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.
Procrastination is the grave in which opportunity is buried.
late arrival spring equinox!
Thanks movingalong for the fab starter :)
I've been finding it really difficult to focus lately, but have a theory as to why: it's my first year anniversary of ditching the booze etc!! Goodness gracious me, an entire year, and apparently one can feel a bit out-of-sorts on your 'birthday'. I don't know why. Probably a sort of reaction.
Anyway, I have left out my yoga practice the last three mornings in a row as well, and have procrastinated like mad over my seminar presentation, which I now have to give on Thursday and which I am re-titling to make it less scary: not a 'presentation', a 'pearl of wisdom'...
In that spirit, I will make a very short list for the rest of this evening (about one hour):
Commit to checking in tomorrow morning AND checking out as well.
not a single thing! But for bursting in the chatbox...
...I would have done nothing at all!
Ok, I did some more research about arts council funding. That was all really. I have to sort myself out!!!!!
As I said to someone earlier, if I'd done just half an hour's reading a day every day since my course began I'd be laughing now!!! Grrrrrr!!!!!!

Hi everyone! Been in classes all day- just hanging out in the computer lab waiting for the bus to my car. Figured I'd make a list!
I did NOT get my paper done last night, but I did do more with it than the past 10 days. I am also excited I got everything else off my list. Rich text is weird btw, but I want the smileys everyone is using!
I did not do very well on my Optics midterm :( But the kinda good news is that almost 30% of the class did worse than I did.
Things to do this evening:
-Finish the damn paper
-Assignment 2 self assessment
-Physics Lab #4-Discuss summer plans
-Email Dr. Brown
-Email Greg
-Paper tasks
-Pick out quotes consalvo
-Read other secondary sources
-pick out quotes bainbridge
-Polish what is written now
-Add sources
-Work on 4th/5th body paragraphs
-Revise conclusions
-Final revision
