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.
I really need to clock 6-7 hours today. I'm paid by the hour, so I can't afford to take any more time off. I'm going to include time estimates with each task.
To Do:
Work:
Debug random case and submit for testing - 2 hrs Finish merge of login/signup and submit for test - 3 hrs Read Fuji emails and email status 1/2 hr Review bugs/features and work on one until I reach 7 hrs of work (maybe the case rating feature) 1 1/2
Home: tidy kitchen 1/4 hr tidy living room 1/4 hr walk Wiggie (2x) 3/4 hr prepare and eat dinner 1 hr
Health: eat oatmeal 1/4 hr cardio 1/2 hr
Sanity: baby time 1 hr practice guitar - scales/arpeggio/ligado 1/2 hr guitar - repertoire 1/2 hr read The Sea 1 hr
13 hrs worth of stuff -- something will have to go -- probably reading The Sea and practicing guitar
I'm so relieved to have finished a long overdue writing assignment. I want to translate the relief & lack of anxiety into momentum to get started on the next thing, but I'm still basking in the glory of being done. This pattern happens every time. Then it seems that by the time I stop basking, I'm freaking out again. So, I'm gonna try to get myself on track and focused by posting.

Love how you've organized your task list. Looks like you're really cookin' with the task completion there! Is there a way to cut and paste or print items? I feel like I'm wasting time when I retype things.
Thanks for the support! Today was a good day. The best I've had in awhile.
As for cutting and pasting, if you do subsequent posts as replies to your own messages (I got this idea from Rexroth--many thanks!), then the last post pops up when you go to enter the new one, so you can copy & paste from there. If you do the posts as new comments, you can copy from your last post before clicking "add new comment" and then paste it in. I used to spend a lot of time messing w/my to do list before I started doing it this way. I like it.
Thanks! I knew there was an easier way... I hate wasting a lot of time doing things the hard way. I'd rather waste time stacking piles on my desk for the tenth time, watching funny You Tube videos, making lists, searching for fun earrings to purchase online, petting my cat or continually reheating my coffee! ;) ha

Hi Mollie,
