Thanks Monica
I guess one of the things I need to do today is get to know this site better, especially the graphics and how you do those really neat "to do" lists. I am not one who has the patience to sit back and watch & learn, I jump in way too quickly.

Well, I completely underestimated myself today. I was sure earlier this evening that there was no way I would put the xmas tree in the box and vacuum...but I did! WOO HOO :)
I had to push myself a few times today. I almost decided to get the groceries "tomorrow", but I did it anyways.

Today I'm thankful for: not having a headache - first day in a long time.
Been a good day over all, although I did feel very down and like crying some of the time. But ended up getting a decent amount done and I feel good now.
Good night.
That's wonderful news

I know I posted a to do list and it's not here, can u help?
I said I would walk our dog, Yoffee, do my yoga tape and meditate (about an hour & a half) which I haven't meditated in a long, long time, and it was rewarding, and vaccum and clean the carpet, which I did all, but also put the laundry away and my husband was inspired to do some of his stuff.
I've just been through a really bad time, so not finding my to do list is making me really paranoid.
It's here
Don't worry, it's here. It is close to the very bottom of the list. Here is a link to your post.

I'm not going to set the alarm for 6am tonight because I want to stay up until midnight to watch the Daily Show with Jon Stewart, followed by The Colbert Report.

10:30 pm CI from Lark
Several things changed my direction today, but nothing bad happened. I just had to rearrange my plans and work a little harder the rest of this week. Part of the good things for today was spending time with some friends for the latter part of the day.
Oh, hey Pro, I sent you a message via the "contact" button. Let me know if you got it. Thanks.
Yoda CI
I have procrastinated doing everything I could today minus things with immediate consequences (hungry horse, hungry kid, missed meetings). But I did prioritize and got the kitten to the vet. So not a total loss but still too much undone.
Posting now as a sort of reality check. I still have about 3 hours before bed and should be somewhere else but here I sit on the www.
Two things are infinite: the universe and human stupidity; and I'm not sure about the universe - Albert Einstein
what "should" you be doing?
First of all, have you read the thread on the book "Too Perfect"? It talks a lot about procrastinators feeling they "should" do stuff, to the point of not knowing what they actually WANT to do. It's called "demand resistance".
So what is it you feel you "should" be doing? More important, what is it that you WANT to do with the next three hours of your one and only life?

SHOULD: Declutter
WANT: Girls just wanna have fun. And fun was had.

Whoopee! I have boxes! Many thanks Monica & Pro! :-)
As to the list, it *was* too long. Nonetheless, I feel really good about all the stuff I got done. And tomorrow I'll aim to be more realistic.
jj's 7:15 p.m. CI
How come either I eat too much of the wrong food, or I don't eat enough? Like this afternoon, all of a sudden I felt very weak and tired and realized I hadn't eaten anything since about noon. I thought I'd wait for supper, but then R worked late and didn't get home until about 7 p.m. Silly me.

I did the after dinner cleanup but I didn't wipe down the counters or clean the waffle iron because I have to run out and take my Aunt to the store. So I'll do those two tasks tomorrow. I feel pretty good about the day though. I hope I'm not too tired when I get back in. I want to complete everything else on my list.

Monica, you are so efficient lately that I have a hard time picturing you as a procrastinator. Up and five, do all the stuff on your list... You inspire me!
Thanks to you
If you saw my home you'd have no doubt in your mind. LOL! I have you to thank for the success I've been having. Before joining this board, my struggle to overcome seemed hopeless.

what happened to the page width??
I'm trying to figure out what happened to the formatting of this page - what's forcing it to be so wide. Somebody most have posted something very wide, but I don't see it.
found it
The forum got stretched because Yoda posted an overlong string of characters in her to-do post. I shortened it, and the forum formatting is restored to normal.
uh...
Screwing with the board formatting AGAIN!

Does anyone else have grocery shopping issues? For some reason, I just sort of glaze over when I go grocery shopping, and what should take maybe 1/2 hr ends up taking 1 hr. I just stand there and can't make a decision about which brand of product to buy. Sound silly, but it feels very overwhelming. I'm reading the book "Too Perfect" right now, and he talks about even small, pleasurable decisions become obstacles because of the fear of making the "wrong" decision. While I totally see this in lots of other areas of my life, could it be that it's also affecting my grocery shopping :? Very sad!
Edge's CI - 11:08 PM
I'm kind of depressed. Tara came over unexpectedly and we went out for takeaway and had dinner with the family, which was a lot of fun, but I accomplished very little today. I've been putting off finishing my university registration papers for ages now, and I can't seem to get rid of them. I hate it.

Edge...
Actually, you did accomplish things today. Don't minimize that. Look back at all the things you have checked. Looks to me like you cleaned your home and did your laundry. Usually on days that I clean and do laundry, I do little else.
Procrastinators have a tendency to always be disappointed with themselves. No matter how much we accomplish, we think it should be more.
Words of wisdom.
Thanks, Pro :) I really needed that. Frustration is a real motivation killer, isn't it? No more negative self-talk from now on. Baby steps, baby steps :p

Hi Yoda,
Turns out you were the formatting culprit. That extra long string of "~~~~~~~~~~" you put before your signature forced the width of the center column to be super wide and through everything off. I edited it to be shorter. Please be careful about putting overwide things in messages. It messes up the formatting.

I've decided to stay home after all. Since I'm home I'll be on kitchen duty today. I really don't like kitchen duty so I'll have to put all my anti-procrastination muscles to work. I've broken my duties down into smaller tasks in hopes that I will not feel overwhelmed and give up. I hope it works.

Last night I had several distractions, so little got done. The weather is going to be worse, so I visited friends and ran errands, and I plan on staying in more when it's cold and snowy. My main project should be done today.
To Do;
(done) morning things
(tried, but had unexplained problems) finish job
(got it down to the door} take emptied cabinet downstairs
(not much) normal house cleaning
(a start, but barely) start on next work project
(didn't have to today) help friend later today
All for now. Good luck everyone.

I'm traveling today - in the pouring rain, unfortunately. It's a 20 minute walk to the garage where my car is parked - in the rain. I'm hoping it's not freezing rain where I'm going - up north.
After my experience yesterday, I see it will take a long time to get Microsoft Money propertly sorted out and configured. Since it's probably raining where I'm going, I can do some of that today. I have to have patience - not time bingeing.

I'm exhausted just reading your list. Be careful not to attempt to much. That just sets you up for failure and discouragement.
Thanks for the feedback
This is a long-term problem of mine. I really have trouble prioritizing and feel like everything has to be done now (though my complete to do list of all pending things is like 7 pages). I think I'm gonna start doing what I sort of did yesterday--estimate how long everything on the list will take and then remove stuff. Thanks Pro.

Hi All,
Forgive me if I make mistakes, I'm new. Before the end of the evening I have to walk our dog Yoffee, and I want to do my yoga tape and then meditate. That could take about 1 1/2 hours. My first attempt at meditating in a real, real long time. I also want to squeeze in vaccuming and cleaning the carpet. That would be so majorly excellent. I hope this works!! I really need the help.
