pro's CI - 11:30pm
My apartment has gone to pot recently because I've had some stuff going on in my life and couldn't be bothered with picking it up. I spent this evening putting things away, and it looks much better. I still have a pile of stuff to handle on my desk, but at least it's in a pile and not strewn all over the place. Also, I still need to clean. I did a little bit of dusting, but I need to do some serious dusting, and also clean the floor. The dishes are done - that's good.
I should go to bed now so I can get up for work tomorrow morning.

WELL, IT SEEMS THE MESSAGE BOARD WORKS. OR MAYBE THE IDEA OF TALKING TO YOURSELF IS A BETTER WAY TO DESCRIBE THIS. READING WHAT U WROTE KEEPS YOUR MIND FOCUSED ON THE PROBLEM.
MOST OF THE DAY I FELT LIKE I WAS WALKING IN CIRCLES, DIDN'T SEEM TO HAVE THE MOTIVATION TO MOVE AROUND. NOW THAT ISN'T LIKE ME. BUT I GUESS SITTING AROUND YESTERDAY I PAID THE PRICE TODAY. HOWEVER, THE FIRST OF THE WEEK IS COMING & I AM LOOKING FORWARD TO WORK. YEP WORKING. ACTUALLY, WORKING DOESN'T BOTHER ME, IT IS THE NEGATIVE OF OTHERS. IT FEELS LIKE THEIR SKIN IS YOURS IF YOU HANG AROUND LONG ENOUGH. I HOPE BY SEEING ALL THIS @#$(%^)^) I WROTE ON THE MESSAGE CONTINUES TO ASSIST ME WITH THIS STUFF.
TO DO'S FINISHED:
PUT THE DISHES AWAY
LAUNDRY (DIDN'T LEAVE ANY CLOTHES IN THE WASHER OR DRYER)

Nightwing's CI - 4:03 PM - PST
Urgh. I've been procrastinating on these assignments for three weeks now and I still haven't even started halfway on them.
- 2 (3) Essays for english
- Math assignments 1.7 - 2.5
- Biology optional assignment + study for quiz
I seriously need help starting them. I always feel so anxious at that moment and then divert my attention to another task to get rid of those uncomfortable feelings. -_-

I know just what you mean
Hi Nightwing,
I can definitely relate to "I seriously need help starting...I always feel so anxious at that moment and then divert my attention to another task to get rid of those uncomfortable feelings."
It seems I experience that anxiety time and time again. I keep thinking that once I've started enough times, it will go away. Maybe it will. But I'm beginning to wonder.
Wishing you well!
