pro's LAST check-in - 11:30pm
I bought a Sirius radio. I've wanted one of these for a long time. I get so bored when I drive long distances, and I hate commercials. Now I need to find someone who can install the car kit.
Bed now!!

pro's CI - 10:30pm
I need to get ready for bed immediately. I cannot stay up late again. I desperately need sleep.

Once again I got derailed and spent a good chunk of the afternoon surfing the 'net. The bright side on that is that two days in a row, I have managed to jump off that train to Procrastination Town and get back to work. Usually, once I start slacking, it's all over.
I have a half-hour or so to go. I'm going to quickly review the sites and maybe I'll have a few minutes to at least start on my monthly report. I've got the document created and ready to go.

8:50am CI for Lark
Hi everyone. I hope you do well today. Last night I set a timer for ten minutes, and went through the pile on my table. Alot of stuff went directly into the trash! It's still not cleared, but it's much better. Perhaps I'll use the timer for more projects.
To do:
morning routine
spiritual time
(X)put out trash
speak to friend about price quote I got for him
try to finish work project A
work minimum of one hour on project B
arrange to do other things on an errand to town, or have friend who lives there pick up the thing I
need
spend half an hour in kitchen
check in here again
Didn't do badly today.
Aside from slacking a bit on my job tasks, I did okay. Only thing, more job things are scheduled tomorrow and beyond, and things will get stressful when they begin to stack up. I REALLY hope to cross off some work stuff in the morning. Good night everyone.
Timer
I love using a timer. It doesn't always work, but it's frequently very helpful in building momentum on an unpleasant task or shifting to a different one. Plus, it helps give me an idea of how long things take, since I am very bad at estimating task duration.
Good for you for working on your pile.
Timers work
Yup, so often I'll set the timer for fifteen minutes or so, and I'm often willing to do another block of time on that task when it rings. MUCH better than stewing over it not getting started. Another thing that really works is keeping a log of one's time through the day. It can be very humbling, and always shows why "this" or "that" didn't get done. I think time logging should be done cautiously, however, like the Vulcan mind meld thing from Star Trek. Both are great, but too much of either will burn you out! Be well.
