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.
Today was unbelievably long and tiring. Reached work at 9:30AM and came back home at 8:30PM. I even have some leftover stuff to finish before 7AM tomorrow, so I'm going to call it a night and wake up early next morning to finish it off.
Night everyone. Keep ticking off those to-dos :-)

Now it's time to get something done. 4:30 CI ONly one more iten checked off since last time but it was as important one. Will check back at 5:30. 6:15 CI-Washed all the outside windows-yah! Taking a break for dinner. 7:45 CI-Just finished with dinner and played with the dogs for awhile. I want to work awhile before I go walk. I will check in before I go at 8:30. 8:45-leaving to go walk. I'm not quite through with the sectioin of the P & T document I'm working on but I'll finish when I get back.
Here's today's list:

STT Check date to register for conference

I got a lot done today and will transfer what's left over to tomorrow. I have got to get to bed now. I don't feel really tired but I know I will be tomorrow. I'm still struggling with going to bed a little earlier and at a routine time. It seems pretty silly, but it really is difficult. I have done well with getting up everyday at 8 am. My husband is amazed by that and my daughters have been surprised by me being on time for things. So that's been fun!
I need to complete the second part of something I don't want to do at all, yet I said I'd do it. I shouldn't whine, huh? This week's tentative list has alot of stuff I've been procrastinating, and if most isn't done I'm going to be in a financial squeeze by month's end. The bad thing is, it's entirely avoidable. Today: morning routine meditation go finish the dreaded task call client about bill tidy up house on hour on project A when I return check in here
Things didn't turn out the way I'd planned today. Several things got done, but dealing with my sick relative delayed the other things. Tomorrow should be okay. Good night everyone.
Papers filed at court. No real problems and the job is done and so am I. I'm exhausted and need to rest. It's not the action itself, anding over some papers and some money and getting a receipt, it is what it means. I'm going to look at my procrastination in that way i.e. what particular actions mean to me and see where I get.
K, I've managed not to complete any of my goals since I've started posting here, which is not to say that I haven't been getting stuff done. It is imperative that this week I meet a goal of clocking 50+ hours no matter what. I need to offset a shortfall in last week's hours so that bills won't get out of control and I can maybe start setting aside some money for estimated taxes.
Private Stuff
I will review a CV, write a recommendation email and answer some other emails for the next 45 min. I am going to do it. Yeah!
Yeah!
That's the spirit, AriGold!
Tell us how things go :-)
