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 back from my bike ride and relaxing on the pier. I came back early than planned because I'm hungry, and I made a commitment to myself to eat at home rather than eating out.
Part of what I have to do this weekend is cooking stuff to freeze for the week, to bring to work with me. So I'll do that now.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Procrastination is the grave in which opportunity is buried.
Another dull day-thread opener - no graphics, no colors, same old phrase. :(
I put away all the tools I threw all over the floor while putting up the mirror in the bathroom yesterday. I sold a lot of my tools when I moved, but I still have a ridiculous number of duplicates. For example, I have more screw drivers and hex wrenches than any person needs. I stuffed it all back in the toolbox. I'll deal with it another day. Right now I want to get showered and outside.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Procrastination is the grave in which opportunity is buried.
I just checked the weather, and it could not be more perfect out. Sun in NYC doesn't necessarily mean nice - it could be unbearably hot. But it's just 75 degrees out. I'm going over to the pier on my bicycle with a book. (Work? Did I say I was going to do work? Later.)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Procrastination is the grave in which opportunity is buried.
For those of us in the U.S. it's Labor Day weekend. I've been counting on getting a bunch of things done over the long weekend, and now that it's here I've got a whole lot of stuff to do and little inclination to do it.
Gee, I bet I'm the only here who's ever been in THAT boat. ;-)
So I'm trying to figure out what my actual goals are, what I really want/need to get done to feel good about it when I start up the work week again on Tuesday. By the end of the long weekend, I'd like to have:
A balanced checkbook A system in place for writing down how much I'm spending A tidy apartment (not necessarily vacuumed, dusted, etc., but with things in their places) Clean laundry A better comfort level with music for Monday rehearsal New library books and old ones returned Groceries in the fridge Two rounds of weight-lifting done Upcoming tasks organized into GTD system Three walks taken (or other exercise)
And I also want some time to relax, think, and decompress before the school year starts up.
I have to get the library books today while the library is open. Since my car is in the shop, I'll walk there, which will also take care of exercise for today and give me a chance to woolgather & relax a bit (it's very nice out today.) So, next up:
I identified with your post. Every time I have a long weekend, I am filled with plans to catch up on this or that. Usually I end up blowing it. I'll see how well I do this weekend. I have a lot of stuff I can't get away from doing, like laundry.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Procrastination is the grave in which opportunity is buried.
It was beautiful weather in SF too. Just perfect. Probably 75. My house is still a mess AND people are coming over. I have things to do too this weekend. I will just try to do a quick straightening up now -- go play tonight, but tomorrow I'll try to figure out what I can really do to put a dent in these things.
Hah, I've been trying to catch up all week, but I seems something always comes up. I triend to finish a project for work this evening, and I made a medium-sized mistake. I'm going to put that off till tomorrow, fearing doing anything else may cause a bigger mistake. Ugh. Sometimes it's best to put things off till the time is better.

Hi everyone. Yesterday was a hard day for me, yet I managed to make progress. No one was really at fault, just things broke, traffic jammed terribly, alot of people stopped by, etc. I made progress on my big thing for work, and hope to finish it today. My brother and niece are coming to visit, and we're having lunch and visiting our relative in the nursing home. I also have to tidy things up before they arrive, though they aren't bad, but it's amazing how motivated we become to do housework when people are coming! Perhaps I should invite visitors every day or two? To do: morning routine spiritual time house tidying go to bank finish work project order stuff for floor turn off ventilation fan lunch etc. with brother and niece wash dishes check in here

what what to read?
I finished the 7th Harry Potter. What to read?
I could bring my Sirius radio (I have a Stiletto). I should get good reception on the pier.

Long weekend
For those of us in the U.S. it's Labor Day weekend. I've been counting on getting a bunch of things done over the long weekend, and now that it's here I've got a whole lot of stuff to do and little inclination to do it.

A balanced checkbook
A system in place for writing down how much I'm spending
A tidy apartment (not necessarily vacuumed, dusted, etc., but with things in their places)
Clean laundry

O.k., here's the deal
So far, so good -- I got to the library & back, picked up the car, & ate dinner. It was great to get some exercise.
So here's the deal. If I:
Then I get to go into town later this evening & catch a little of the sidewalk concert. Maybe even buy a goodie for dessert.
Pro is right -- in the New York area it is just incredibly nice out. A great send-off for summer!
Falcon
Off to town
Done. Going out to enjoy the rest of this nice evening in town.

how many plan to "catch up" this weekend?
I identified with your post. Every time I have a long weekend, I am filled with plans to catch up on this or that. Usually I end up blowing it. I'll see how well I do this weekend. I have a lot of stuff I can't get away from doing, like laundry.

I wanted (want?) to catch up too.
It was beautiful weather in SF too. Just perfect. Probably 75. My house is still a mess AND people are coming over. I have things to do too this weekend. I will just try to do a quick straightening up now -- go play tonight, but tomorrow I'll try to figure out what I can really do to put a dent in these things.
Catch up?
