. march 19, 10:07 am.
Good morning everyone.
Thanks to Clement for the nice start :).
Yesterday was crazy. A rest day.
I'm worried because I haven't showed up with P nor F.Also, the screen of my laptop definitely looks weird. I think it's going to die soon, so I have to make some backups. I didn't deliver a homework due for yesterday (although I studied a lot for it: a sign of procrastination). I must be strong to not fail with my homeworks in the future.
Today, I will:
- Write in T.
- Do backups.
- Online course.
- That monster.
Fear is only a thought and as a thought you can ignore it.
Feeling pretty good about
Feeling pretty good about the changes I've made over the past week. I have woken up early 3 work days in a row! Today i got up at 6:35, which was about 25 minutes earlier than usual. This gave me enough time to make coffee and do my makeup at home, rather than in the car! Its weird because its actually been pretty easy, rather than a HUGE DEAL!!! I'm really proud of myself. I'm starting to think that there's a "morning person" waiting to get out of me!
I'm reposting my Sunday list, because i didd't get to everything.
Today, I will (Monday)
Sleep in so that you will feel refreshed! You deserve it!
Sort laundry and do three loads - so that you can cut back on mess in guest room, and you need clothes for the week!
organize clean laundry - so clothes will be easy to find next week
finish dishes - to have peace in the kitchen. Great job doing small jobs today!
go to a play at school - to invest in lives of kids and teachers
put trash cans back - to get basement back in order
straighten things that i see need to be straightened - for peace and maintenance
sweep living/dining/kitchen - because i can feel its grimey!
new additions to list* get up at 6:35, take out trash, go to dr., grocery, put together L's gift, take care of some bills, get towels from dryer.
-just do one small thing you've been putting off and see how it feels-

MORNING
ONGOING
- "A procrastinator's work is never done."
Monday...Hazyjane feeling hazy!!!
I have got to spend all day here at Uni working on the presentation I'm meant to give tomorrow. I haven't even really worked out what I want to focus on or what I'm going to say. I have a vague notion, no confidence in myself, I just WISH I'd started making myself do some work at the weekend instead of procrastinating: if I could translate the many many minutes I've accumulated standing in front of the mirror seeking out gray hairs into some useful reading or writing I'd be feeling a lot more positive now. But here I am, and I still haven't done anything useful!!! Frustrating!!!!!!!
I actually feel a bit sick. When I was getting ready to come in earlier, I consoled myself with the thought that I didn't actually HAVE to do it: I could pretend to be sick!!!!
