Mole's check-in
A late check-in. Happily this is because mornings are turning out to be quite self- disciplined, which makes me think that a work ritual is essential to me as are props like timers, and short bursts with identified objectives. The difficulty I am having is trying to translate the rest of my life - all the messy bits and pieces and the large projects into some similar repetitive routine so I am not always stiopping to make decisions, horrible things that they are.
lunch time (now) healthy cooked meal. Yes, done
2 0 clock estimate pomodoros available to me and begin to identify actual lengths of tasks ( as opposed to magic outcomes)
Read pomodoro book (they estimate two pomodoros) done

Salamander's check in - Mon 1 Oct '12
My thanks to Mole for starting the thread. I'd prefer people not to offer comments here so that I can continue to edit the day as I go through my list. But if anyone has constructive feedback or encouragement to offer, please feel free to get in touch by private message.
I wonder if today has been such a non-event because I didn't go to the PA online meeting yesterday.

Plus the colour
Oh dear, I tried to follow Lavida's example here with a colourful Good Morning but all that came out was this pallid little square.
Never mind, Mole. We still
Never mind, Mole. We still appreciate you making the effort!
