RisingUp Check-In 2/11
Okay, something's up here today. I am pretty convinced by now at 1:40pm that the "enemy" is really coming after me today regarding my (lack of) productivity.
Just when I am most motivated, somehow "it" is just not happening. It's minor, dumb things that are irritating me. I am SO sensitive that every tiny thing is yet another excuse why I "can't get it all done" ... hmmm ...
In the name of my lord Jesus Christ, I rebuke you Satan, I bind you and your demons and cast you down into the pit of hell from whence you came. You are NOT allowed to interfere with my current efforts to improve my life and be more productive so I can earn a livable wage!!!! Be gone now!!!
I ask you Heavenly Father for the ability to make real progress today. Help me to concentrate and focus on the task at hand so I can get it DONE! Let your will be done in my life, my job, my career, my finances, not my own. Thank you, in Jesus' name I pray, Amen.

I had a really fun relaxing weekend, but it almost feels like I'm coming back from a vacation. So, using a strategy that's worked for me before, I will make a long list of tasks and will give myself permission to chose whatever seems most appealing. I would like to get 5 of these done today, as a minimum.
Revise intro
Finish discussion outline
Make more reagents, deal w/ blocks (working on this now)Finish resume updates, Submit resume for V (will do this soon)Check on exptsCall R (left a msg, waiting for a call back)
Buy tickets
Carefully plan out P/B expt and S/R expt
Finish counts
Make hair cut appt,Clean bathroom
Finish updating refs.
I am pretty distractable today, so I will start with an active task: making more reagents

hi all, i'm still figuring out this website, but i'm going to try to check in today. i've recently started a new part time job, so i'll be heading out shortly. been faffing this morning, and wanting so badly to get back to dissertating. dissertating is my main priority outside of my family. it's been a long time since i've dissertated and i must get back to it and make the time. vibes for a productive day!

show up (done), plan, exerThere is no wisdom, nor understanding, nor counsel against HP.
Thanks for starter jal. I too am praying for willingness to be willing.Courage to feel the pain, of "me". , knowing I am not alone.Together we can do what we could never do alone. Thank you HP.
ps i forgot, it helps me to focus on "wanting it done" instead of "not wanting to do it", like the truth is I do want it done, so I don't stay stuck in beating myself up for not wanting todo "it"

9:25am : It's been 8hrs 39min since i last went off plan. That includes ~8hrs of sleep, so almost all sleep. But it means i was on plan before bed and this morning. I have (10+2)*5 going. I am going to also track my schedule. I start 1hr behind, and will try to stay just that 1hr behind all day.
9:50am : Now faith is being sure of what we hope for, being certain of what we do not see." - Hebrews 11:1
10:10am : it's been 9hrs 24min since i last went off plan. plan was (10+2)*5 so it had built-in, on-plan break which i used to fit in a secondary, fun, but need task. That worked well. Took 4 min but i was renaming files and believe not leaving them in a middle state was important. for 2 min cost.
10:59am : it's been 10hrs 13min since i last went off plan
12:08pm : it's been ...
1:35pm : i got distracted *IN* that previous update. geesh. It's been 1 min since i last went off plan. I'm distractable today. Now i have to sort tasks!!! hard. God help me.
6:54pm : it's been 1 min since i last went off plan. But i've been on plan almost all day. Best monday in a while. have to return to
7:56pm : it's been 1hr 3min since i last went off plan. That means God has granted me recovery today. I did not do it myself.
8:44pm : it's been 1hr 51min since i last went off plan. Last week i never thot i'd see sobriety again. I guess it's true that God gives infinite new beginnings
