Naturally, I've managed to get to a final, yes-this-really-has-to-be-done-today deadline. I've moved over the list from yesterday, so I can start the list with some stuff crossed off...

 1) Test one defect
 2) And another
 3) And another Woohoo!
 4) And another Woohoo #2!
 5) And another
 6) And another
 7) And another
 8) And another
 9) And another (Strictly speaking, it's been Monday for the past 9 hours or so.)
10) And another (Made progress)
11) And last one (Made progress)

Making "discomfort" my goal did produce substantially different results than approaches I've used in recent memory. I will continue playing with this concept. I am VERY PLEASED with my tremendous progress!

Making discomfort a daily goal is the key to making progress. Robert Leahy
