Mole asking for help
What a lovely quote, Eleanor. I have written it out and will keep it with me for awhile. I was going to say cut it out, which might have been rather devastating for my iPad.
I have fallen out of my tree and back into the mire of procrastination, indecision, and tiredness and want to get myself back on track for a dynamic year. Part of my descent has been because I haven't been checking in. Asking myself why I haven't I know that because it is hard for me to do at the moment, actually starting a thread becomes overwhelming, and if I wait for the day,s thread it is already mid afternoon here and much of the day wasted.
If there is some kind, in-a-better-space person out there, or several of you, who could post a daily thread starter ahead of time until I am back on my feet? I would be very very grateful.
Yours,
clawing its way out of the procrastination hole,
Mole

Have been avoiding all recovery stuff for the past week. Just haven't been physically feeling well. Today is rough.
Good news: I have a decent amount of money coming to me on Friday from the project I finally completed yesterday.
But I have a doctor's appointment on Monday that I've been waiting for 2 months, and still not sure I will have enough money for the trip across the state thanks to all the other past-due bills.
My poverty is wearing thin. I need to just bite the bullet and apply for a job today.

update Wednesday Calypso
I heard this morning about the fact that there was a deadline which I missed yesterday, I am now trying to get it done by this evening. I am using pomodoro timer. I have done 4 pomos, and for the rest of the time am avoiding, because it is a difficult task I have to do. I have been on holiday for 4 weeks now. I have not done work for a long time now. It would be good to just knuckle down. Maybe I should cut up my project which I need to do in little bits now. Then I can see progress.
part 1: Introduction- 6.05 pm to 06:30 pm.
part 2. general section. 6.35 to 7pm.
part 3. section specific to country. 7.05pm to 07. 30 pm.
that is enough for now.
I will try and do this now.
I like gotmusikks idea to do the underneath items so am borrowing that idea- thank you gotmusikk.

Progress, not perfection.
Consistency over emergencies.
Do the thing that feels healthy, not "shouldy" or escapist.

Hiding out from work today. Lame excuse that I may be able to stretch for another day as well. Not that I think it's going to do much good other than ease the discomfort a little by seperating it in time.
I have 4 hr health appt this afternoon and must leave by 11:30am, so I am going to try to work on some of the personal planning that is way over due. I will do 4 'sessions' of 25 min each with clearly defined goals for each session and see how I do.

EleanorBE's Wednesday list
So I thought of this quote when someone fell over on the ice in a neighbouring street and when I'd helped her up said, well, if everyone cleared the path outside their house, this wouldn't happen. And I nearly stomped off into my house and closed the door thinking huh! Yes! She's right! No-one helps eachother! Then I realized how daft that was and went back out with some salt. But it's often hard to be the change you wish to see. I think I do it in my teaching. I want the students to be excited and enthusiastic, and so I am, and it sometimes works! But sometimes I feel defeated - not by the obvious War and Disaster things which it seems so impossible to affect - but by silly, small things I want to change in my own, relatively narrow world. Well, I'll try to focus on these things tomorrow.
- Get up at 6.45
- Go to work
- Run through classes + ppt.
- Teach classes
- Check times for U workshops
- Run U workshops
- do c.card
- pay K
- decide when you'll do feedback on H and A
- write to those who haven't done H and A assignment
- find H and A assignments hc.- decide when you'll read B and J's wk
- check dates for meeting B and J
- WRITE TO C
- update CV
- send CV to M
- pack for tomorrow
- book restaurant for Sat, with G.
What change would you like to see?
I'd like London to be friendlier, with more people smiling at strangers. Actually I do smile at strangers, as long as it's still light and I'm not in too dodgy and area!
I'd like to have a lovely tidy office. So I will start on that, even if I can only do 20 minutes.
