Procrastination is the grave in which opportunity is buried.
Daily Check-in thread: Sunday November 16th 2014
God,
Grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change,
The courage to change the things I can,
And the wisdom to know the difference.
Thy will not mine be done.
Following on from the discussion in the thread here, I though I'd offer a temporary workaround to not being able to create new threads and the unmanageabity of such a long 17th March thread, by recycling the thread from exactly on year ago to use for each daily check-in. Feel free to use whatever system works for you.
Yours in fellowship,
Jack
First check in on the site
Hello, everyone.
Before I start my check-in I wanted to say I called in to the 11am EST daily call today (Saturday) and I was the only person on the call. It's OK if that's the case but I just wanted to make sure I am calling the right number and doing the right things. I called the updated number (559 726 1300 and entered the access code 496261). I will try again on Monday.
I will only list the 3 MIT tasks I have to do today:
-call C (and then call R to report I did it)
-fill out 2010 forms
-spend 3 poms on writing
These tasks have been hanging over my head for days/weeks (especially the first two) and are part of what brought me to this sight. So let's hope I can check in later today and report success.
Cheers to all!

Welcome to the site. Hope to 'see' you around.
Hmmm, the site is saying my
Hmmm, the site is saying my message posted at 12:11pm, when in fact the clock here says 11:11am EST. I am now thinking that I called in to the daily call an hour late (because of the fall time change). Perhaps the call is now at 10am EST ?
@minerrvas re: 11am phone mtg
Hi,
Yes there is an 11:00am phone meeting Mon-Sat
and it happens at whatever time it is in New York.
(11am EST winters and 11am EDT summers).
The Saturday meeting is more sparsely attended than the Mon-Fri meeting, so maybe you just found a day when nobody came ... or ... perhaps people arrived very late.
Please do try again on Monday!
@minerrvas re: editing posts
We cannot edit our posts if they've been replied to --
regardless whether it's ourselves who replied, or someone else who replied.
If there is a reply, then at the bottom of your post, you'll see
username, date, "reply", "printer-friendly version".
But not "edit".
If nobody has replied (not even yourself), and you are logged in,
then you should be able to see
username, date, "edit", "reply", "printer-friendly version".
Click "edit" to edit your post.
I didn't reply to your BELOW post, so as to ensure that you will be able to edit it.
Ooops. I see that someone else has replied to your post below. Oh well.
You could always make a new post and then, as soon as it has been posted, test trying an edit before there are any replies!
thank you, movingalong! I
thank you, movingalong! I will try again on Monday.
I am commenting to report that I did the first task on my list, call C, and a great weight has been lifted. It feels good!
I am now going to walk the dog, and then tackle my other two MITs.
I don't know how to edit my own messages, or else I would strike through my tasks on my original message.
Best anti-procrastination wishes to all who need them! We are in this together.
@ minerrvas
Welcome!
Wishing you all the best on your journey.
