If you have made mistakes, there is always another chance for you. You may have a fresh start any moment you choose, for this thing we call 'failure' is not the falling down, but the staying down.

Hi VM!

Here are links to two posts from the top of the check-ins board that explain the mysteries of check-ins, how they work, how to use them, etc.:

Progress: Late CI Wed. 6/27

RisingUp - 27 Jun 2012 - 3:59pm

Hi all, I'm back after a week immersed in birthdays ... having MAJOR trouble concentrating. I did succeed in getting *ONE* assignment completed and made some money on that. So I broke my procrastination spell on that, thank God. But now I really have to get in gear.

 

Tasks for today/tonight: 

*Write as many assignments as I can, 10 max, 5 min. 

*Read Bible, prayer

*UA meeting tonight, step workbook

*PA chatbox check-ins

I have a few other things on my list, but realistically, I won't do any of them because of the hazy mood I'm in and it's already 5pm. Main goal is to get that stuff written.

OK, I've been having trouble concentrating this week.

And today is a pretty short day because I am teaching girls group this evening.

So, I need to keep my list manageable:
*Work on ES cell counts (this won't necessarily get done today, because I need to do calcs and QC, but I want to make process)
*Look at slides
*Ask about gavage, and watch some videos about how to do this
*Email about probes
*Finish tabulating stuff that's finished so far (including doing a little extra microscopy)
*Probe design for PPARd

  • verbal report for CR
  • phone messages
  • tidy desk
  • A's report
  • I's report
  • appointment
  • catch-up reports

All I can do today is try and stay focused on my assignment and GET IT DONE. That main one and the other two outstanding ones that are thankfully shorter...

However, I also must:

  • walk the dogs
  • feed the wretches
  • eat breakfast myself
  • go to my 10.30 meeting
  • after that work work work until I'm happily satisfied that I've done enough and it doesn't sound too awfully inane.

Hope everyone has a good day. 

 

Draft of "Want To / Choose To" list for tomorrow

Well Begun - 28 Jun 2012 - 6:07am

in an effort to create "buy in" and overcome avoidance and demand resistance I'm experimenting with calling my daily tasks a "Want To" and/or "Choose To" list, as opposed to the ever ominous and oppressive "To Do" list.

This is a draft and I'll be using abbreviations

Ins Matt                                                                                           

  • Cont. rvwing pol, as well as lit from lib                                       
  • Doc last recorded activity on the item(s) in question                             
  • Finish Compiling docs                                                                    
  • Draft email
