Miscellaneous Stuff

This is a *free* telesummit. I just learned of it and am posting it on the PA website because, while under-earning is certainly distinct from procrastination, it seems that many self-employed people may have difficulties with procrastination and that under-earning may be a common situation among us. I am familiar with several of the presenters, who I think are terrific. So I thought this might be a helpful resource for folks.

With this site, thankfully, I have seen progress. But/And the day will always come when I will not want to leave the house for any reason, other than it burning down, heaven forbid.

That is why I need someone to check in with and visa versa every day, every week day, etc. who suffers as I do or similar so we can buddy up and help each other.

My friend and I are doing this now, but she will return home to another country soon (I'm in U.S.) and I will miss her, but that's a fact.

The guidance counselor called today and told my mom I'm in danger if not graduating high school. My counselor can't understand why I'm getting almost all Fs and Ds when before I was a pretty average A and B student. I'm going to the doctor tommorrow so they can decide whether I'm depressed or crazy. My moms convinced to do what the doctor says, even if it means being put on anti-depressants. How do I explain to the doctor I'm a chronic procrastinator when chronic procrastination isn't even recognized as a disease?

Its the year end and I am ready for my year end shopping.  On my wish list is a new laptop. I thought I would ask the opinion of fellow PA members. Which laptop are you planning to buy this year ? Which one would be a good buy ?

Well, today is Thanksgiving.  I fear my thoughts have not been very thankfully oriented. 

This morning I got up for the 7:30 phone bridge, but no one was there.  I guess I had misunderstood what had been said.  I thought they said it would meet, but evidently they said it would not meet.  Disappointment.

I was in a bad mood yesterday, and my body was paining & head was heavy and hurting. 

Cause: Well, the problem is at work. I'm in the IT industry(in India). I don't like what I'm doing. I've just started out, about 3 months back. Everyone says I'm lucky to have a job when most of my classmates are looking for one or have landed one with a lower pay. It's not the best company, but it's not a bad company. Well recognized too.

Greetings everyone!   As the leaves fall from the trees, please let a few dollars, coins, or Euros fall from your pocket into the PA coffers.   OK, that's pretty corny but there are costs involved in creating and maintaining this web site.   Pro does many many hours of work on this site and also pays the web hosting fees and domain name fees.   Please contribute what you can to the costs and keep the site alive.   I know this site helps me a lot and I want to keep it going forever, and I hope you do too!  

I am not sure if this should reside in the Misc. forum but will leave it here for now as I do not want to distract others.

In addition to a life long problem with procrastination I find myself in midlife with a not uncommon reassessment of self. I won't go into detail here as this not the appropriate venue. However as this searching journey relates to procrastination I do want to share some ________ (fill the blank) if not other reason than to get them out of my head. My theme will be Christian based and what I am receiving and striving to give as well.

OK enough intro.

I wonder if anyone else has the same problem I do. I procrastinate greatly from any telephone calls. I even panic whenever I hear the phone ring and my stomach twists up. I have to take deep breaths if I have to make a call. And If there is no deadline to when this call must be made, I just keep on delaying it until it is embarrisingly late and I'm too embarrassed to call. It is becoming a real problem. What can I do?
