Internet fast

28 August, 2010 - 12:36pm - kromer

Web-surfing is a major part of my procrastination. I feel like for me it's not something that I can manage in moderation, and am wondering if maybe giving up *all* non-work-related surfing would be easier for me.

So, I figure I'll try it out. A 30-day trial seems too hard, so I'm going to try a week to start.

Learning a new skill

20 August, 2010 - 6:17am - bugsy

Hello.

I am on a vacation right now. My friend and I were talking about the things we would like to do in our lives... For so long, I have told myself I am a fake and a liar and someone who doesn't really want to do things, because I haven't been able to get up the motivation to do them...

When I was talking to my friend, I realized that there are certain dreams and aspirations of mine that I have literally been waiting YEARS to begin. And at times when I do take small steps towards them, they are SUCH small steps, which is okay, except then I stop.

little by little

17 August, 2010 - 3:13pm - ouiand

I'm working on a research project, and have lost momentum. I've had it in the past, but largely in concentrated bursts.

One of my largest chronic anxieties is that my 'un-done' becomes 'too-late,' which leads me to create protective walls around what needs my attention most. Since I keep enacting this pattern, I'm hoping to shift this.

Bookend here.

I need a place to bookend. Somehow I thought the daily check in explaination was a bookend and it worked. No long lists, just some simple bookend items here.

pains of a year and gains of lifetime

25 July, 2010 - 11:24pm - shikha_1701

there is nothing encouraging about my physics,chem, and biology books except the rewards of my success and retribution of my failures.

i will lose all my respest if i fail to clear medical entrance exams 2011.and i will get my family backk and my respest back if i do it. this fact should be motivating enough but unfortunately it is not.

so i will record all my progresses and retardations here.and hope that this will motivate me.

The trouble I have got myself into..

2 July, 2010 - 8:52pm - Slowbro

About a month ago I experienced my first manic attack in years. It can make things hard, especially when it makes me prone to errors or worse. Even despite my efforts to do well in a class this led to a horrible performance on a test, which cost me a passing grade, as a result I had to drop the class. This really hurt my confidence and ability to perform.

old job / new job

11 June, 2010 - 7:11am - ndb

I thought I'd make this a special project, because otherwise I think I'll be in trouble.

I need a work-buddy.

9 June, 2010 - 9:54am - vali

Hey, vali here.

I'm a student & I live in Mumbai, India.

I've been thinking about this for a while and I'd like to have a work-buddy. You know, I keep a tab on how your keeping up and you do the same for me.

I really procrastinate about coming online, partly because some things that i read/see really get my spirits down, apart from other stuff.

Anyway, I'd really appreciate anyone coming forward.

We can stay in touch via e-mail, and if you're from Mumbai and it's ok with you, via msgs.

Week Goals

8 June, 2010 - 11:35am - LoiP13

(1) Talk with employment center about job.
(2) Exercise daily.
(3) Journal daily.
(4) Read my books.
(5) Talk with Bible counselor.

Hopefully, I'll actually follow through this time. At the least I will post daily about how I'm doing.
