Weave yourself a small container of time today, 20 minutes, say, and do with it your heart's desire.

I am feeling overwhlemed today, and am not sure how to get started (I am coming back from a long weekend, and still haven't gotten going)
Today I mostly need to work on revising:
*Revise section 1 (working on this now)
*Revise section 2
*Revise section 3
*Revise section 4
*Revise section 5
*Email
*Make antibody table
I also need to work on job search:
*Draft cover letter for genzyme
*Watch video from JK
And I need to check on my expts, unpack, pray, and
email about thesis committee.And make a schedule/plan for the week.Maybe I'll do thesis committee first, then revisions
kromer 7:15 CI
I'm going super-slow today, but so far I have:
Revised section 1
Revised secton 2
Revised section 3
Revised section 4
Revised section 5
Emailed
Worked on figure legends (done instead of antibody table, ended up being more urgent/important)
Checked on expts
Emailed about thesis committee
Now I will get dinner and revise sections 4 and 5 and email, then go home and unpack, pray, and watch JK videos.
Thanks for the encouragement journey!
good luck with the job/internship search!
I know you've been working hard for years and I hope you find the perfect position.

Journey 11 am
Quick check in . . .in the office today, doing ok, see ya later
Update 5:15 pm: This has pretty much been a perfect day as work days go. One of my projects has completed except for the final wrap up stuff. That puts my workload down into the manageable range for a while, thank the Lord. I stayed focused and worked pretty hard today and completed all items on my todo list.
First question: Why aren't all days like this? I need to think about staying focused and completing my todo list EVERY day.
Second question: How to maintain the sense of urgency and get stuff done now that the pressure is not so intense?
Third question: How can I get the guy in the next cubicle to SHUT UP? Oh well, everything can't be perfect lol.

show up (done), plan, exerprogress not perfection, better than I was, thank you HP
Language of Letting Go with Melody Beattie: "Accepting Imperfection Why do we punish ourselves by thinking that
we're inferior while believing that others are perfect - whether in
relationships, recovery, or a specific task? It is far more accurate and beneficial to tell
ourselves that who we are is okay and what we are doing is good enough.
That doesn't mean we won't make mistakes that need correcting; doesn't
mean we won't get off track from time to time; doesn't mean we can't
improve. It means with all our mistakes and wandering, we're basically
on course. Encouraging and approving of ourselves is how we help
ourselves stay on track.
Today, I
will love and encourage myself. I will tell myself that what I'm doing
is good enough, and I'll let myself enjoy that feeling."
