Today just studying for optics exam.
Not too worried for it though I should be.
Next time I feel like wasting time I'll take a step back and think about how important all the things I'm putting off are.
I can relate too :)
I am also studying Optics, majoring in it actually :) I'm curious to see what you are taking! lol
Just wanted to let you know I relate. Sometimes thinking of how important EVERYTHING I have to do is is really overwhelming and sometimes I just think "well I am at A and I want to get to B" what is the first step to get there. Even if it is just one assignment or emailing my prof for help or something.
But I'm definitely not perfect. I am struggling with finding a balance in my life.
i too can identify. i
i too can identify. i have something that I should have been working on for a few weeks. i know it has to be done..i swore to myself i would do it over the weekend, but i didn't. now i will have to pull an all-nighter because it has to be to the attorney tomorrow - my time is up.
i keep asking what am i getting from procrastinating it? at some level, if i wanted to do it, i would have at least been working on it.
Now, i'm just beating myself up. I don't understand myself!!
can identify.
also feel things are so overwhelming, and that the things i need to do are so important, that i totally become dysfuctional. now apartment is being painted, things are all over the place, clothes that fit, clothes that down't fit, books that i will never read. have started giving away books. which i had a garage that i could just throw all my junk into but i live in nyc. even if i hire someone they could not possibly organize stuff because i need to do that.
i do care. and that things are not getting done makes the situation even the more stressful

Journey 7:45
Happy Tuesday. Working from home today. I'm very grateful that I don't have to hit the freeway today because it was a nightmare yesterday. I have a dentist appointment this morning, so I only have about 6-7 hours for work today, and I intend to dedicate myself and work hard during those 6-7 hours.
I'm feeling very sleepy this morning. Yesterday I was tired all day from the weekend, partly from working Saturday night but mostly from an overwhelming amount of kids and dogs. Yesterday was not a good day. I was dragging all day and never even made a todo list, I was just in reactive mode all day, doing whatever seemed urgent at the moment. Today I'll get myself back together, exercise, then review my goals for April and make a nice todo list. By then it will probably be time to head for the peridontist for a cleaning, unpleasant but it will feel great after it's done.
I will check back after the dentist with my todo list for the rest of the day. Now, exercise! I have the exercise video queued up.

Finding a way CI
10.00 am
Showing up today. Up, dressed, breakfasted, been for bike ride (exercise). I don't want to look at my 'To do' list because I know there's stuff left over from yesterday. I keep telling myself I can do a certain amount of stuff, and I regularly do something like 75% of it. Perhaps if I was fully recovered from procrastination (is there such a thing?) I could do the 100% but for now it just makes me feel bad having 'leftover' jobs from the day/s before.
I think I have to cut myself a little slack and put less jobs on my lists, despite the guilt I feel about not getting through the 'backlog' fast enough. Also trying to resolve a balance between paid and unpaid jobs.
Best wishes to you all for the day ahead! :)
