clement ci - day 81 attempting abstinence

from RisingUp Check-In 1/28 Mon. at url http://procrastinators-anonymous.org/node/4698#comment-60218 :

"TRUST in the Lord with all your heart, and lean not to your own understanding." Proverbs 3:5

That's a message from HP cuz that's exactly what i'm struggling with. I have concluded at this time that i am addicted to

  • procrastination
  • relying on myself rather than relying on God

today i have not relied on self, but i have not quite relied on God yet, just made space for Him.

Piqued's check-in

Starting thoughts:
Out of sorts, but ready to settle in and work.

Goals:
-- Test add/delete DONE
-- Look at old problem log STARTED
-- Write a time budget for rest of this week (re: work tasks)
-- Appt with HH DONE
-- Schedule appt to see new primary care doc DONE

Another day:
--

Ending thoughts: 
While doing riddled's daily dare today, I worked for 30 minutes straight and enjoyed what I was working on. Is there some way to let myself look forward to doing my job since I actually enjoy doing it? Right now I'm pounding myself with so much self-doubt and recrimination that even thinking about working is anxiety provoking.

Journey 7:30

Happy Tuesday!  Working from home today.   I've been away because I've just been so busy with work there was no chance to procrastinate.   Still busy but immediate pressure is off so now I feel like slacking off.   But I'm behind on household chores and routine work stuff like email as well, and I need to keep my projects moving along too, so it's not time for slacking off!   It is time to do a reasonable amount of work and get a reasonable amount of rest as well. 

Right now I am going to exercise, have a healthy breakfast, attend a conference call at 9 am, then make todo list for the rest of the day.   I'll check back here about 10.  See ya then!

Update 10:30 here is today's list

  • exercise
  • Project R meeting
  • call vet
  • Project M - Run and review A
  • Project M - Prepare F
  • Project M - Run and review F
  • Project M - Install plan Q
  • Project M - Prepare X
  • Project C - Find email from B - what info does he need?
  • Project V - review doc update
  • catch up email - started
  • test new conference
  • get car inspected
  • pick up dog's prescrip - forgot to call it in
  • quiet time
  • cat litter
  • dinner
  • dishes
  • laundry - started
  • table
  • vitamins
  • zazzle order? coupon expires thurs, make a decision
  • read and relax for at least an hour before bed
  • plan meals and snacks
  • eat the meals and snacks I planned (and nothing else!)

Update 6pm - done with work - didn't quite finish everything on my list but that's enough for today.   Now I'm going to change the cat litter, finish up dinner, do the dishes, put away 1 load of folded laundry and put the washed laundry in the dryer, have that quiet time that I meant to do this morning, and call it a day.   I'll report back in the morning if I did the above.   Have a good evening everyone!

Update:  did everything except the most important thing, quiet time!
