Almost forgot to check in - had a restless night with thunderstorms and terrified animals so overslept a little bit and got a late start, but not too bad. I feel tired, but I've been to the gym, read email, made todo list and completed the first MIT. I'll check in later if I get stuck . . .toodles.

Today I am going to
try andfinish my writeups (that arekind ofoverdue) and e-mail them to a teacher.I am a year and a half from graduating high-school, but I'm not doing well. It's actually really cliche, my situation is a real mess. It's getting to the point where I spend entire weekends doing nothing for school, and when Monday arrives, evading teachers making up excuses is what I do.
I'm hoping that Check-ins can help me... somewhat :((

A new week, a new start. I did something positive this morning, but then made a mistake which affects someone else. Nothing I can do now but apologise later.
I think I will try something different this Monday; usually I start by doing my exercise (bike ride) and/or making my list for the coming week. Unforunately just looking at the list can make me feel defeated. So today I will put together some details for a quote and do one hour's billable work before the list or the bike ride. Hoping that will give me a more positive start. I usually know in my head what needs to be done anyway; the list is just a way of keeping track of stuff and being able to cross it off when I've finished.
Wishing everyone all the best for the new week :)
