HAPPY THURSDAY, EVERYBODY!

Tool Five of PA:  Avoid Time Bingeing:

One reason procrastinators dread starting is that once they start they don't let themselves stop. Plan to work on a task for a defined period of time, then set a timer. When the timer goes off, you're done.

Have a great proactive day!

Peace

Happy Thursday!   Back in the office today and feeling tired, but I have a lot to do.  I got a lot of work done the past couple of days working from home though, so I am on target to be ready for this weekend.  I have been really snappy and grumpy with my husband also and it's not his fault.   

Anyway, so far today I have been to the gym, read email, ran a meeting and dealt with several phone calls following up on the meeting.   Now I'm going to (finally) get a cup of tea and make my todo list.   

Embrace the suck!

Progress: Check-In Thurs. 6/14

Good morning! I'm happy to say that I'm actually up eating breakfast and it's only 9:30am. I went to bed quite late, around 12:30-1am, but naturally woke up at 6:30 without an alarm. Stayed in bed for 2 hours, but listened to phone meeting and watched some TV sermons. I made a choice last night that I would stay constantly connected to my Higher Power through prayer, and it is really helping me. The battle is in the mind so I keep praying for God's will and thoughts to stay with me.

I feel much more at ease making the choice to give my day over to God, letting him tell me what is the next right thing. That's why I'm not going to overschedule myself. i think I won't even write a planned task list today. Will just do the next right thing, and when it's done, cross it off the list. That feels better to me since the demand resistance has been a problem. I've also discovered that I need 2 hours to get ready for bed, and 2 hours to wake up out of bed. It may seem long, but this is what I usually do so there's no sense in fighting it. 

1. Attend a PA phone meeting. 

2. Watch inspirational sermons and take notes. 


3. Eat breakfast and supplements.

4. Attend UA phone meeting.

5. Read Bible.

6. Read Step 1 section of UA Step Workbook.

7. Update timesheet.

8. Read Step 1 chapter of the "12 and 12"

9. Eat lunch and supplements. 

10. Walk outside [did 25 minutes]

11. *COMPLETE 5-MINUTE WORK MICROBURST*

12. Did a 2nd microburst for work. 

13. Called a friend and chatted for a little while, helped to feel more connected. 

14. Went to a dreaded recovery meeting and sat through it for 2 hours to completion. Won't be going back though.
