Procrastination; Its what I do best.

Procrastination seems to be one of my higher points in the last week. I have so much to say and so little time to say it, or something like that.  Basically I’ve been slacking in a lot of things. No. I must change that way of thinking – I haven’t been blogging lately because my life is so much more busier in other places. For instance, I haven’t blogged because I’ve been spending the *little* time I have online now either checking emails, playing on stupid facebook applications, entering my sweepstakes (which even that, is less and less), and trying to get stuff taken care of elsewhere. Not to mention I have worked 1.15 hours at KGB in the past month. >.<

So, what’s the best policy with blogging? Today, I think I’m going to do something different. I’m going to write multiple entries – all short and to the point. It should make for prettier, easier reading.

Accomplishments for 09/08
  • Got Nickolas to school on time. No melt downs. No throwing fits. No anxiety.
  • Called the Wisconsin Quit Smoking line – need to call back. I took the first step.
  • Jammed out in the car while driving to take Mike his phone – Driving on my own is an accomplishment in itself that I get to experience every single day.
  • Went to my therapy appointment. I could have canceled or chose not to go, but I didn’t. I went.
  • Went shopping, or browsing, for new car seats for Mikhail with Mike’s mom.
  • Went out to dinner with Mike and his parents. I didn’t think for a second to order exactly what I wanted – sure I want to be healthy and diet, but I’ve gotta indulged sometimes.
  • Talked to Matt’s Mom – who was sitting at Nickolas’ school to see him. I even exchanged numbers with her to set up her taking Nickolas because she misses him. – HUGE Accomplishment. Talking to my son’s dead beat father’s mom… yea that qualifies for HUGE.
  • Packed lunches and got snacks ready for tomorrow’s day.
  • Became anxious about all that happened today – but overcame and let go.
  • WORKED! I worked for 1 hour and 15 minutes tonight. I ACTUALLY worked. I pushed myself to not play online games, not touch anymore Facebook Apps, and just signed in and worked. I made $2.20. w00t

If you like to see more of my daily accomplishments – I’m going to be writing them on my Tumblr Log incase I don’t get the chance to write them on my regular blog. I’m going to eventually try to convert them both together… Click HERE for my Tumblr Profile Page.

The therapist wants me to continue to write out my accomplishments – that way I can build more self confidence in what I’ve achieved instead of looking at all the things I DIDN’T do. It’s a work in progress. I’ve also have to work on looking at things in SMALLER details. Take smaller steps, break things down in smaller processes, etc. Instead of saying “I need to clean today.” … and instead of saying I need to clean the kitchen & do laundry. I can say – “I’m going to do TWO loads of laundry and clean the dishes and the counters.” Break it down to the smallest thing. This way, if I don’t clean ‘the entire kitchen’ I still have a sense I’ve accomplished something. So, although I’ve been procrastinating one thing – I’m accomplishing a lot more in other places in my life.

    Wow. I’m so proud of you. You have came so far from your rant blogs (we all have those) to your accomplishments. You are really doing a lot better and I’m so happy you finally found a good therapist after so many calls. I’m sure life is probably going a lot more smoother and although you’ve been busy doing quite a few things, I think it’s helping out. I hope you still keep doing these types of blogs, I love reading them – honestly (: It’s nice to know that someone can accomplish something so great with self motivation.
