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.
Basically took the weekend "off" to focus on home tasks ... and it's time to get to work.
I became a store member so going shopping this morning to hopefully find cooking ingredients. After that, the following list (loosely) applies ... I say loosely because I am not going to pressure myself. Instead, let God work in and through me and let it all flow according to HIS Will.

I'm getting stressed... work I'm meant to be doing, finally got going on, only for my tablet to freeze in the autorotate lock ON position, which means that now I can't put my password in anymore (due to a broken screen which renders the bottom quarter of the screen useless. Fine as long as the screen rotates...but I just put paid to that!!!)
Anyway, at least I can work at this computer, I just didn't want to because of the possibilities for procrastination it brings, with the iplayer etc...
And I want to get to a meeting as well in just over an hour from now... so burst burst burst...

Thank you PA (ers)
Enjoy the little things; one day you may look back and realise they were the big things
Wow, what a day, decided to clean my bedroom/rearrange it, it's taken me hours and I still haven't finished... I have so much stuff!!!! And I need it all!!!!
but I also walked the dogs, got some shopping, juiced... haven't done any studying though, which should have been a priotity. But sorting my room out is a massive priority so I shall carry on!!!
___________________________________________________________________________ It's an inside job...
I should try to focus for the next 40 minutes and finish the chapter I'm reading...perhaps with a coffee in hand to assist :).
Just had a meeting with my student advisor, who is LOVELY. I ended up crying though as I explained how my sister's inquest would be happening in January, and it was already put off because my mother hadn't been given sufficient notice. I haven't cried over P.'s death for a little while, I know I'm not exactly finished grieving, in fact I think I may not have even started! It's just so weird, and easier to concentrate on the in-my-face things like uni, and home, and health... but I feel a little like I've been run over after that conversation. I had to hide in the ladies for a while...
Anyway (yes, let's move on hey) next up is a meeting with my fellow student to prepare our presentation for Wednesday, there was supposed to be three of us but one girl had lost her housekeys and needed to sort things out... so I hope we'll get stuff done. Meanwhile, let me go and finish the reading, that will help to give me something useful to say (and yes I hear the bitter underlying criticism there... Lord help me to be less self-critical, to love and care for myself and support myself in my efforts to get better at doing things in a timely fashion, as well as I can.).
I'll check in again later, I feel I need P-A in my life right now, thank god for its existence and presence here on the interweb, even if it is a little stuck in March...
___________________________________________________________________________ It's an inside job...
Yes, God grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change (like the fact that my procrastination means I only have about 7 weeks left to make/attend dr. appts. before the new year's deductible kicks in again, while I still have the chance to save money on these appointments). Courage to change the things I can (like get on the phone and make the appts). And wisdom to know the difference (like I may need to accept that some appts I will be able to get within the time frame, while others may require a longer wait due to drs. going on holiday vacation or just need to book further in advance). God, grant me the courage to find out the information I need (ask/seek/knock) and the serenity to accept whatever that info ends up being. Whatever it is Lord, you will help me handle it, and it may not be as bad as my imagination wants to think. Help me to think of the time I have left, though short, as an opportunity. Amen!

Re: "I just noticed there's over a thousand comments for this March 17th
thread now...will it ever be fixed? I'm not complaining but I imagine it
would put new members off.."
Hi hazyjane, just posting a separate comment in case you wanted to edit your post later for tasks ... wanted to say I was also wondering the same thing. If I could help fix it in any way I would certainly offer to help, but I know nothing about fixing board templates! I agree that it's a bit concerning that this has not been fixed. The date of the thread is from 8 months ago ... it would be really helpful if it could be fixed soon to show that some recovery is happening here in the hopes that we're not all going to be stuck in procrastination. It's understandable, but wondering if maybe this site can be converted somehow into another working system, or pick up where we left off as a group on another brand-new system where we can still link this board as an archive for reference? Just throwing ideas out there because it is hard to get recovery while we are held back by a technicality. Not complaining or criticizing, just calling out what is of concern to all of us, because I love this group/board as it's the only place I knew to help me deal with this serious procrastination issue. Thanks :) RisingUp
Step 1 states "We admitted we were powerless over compulsive procrastination, that our lives had become unmanageable". I do agree the broken website can feel as though we are stuck in Step 1 territory.
It's very difficult for me to find my past daily check-ins all stored in this thread. As a temporary work around, may I suggest we use the check-in thread from one year before, and move forward day by day?
Longer term, yes, this group is run by volunteers giving service, and perhaps if a sub-comittee could come forward and offer to come together to look at the options ahead regarding the website, and one option chosen by group conscience, then that could help move in the right direction. (I wonder if there is a business meeting in the PA phone meeting schedule that this issue could be raised?)
Re: hazyjane's comment: "I just noticed there's over a thousand comments for this March 17th thread now...will it ever be fixed? I'm not complaining but I imagine it would put new members off.."
There have not been any new members admitted to this website since Dec. 2, 2012. Two years since the last new website member. The owner cannot edit thread-titles or start new threads, either. The website is broken (as Clement said below).
This is a privately-owned website whose owner donates whatever time&energy he/she can to maintaining it. The owner is "one of us" -- a comrade struggling to overcome alongside us; and also has debilitated health. The owner is doing the best he/she can. We are all guests here on his/her website; and I'm grateful for what's been begun here -- it's saved me in so many ways.
The website is primarily a peer-support website. There are some 12step members here -- but it's not run as a 12step site via the Traditions. What we all have in common is that we are all anonymous and want to recover. Some use peer support and some use the 12step approach. The owner explained the ownership policies here: http://procrastinators-anonymous.org/node/3035
Regarding functioning as a 12step organization: As a struggling 12stepper myself, I would say that there aren't (yet) enough of us with enough 12step recovery from procrastination to have the time/energy to found a full real 12step fellowship. So we having been making do with what we have here, imperfectly. Most of the 12step recovery has happened via the PA phone meetings.
The real difficulty, as Clement outlined below, is that the entire website cannot function and has to be rebuilt due to its configuration being built in December 2005 on a website program/system that became outdated in 2012. This is nobody's fault. It is what it is. But we have no power to fix it.
I'm just another member here. I'm not in charge of anything, nor do I want to be. But in the interest of being helpful, I've found some ideas for using existing "project" threads, which I've outlined here --
Also, note especially the "bookending thread".
And info with updated Phone meeting schedule.
Helpful threads and mtg schedule here: http://procrastinators-anonymous.org/node/4301#comment-65556
----------------
What Clement said below ... makes sense to me.
Yes, it's a Drupal compatibility issue, and it's not easy to fix. It will likely require rebuilding the site, and the site owner (user Pro) has not had the time yet.
The revisting each day each year is interesting. It would be less ungainly than what we're doing now.
Oh that we were a mature fellowship, like Underearners Anonymous that we had many people mature in recovery and many meetings and business meetings and service boards. But we dont have that. We're not recovered enuf.
I thought i was a few months ago, but i've had setbacks and have only had time recently to work on my own recovery. We're all in that mode, i guess.
I know now that i should not work on this site until i have SPARE time in my life. That means i have enuf recovery that
- the work for my primary job is done on time
- i am spending enuf quality time with my family
- my bills are paid on time
- i maintain my cars, house, and yard on schedule
- i scheduled my physicals, dentist appts, haircuts on time.
- my car registration is up to date
These are the signs that recovery is having its effect. Not there yet, but moving in that direction.
Reposting last list from 2 days ago ... got overwhelmed on Tuesday and took Wednesday off. Woke up very late today from weird sleep schedule. I'm motivated but feeling somewhat time-drunk. Staying in God's will today will help me. Main goal for today: get these job applications out. Anymore time wasted at this point will make it pointless to send them out at all. Need to move forward but at an easygoing, no-pressure pace. Be dependent on God only, and He says: "Do it My Way. Let me show you My Way." Amen.

Anyway, got up early(ish) and did HP, stepwork, juiced, had breakfast, travelled to uni (was late for class), participated fully (to the best of my ability), had lunch, short meeting with fellow student re our presentation, cup of tea, now in library doing research, want to leave, want to eat!!!
Left to do today: home, walk dogs, eat, (feed them too), get to meeting, home, eat (I've given up cake etc as of yesterday... so I think food is going to be a big focus now and if it's healthy (or at least non-sugary) then that's ok, ok?), watch some tv, perhaps whilst doing some domestic chore or other (many to choose from), maybe have a bath, bed.

Whew. Good to be back. Health problems kept me out of pocket but I'm back. It's been a bit hard to get mentally ready for this again as I've been tired and it's a lazy, rainy weekend, but I know it's time. Money is running out.
The recent experience though has renewed me in a way. I guess I needed it, even if drastic. Sometimes that's what it takes to wake up.
I spent the day getting a lot of cleaning done and that feels really good.
Don't want to type up a list as I already have too many lists. Will start fresh on Monday with that. For now, going to start doing things in threes ... what are the first 3 things I can start doing again.
- write user delete script
- test script

Warning: when feelings become the means of thinking, or if we cannot think greater than how wefeel, we can never change. To change is to think greater than how we feel .

RisingUp Day 12 Sun. 11/9/14
Whew. Good to be back. Health problems kept me out of pocket but I'm back. It's been a bit hard to get mentally ready for this again as I've been tired and it's a lazy, rainy weekend, but I know it's time. Money is running out.
The recent experience though has renewed me in a way. I guess I needed it, even if drastic. Sometimes that's what it takes to wake up.
I spent the day getting a lot of cleaning done and that feels really good.
Don't want to type up a list as I already have too many lists. Will start fresh on Monday with that. For now, going to start doing things in threes ... what are the first 3 things I can start doing again.

Maintenance tasks, do what works for me, think good thoughts
someone said “all action is born in thought, life is reflection of
thinking”“Life is a process--just one thing after another. When you lose
it, just start again.”R.Carlson
"Once you feel the way you think, you begin to think the way you feel. This continuous cycle creates a feedback loop called a “state of being” We could also say that the process of continuously thinking and feeling and feeling and thinking creates a state of being, which produces effects on our reality.And those particular memorized feelings contribute to all our personality traits.
Warning: when feelings become the means of thinking, or if we cannot think greater than how wefeel, we can never change. To change is to think greater than how we feel . To change is to act greater than the familiar feelings of the memorized self." from Breaking the Habit of Being Yourself by Dr. Joe Dispenza

The ’3Ts’ aka ’Timed Task Tomorrow’ method - 3 questions before doing something online:
Is it Timed (set a timer)? Is it a Task? If it's a sudden impulse, can I act on it Tomorrow?
hazyjane CI thursday 6th november
I'm at the library but I've yet to get started on any work, but I did get a new high score on my annoying meme game (addicion comes in many forms).
Need to get myself going, with the reader's report I started yesterday. Progress not perfection!!!!
Focus on positives.
Thanks P-A for being part of my recovery.
