Promise #3:
As we learn to commit each task to our Higher Power
for divine ideas and guidance,
* confidence will replace fear,
* enthusiasm will replace dread,
* and self-esteem will replace self loathing.
We will take the next right actions, as they are required,
easily and effortlessly.

Please do not leave advice or feedback. Thank you. Prayers welcome.
I want to read my goals and affirmations more often (maybe once a month?)
I feel like crap cuz I spoke to some people in my other twelve step chan and these people really did not understand where I was coming from. I need to learn to ignore people who are rude, inappropriate or intrusive, because they are time-wasters, and they are not part of my personal mission. The number one reason I get "stuck" in my Procrastination Addiction is because of obsessing about someone else's behavior instead of doing what's best for me. And if I can release myself, divest myself from other people, by simply ignoring them then I have that much victory over myself and my time. There is no winning with these people, they're just jerks and need to be avoided no matter what. Anyways I 'm feeling vulnerable and precarious as if I have no one to turn to outside of voicemails (maybe one or two). One, really.

Looks like I am on the verge of exhaustion. No matter how much I sleep, it doesn't seem to make a dent. Not sure what else to do.

Sorry to hear you are getting exhausted. One of the things I learnt from others when I first joined this site is that we can not only procrastinate on 'work' but on scheduling rest, fun, nurturing activities, social time with friends and family, health care, health check-ups and health treatments - I'm sure there are more!
I know for myself that getting enough rest and relaxation can be important; hope you are getting enough of these as well as sleep. It can be so easy to feel as procrastinators that we will never 'catch up' and have wasted so much time already, so that every waking minute should be spent on 'work', but we still need balance in our lives.
thanks for the advice!
findinaway,
thanks for the reminder about balance. I do tend to go overboard and either do work or play, nothing in-between. Haven't taken time to work on my usual hobby since Christmas. No wonder I'm so stressed out!
Even though I need sleep, it looks like a hobby might be a better solution - for venting purposes. :)
Thanks for opening my eyes!!
Monday.

A new week yay! I had a very busy but enjoyable Mother's Day weekend. My son is sick though and ended up being admitted to the hospital over the weekend - he is ok and should go home tomorrow but prayers would be appreciated.
I've been quite productive for the past 5 days or so, both at home and at work and I would like to continue this trend today :) I have completed the first MIT - sending out agenda for the noon meeting - and making my todo list now for the rest of the day. I'll check back if stuck. L8tr.

clement ci - symptomatic
last week as pretty a-symptomatic.
today is very symptomatic. It is a disease flair up.
and i have 1 very important, urgent task and people are waiting for me and counting on me. And it has visibility among many managers.
So, really, there are so many reasons to just start right away and hit it hard.
but, i can't.
This is how i knew that Step 1 ( i am powerless ) applied to me. Things in the past, like today : I have every reason in the world to work on this right away, and NO reason to put it off, and yet, here i am, putting it off.
I love that promise for today!!! But at the same time, it convicts me. Because i HAVE made great strides in this fellowship, but it is NOT easy and effortless for me. I still have a LONG way to go.
Step 2 : A Higher Power can help me.
Step 3 : I turn my life and will over to God as i understand God.
I think i can feel that thinking those has helped me.
I'm gonna sign off, pray, ask for God's help, and try again.
