Fighting loneliness

6 April, 2012 - 11:06am - Steppin

I've come to realize that my frequent lack of motivation to do stuff like practice, is because of loneliness.

Whenever I'm around inspiring people, I don't really have problems doing what I should. But I live alone and most of my study time I plan myself and do in surroundings where people come and go a lot, so theoretically I could go days without meeting anyone. Things are not that bad though. I do have a couple of good friends, and I'm also somewhat included in a larger group that throws parties and hangs out every now and then.

March 18 -March 31 (14 days)

17 March, 2012 - 2:14pm - Mesmer

I'm going to look back a month from now and regret my choices if I continue this path I am living. I am going to look back a year from now and think to myself, " I could be thin, I could have more college credits done, and I could be closer to graduating." And a decade from now and think, "Oh my god... I'm 30 yrs old with hardly any accomplishments... I didn't finish med school like I promise I would.... "

kaoba's declutter project

14 March, 2012 - 6:58pm - kaoba

I want to get rid of clutter and organize my stuff and have made some progress, but I want to be more systematic.

I had started a 365-day declutter challenge a while ago but didn't continue. I would like to restart it by posting here each day about how it goes.

Anyone else doing decluttering and organizing?

Best,
kaoba

Emily's Daily Plod to be a better Doctor...

6 March, 2012 - 6:18am - Unstuck-ing

Hi All!  I'm Emily and I'm a chronic severe procrastinator and have been on the slippery slope for as long as I can remember.  For much of my life I've been able to cram in lots of things in the last minute (literally) and have gotten through life/school/university's hoops.  From all outward appearances I'm highly functioning.  I'm now a doctor and trying to pass some hard specialty college exams.  My cracks are fast extending out of control.

Living a Minimalist Lifestyle

25 February, 2012 - 2:39am - Miravelle

Having too much of anything is a source of anxiety for me and I feel a sense of control knowing what and where everything is that I own. I've been trying to downsize my life into just the necessities (while still being able to interact normally in society--I don't want to be known as a weird hermit lady who doesn't own a shoes, plates, toilet paper, etc!). You know what I mean, nothing extreme just simple :) I don't want to own anything impractical or unnecessary.

T-200 Walks for 2012: Recycler

22 February, 2012 - 8:23am - recycler

Hi!

Reclaiming my health. My puppy Goldie is now big enough to go on longer Exercise Walks. Today is the first day that Goldie and I walked 3 miles. I had to keep her on a short leash so she wouldn't sled-dog like usual. She kept up and did great. I commit to doing 199 similar walks for 2012, and will try to CI each time here after I finish.

w.i.p.: building 10min. daily routine of clearing out

3 February, 2012 - 3:20pm - wrkinprogrss

Inspired by overdue's success with her living space, I'm going to try to build a routine of doing 10 minutes a day of "clearing out." Anything that I don't definitely want to keep is eligible, but to count, it can't just move from one stack or pile to another--it needs to be noticeably closer to being gone, such as:

Agnus: How Long Things Take

31 January, 2012 - 12:16am - Agnus

BULLSHI* THYSELF NOT!   These are actual recorded times it has taken me to complete these tasks. No matter how much I think or want to believe that, "It will be different this time," IT WILL NOT BE DIFFERENT THIS TIME.  I am POWERLESS over TIME.  Things TAKE TIME.  I TAKE TIME.  It is not wrong to take time to do things.  I am powerless over how long things take.

Overdue's some kinda fitness tracker

18 January, 2012 - 2:39pm - overdue

I know goals should be specific and stuff, but trying to design the perfect goal takes me 100 years. So my goal is to take babysteps towards fitness. I will track what I do here.

Spring Break To Dos

11 December, 2011 - 8:56pm - katia11

Revamped an old thread for prep before spring break and then things to do for it. Can't get too ambitious as I only had a week, but it worked out really well before for winter break.

Comments and encouragement always welcome, btw.
