Gwen's Super Jam Before Midnight
It's 7:26.
I should eat dinner.
hamburger and kale and maybe some grain (when you're done with three top tasks)
But I should also do the following:
vacuum rug
sweep bathroom
empty dishwasher and wash rest of dishes
clear off living room table
put away clothes from laundry
take out any trash

Gwen feels like giving up
I just thought I'd polish my brass table.
I guess I don't know how to take care of nice things.
Utter disaster.

Edge's new habit CI - day 1
Today I've started a new habit for the next 30 days. It will be the only habit that I track here in the hope of creating a sense of accountability and progress. Said habit is cleaning at least one thing or one room per day at home, guided by Zen Habit's '13 Things to Avoid When Changing Habits' article.
x tidied bedroom (75%)
x washed dishes (90%)
x cleaned stove top
x emptied litter and swept area

Lovely thought, kindness. Lovely practice too. Thanks, jalla. Going to try the pomodoro technique today, see if I can make better progress. Yesterday I never really got started until midnight, then was up very late so I am tired today - but must produce!
x 1 pom for daily set-up - PA, prayer, pet care - already did J care, sponsor/sponsee and food (I learned this is a 2pom task because I forgot to allow time for hygiene&dressing)
x 1 pom for Q&A on the D proposal - must email before 12noon (another 2pom task, largely due to interruptions as I have not yet trained myself to avoid the virtual distractions)
x Meta
x 2 poms to read and digest the E proposal
x 1 pom to create Q&As on E proposal
x (needing 2, got distracted)..1 pom to cut and paste from previous E proposal
x Lunch
1 pom on D proposal; possibly 2 depending on energy and time
x 1:30 pm prepare for 2pm cnf call
x 2pm conf call
1 pom to integrate info from the conf call into the E proposal
Meta
"Pause when agitated or doubtful and ask for the right thought or action."
Do what's indicated next
Clear out Inbox
Plan work through Monday
Rest and enjoy TJ and J time tonight
Things I don't want to forget:
email PN that I need her time for vendor sig, proposal reviews and proposal sigs
2 poms on clearing the bills backlog
1 pom vacation planning, only AFTER the rest.
