pro's first check-in - 10:40am

I got up late because I got to bed so late. I have more to do on my computer, but today I really need to get outside. I'm not sure what I'll be doing, but a long walk needs to be part of it.

First, of course, I need to make the bed and get dressed - my wake-up routine. Starting now...

Lark's CI : I'm lazy today.

10:05 AM I don't want to do anything, but if I just post my To Do list, I'll be starting in the right direction. An urgent project came up, so that's where I need to focus.
1. morning routine
2. heat the workshop
3. go for supplies while the shop is warming
4. make a list of the "little things" I didn't get done last week. (just a list for now)
5. Do the project which needs to be done today
6. In the meantime work on the project that I've been working on this past week.
7. Do 5 minutes of housework at lunchtime or coffee break.

Afternoon CI 4:20 PM for Lark

I somehow pulled out of my funk somewhat. You're right Pro, getting the list up there really helps. Seems I've gotten everything done except for nothing on my long-term project. It's not profitable and I'm tired of it. I'm utterly amazed how motivated I can be when avoiding it. BUT, after a snack, I'm going to do something to it. Gotta show...hmmm...Me(?) it's not getting the best of me. Later.

Lark's CI at 11:50 PM

Hi everyone. I hit everything on my list, a couple not as much as I wanted, but I'm aiming to do better this week. Unless I get an energy burst I'm turning in soon. Take care.

good start

It's good you posted your to-do list, although you don't feel like doing anything. I certainly know what that feels like, and when I post my to-do list it helps me to get going.

step5 was simple as the docs were already
gathered. Step6 might be a bit more sophisticated.
Starting step6.

Hi,

So yesterday went to do some searches for website3.
Then spent A LOT of time planning it. I was hoping to wake up
early this morning and get the work done! Oh well no,
I went early in office to browse the internet :? ????!!!!
Got a nice lunch and back to work. :)
I fear I will be on the todo till tomorrow.
I don't want to, but have decided the priority is for me
to get my job done quickly so as not to penalise others. And
after all when this backlog is dealt with, I will have learnt my lesson and will never again accumulate so much to do.

So starting step5
