Back to work today! I've been to the gym, and socialized a little bit in the office catching up with everyone. Now I have about 600 emails to get through before making the rest of my todo list. I feel tired already! Oh well, once I get through today it will seem better, right? Oh, first thing I need to check on the agenda for the noon meeting.

Tidied and sorted desk and it is all clear for the first time in weeks - an advantage of staying in
No plumber today
That is a great idea to rotate subjects so not to get overwhelmed with one at a time. It keeps it interesting, your mind is alert, and you might get more done that way.
I will try that as well with my tasks.
:)
It's great that my idea helped you. Though i couldn't complete my tasks as i happened to fix a problem with my computer. But will try this the next day. Let's know whether it worked for you.
Today I am keen to go, which is a nice change ;). Probably because I just had a 3 day weekend away at a music festival, which was fun. Glad I scheduled that early on!
Also we had a great online PA meeting this morning (well, morning in my time zone) - 12 people attended!
And my colleague has finally forwarded the new project to me, which is a relief as work was getting a bit thin on the ground.
So time to update my weekly list and start work.
Best wishes to everyone for a happy and productive start to the week!

Welcome OnceMore!
You are in the right place. Keep coming back! :)
PS Sorry if I have messed up this post for your own editing. I should have welcomed you in your introduction post, but didn't notice it earlier.
No worries!
It's always great to be welcomed. I've got plenty of other days to cross stuff off! Thanks for the warm wishes. Talk to you soon!
Best,
OnceMore
OnceMore Checking Out
Wow! I had a good day. Could have been better, but not bad at all!
Woke up on time
Didn't immediately turn on fb/reddit/email
Did morning sit
Ate good breakfast
3 minutes late to first class (not a disaster)
Got all the prep needed for afternoon class done; proud of my performance in the project today
Came home, fed myself, no nap
Did sit in afternoon (!)
Did three loads of laundry
Worked out
Got derailed here--took a hot bath to avoid soreness and did very little for next 1.5 hours after that. I think I'll need to avoid baths <sigh>
Did dishes
Got pork started
Did a good 10 minutes on my taxes! Very proud of this one.
Started pork in the slow cooker
Ate a good dinner
My studying was a little scattered and chaotic--didn't really get momentum until 30 min before bedtime. Still, in the context of the day, not bad.
Cleaned closet some
Folded laundry
Now I have one more load to fold, then brush teeth and bed. Fun to see the list of stuff I did today--it feels like a lot.

Thanks lennon
for starting.
Woke up late It is already 9:30 a.m
I am going to rotate my study subjects every 1hour throught the whole day to figure out how much i can accomplish in each subject.
Except for activities such as Yoga, Jogging , Meditation I am going to concentrate only on studying. I will update how much i accomplished later on.
rotating subjects
That is a great idea to rotate subjects so not to get overwhelmed with one at a time. It keeps it interesting, your mind is alert, and you might get more done that way.
I will try that as well with my tasks.
