Success Stories

It is with joy and grreat relief that I have finally signed my new will. I should have written it after my husband died 10 years ago, but I only got round to contacting a solicitor to do it in October 2021.  Most of the delay since then has been me procrastinating in finding documents and answering the solictior's questions.

This morning I signed my will.  It's a great weight off my mind.

H.

so i've been using the PA chatbox for like 7 years now. and through some emotional work that i'm doing right now, i'm able to see that i have kind of been using action as a big stick to beat myself up with. that's not the whole story: i also enjoy working hard, and i've accomplished some important things for myself. but there is a punitive element that i'm now ready to let go of. 

and letting go of it will probably mean doing less for awhile, or at least doing less of the things that are high priority but unpleasant. 

Last November I was given a project at work. I've been procrastinating on completing it for MONTHS! Well, today I finally finished. I turned it in at exactly 12:00 this afternoon. My brain is exhausted. I doubt I'll do anything else today.

Hello,

I cant say enough about how much procrastinators anonmyous has helped me.
But I can point to 1 specific case.
Filing taxes, has been one of the bane of my existence, avoiding it, and than filing at the last second, and praying i dont get a fine.
Every year its the same deal, i forget how to do it, and the cycle repeats.
This time for the first time, i will file before the final deadline, with significantly less stress, and i have filed all the documents together, so next year i know how to file taxes properly.
Theres no need to panic.

about every 6 months, i reconcile what i'm supposed to have with what i actually have, as a way of checking my month-to-month bookkeeping. 

and things are better than i thought. that is a huge win for me. 

Hi,

This morning i finally after years of procrastination, managed to sit down and rewrite the mindmap i had for an animated youtube series, I had in my mind.
I got it to the point where there is a logical order, of beginning, middle and end, and you can see the connections between everything.
I have managed to take a crazy idea and turn it into something logical that is almost ready for a prouduction ready document, a script, that i can transform into storyboards,  that can be transformed into Animations. or Animated Series from an Idea.

Ok so every week the dean at my school sends an e-mail out to everyone highlighting the a-mazing achievements of everyone. I bet you can guess who's name is NOT on that list ever.

So I thought "heh. I'm sick of this guy I don't even know making me feel bad. I'm going to celebrate my successes even if he doesn't think they are worth sending in an e-mail!"

So here this is. Each Monday, feel free to put in your successes, either big or small. We are all on our own journey and shouldn't measure ourselves with someone else's yardstick.

I haven't been on here much lately, because I've given up my job that was causing me so much stress and the pressure on my time has been considerably eased.

I've also been wary of  spending too much time at my computer, so instead of checking in here I've been writing a list on a wipe-off sheet stuck to the fridge door and (mostly) only coming on to my computer as a leisure activity in the evening.

Most of my life appears to be totally out of control, but I'm pleased to announce that I have achived my Diploma in Computing.  Ive got three more modules and a project to do to get my degree.

 The two modules I did this year I got a distinction in one, and missed the distinction by 4% in the other.  Considering that during the latter course my husband passed away, and I got severe depression, I am delighted to have something I can be proud of.
