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.
Going for a brisk walk on the way home from work is really working well! It won't when the clocks go back and it's dark, mind you, but by then I hope I'll have developed an exercise habit that will carry over into something I can do indoors.
Exercise
buy fruit for lunch tomorrow
get pizza for tonight
read and deal with what came through the letterbox -
finish covering hatbox - nearly done, but need to wait for glue to dry before finishing
put more hats away
clear some more space on living room floorjust did a tiny bit but many a mickle makes a muckle
I've already done the most important thing, which was to enrol for my second year of Uni, although it took longer than I anticipated and made me late for my meeting. No hang on, what made me late was, earlier this morning, going for a longer walk than I'd intended to and THAT was a result of my people-pleasing a friend!!! I knew I ought to have gone home sooner!!!
Anyway, I have another service commitment to get to this evening so I'm just going to relax for a while with a cup of tea and recharge my batteries.
Nice starter again Mole :)

Findingaway late CI
lovely starter, Mole!
Just wanted to share that I finished my report
Only one job but at least it's done! And I 'only' stayed up half the night last night and some of the night before - that was bad enough too!
Things I have learnt from this:
Something I already knew: I need to do more billable hours on work days.
Tomorrow is picking up the pieces of all the things I shoved aside while I was getting this done, plus maybe a little relaxation!
Thank you all for being here, and special thanks to those who supported me or worked in solidarity in the chat box - it was a life line!
Congrats to findingaway
:)
Congratulations!
Congratulations!
Thank you Mole!
