Procrastinators Anonymous is a fellowship of men and women who share their experience, strength and hope with each other that they may solve their common problem and help others to recover from chronic procrastination.
Procrastination is the grave in which opportunity is buried.

Sorry to hear you're so down. Praying for you again.
re: ((LaVida))
Thank you Elvira, I am feeling better now (good prayers work!)
I was helped by HP today, really made a conscious effort to keep contact with him and pray my requests. I used the 10-minute chunk method to get an article written and to find a job. So made some progress, even if it's only a small amount.
Thanks again, hope you are well :)

In deep depression. Got very late start today. Feel oppressed and depressed, and resentful at family members for not helping me, though they helped with a smaller bill. I need my Higher Power to help me with the resentment I feel towards them for afflicting me with these issues. The issue of pressure/demand is strong in my life. And so I avoid, put off, under"be" and live far below what I'm capable of ... subconscious needs to not outshine them, the stars who raised me who always sought to be #1 and right about everything to my own detriment and sense of self. I am angry that I live like this while they sit pretty.
Today is "SMALL CHUNK DAY."
I have finally realized that my big daily goals get me nowhere. They consist of small chunks, and the small chunks need to be used. I must be present with one chunk at a time and shut all the rest out. I can do one small chunk, and it's good enough. I can always start another chunk right after if it matters that much to me. But only small chunks will do. Nothing more.

Innertruth's check-in
Have procrastinated badly this weekend.
Watched TV until 2 am last night and then had trouble getting up.
At my desk at 11:30 am but spent an hour surfing the net.
Saw my client on Friday and he expects me to finish my work by tuesday, even though it's a long weekend here in Canada. His wife (the owner) says that if I don't have time then I don't have to make the time.
The super is coming to my apartment on Tuesday so I spent a bit of time cleaning up. Still need to spend about an hour when I get home from work.
I've got 4 hours to work on my client's stuff before I go in to my part-time job.
Work for afternoon:
Check email and only answer ones from DP and my client.
Review client work and make plan to do it in chunks of time.(partly complete)
Evening -
Recycle, wash kitchen floor, make up calendar for August, possibly 1 to 2 hours client work. I have an appointmentat 11 am tomorrow and I must leave here around 9:30 am to take public transit so it's okay if I work until 1 or 2 am.Before bed - task list for Tuesday.

Show up (done), calender
have been "stuck" with several items and have every "justified excuse" in the book. So lame even to me and going deeper and deeper into fear, shame, paralysis, etc. Truth is I need to be humble enough to ask for help.
