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'm new to the site and trying "book-ending" for the first time. I'm actually going to get off now and go meet my daughter to walk our dogs. If I leave now I'll be on time to meet her-highly unusual for me! I'll check in for the rest of the evening when I return.
I have been at my dad's house to help after his surgery (which is just where I wanted to be! I love my dad lots!!!. I need to be organized about doing my tasks to make up the time, however.

Well, I at least got started on the to-do list, probably spent about 10 min on it so far. I'd like to do more but it'll have to wait till after my next mtg.

I have a feeling that updating my master to-do list is going to trigger some panicky, overwhelmed feelings. So I need to be ready for that.

I did 3 of the 5 experiments I planned, but I am still quite happy. I'll finish the rest tomorrow morning. My tasks for this evening:
* Cook diner * Collect stuff that has to go to the rubbish dump (next thursday) * Place an advertisement for the diner table on Marktplaats.nl * Wash clothes
I probably won't be online tonight anymore (for my own sake...), so I'll report on my progress first thing in the morning.

Hi everyone. It's a nice day here, and hope it is for you too. I'm actually been pretty good at my check ins lately, except I'm not satisfied with the quality--or the extent I've done them.

Today: (X) morning things (X) put out trash meditation sort laundry tidy up house (BETTER!!) tidy up workshop (BETTER!!) visit sick relative complete one section of project A finish projection sheet for client A get price quotes for client B, finish projection catbox wash dishes check in here

Done: * Make appointment with Steve * Arrange some household matters
Partly done: * Redo QR experiment. I needed to change something in the design. Trying to include 5 more subjects before 5pm. Can't redo the PC analysis until I have finished the experiments, so that will have to wait until tomorrow.
My first use of the "book-ending" tool. I started my working day with introducing myself on the PA forum. Of course I shouldn't be doing this at work, but I hope it helps in gaining momentum for my new anti-procrastination attempt. Now it's time to really start working. My plans for today:
* Finish QR experiment * Redo PCA * Make appointment with Steve * Arrange some household matters

Hi everyone. It's a nice day here, and hope it is for you too. I'm actually been pretty good at my check ins lately, except I'm not satisfied with the quality--or the extent I've done them. "Ah, good enough.." Does anyone else do this?

(X) put out trash
meditation
sort laundry

tidy up workshop (BETTER!!)
visit sick relative

not being satisfied
I tend to obsess about what I haven't done, instead of being proud of what I have, and I think that's a big part of my problem(s).
