9:59am : it's been 1 min since i last went off plan. It is often "1 min" because i get off plan, then come here to get back on, so it's always that 1 min. so i'm not looking for big numbers. Love it if they come. But i'm looking toward the future at every moment. Here's the plan i came up with as i was falling asleep :
:) ci
:) quiet time
:) sort tasks - christmas is coming up. should i defer some work tasks and do christmas tasks?
:) do tasks
10:12am thu : i did do much more christmas tasks.

gotmusikk's Wednesday
Hello everyone :-)
Today I KNOW will be a day off-plan. There's just too much stuff going on. Regardless, I'd like to set the intention that I'll be kind to myself, and will check in with my higher power regularly to guide me in how to best execute my tasks.
Appointments:
9-11:30am MH1~2-4~5pm MIL is here
5pm Rehearse
6pm Run
7:30pm Meditation class
Tasks:
-- wrap presents for BF-- hide presents for MIL-- dishes-- MAIL PRESENTS TO FAMILY!-- make bread pudding-- clean
-- send 2 emails
End of day conclusion: for a very sleep deprived day, it was relatively productive. I didn't get stuck in procrastination. Doing dishes always provokes resistance, but I overcame it in about 10 minutes. Now I just wish that I could stop judging myself so harshly and making myself feel like crap. All in good time, I guess. Just gotta keep believing that it's possible.

Good morning . . .working at home today. I feel sore and achy from the pneumonia vaccine I got yesterday so I'm skipping exercise this morning. I will go to the gym in the morning and do some gentle cardio. I've had a nice healthy breakfast and I'm going to get dressed in work-from-home clothes, check email and calendar, and make todo list for the day.
I'll be back soon.

Thank you Movingalong for the lovely choice of thread-starter. Just to know that we have it within us to make the change is enough some days.
