Procrastinators Anonymous is a fellowship of men and women who share their experience, strength and hope with each other that they may solve their common problem and help others to recover from chronic procrastination.
This is kind of a low-key day because I worked a lot last week and because my adviser is out of town, but I will:
*Quantify mutations in 6 runs, microburst correlations

*Ask Mu for blocks
*Microburst cell cycle presentation *Download and process microarray data (have made good progress on this) *Email about appreciation day

The one thing, the only thing, i can do impulsively is write something on my todo list.
The one thing, the only thing, i can do off plan is recovery, something to maintain my sobriety, when tempted. I have come to believe that it is more important to maintain sobriety than to get things done.
Abstinence from relying on self.
We reviewed our fears thoroughly. We put them on paper, even though we had no resentment in connection with them. We asked ourselves why we had them. Wasn't it because self-reliance failed us? Self-reliance was good as far as it went, but it didn't go far enough. Some of us once had great self-confidence, but it didn't fully solve the fear problem, or any other. When it made us cocky, it was worse.
Perhaps there is a better way - we think so. For we are now on a different basis; the basis of trusting and relying upon God. We trust infinite God rather than our finite selves. We are in the world to play the role He assigns. Just to the extent that we do as we think He would have us, and humbly rely on Him, does He enable us to match calamity with serenity.
We never apologize to anyone for depending upon our Creator. We can laugh at those who think spirituality the way of weakness. Paradoxically, it is the way of strength. The verdict of the ages is that faith means courage. All men of faith have courage. They trust their God. We never apologize for God. Instead we let Him demonstrate, through us, what He can do. We ask Him to remove our fear and direct our attention to what He would have us be. At once, we commence to outgrow fear. p68 AA Big Book.
10:24am : that's too big to post every day. I'll put it somewhere else and post a link to it--on a designated break today. I've come to believe i have to count days for various levels of un-sobriety. Last night i went on a 6-hour off-plan bender, also not relying on god. It's been a long time since i did that.
It's been 8hrs 54min since i last got distracted.
It's been 8hrs 54min since i last went on an off-plan bender >15min
It's been 8hrs 54min since i last went on an off-plan bender >2hrs. Before that it has been 1 month, maybe more.
It's been 136 days since i last went on an off-plan bender >1day
It's been ~180 days since i last went on an off-plan bender >1week
It's been 8hrs 54min since i last relied on self.
These may not be the right durations. i'll think about them again on a designated break.
