Thomas C.--check in
I'm checking in, even though it's 7:17 p.m. I took care of my daughter and her friend today, and got exactly two papers graded. I need to get a bunch more papers done, because I need to get the rest of them done tomorrow.
And I don't want to time-binge. I've been looking at my behavior, and I would say I do a lot of time bingeing. I generally try to create large chunks of time to get work done, and don't break them up. But in fact, if I had graded four papers a day, the papers would be done now, and I wouldn't have this backlog. I never called it time-bingeing, but I'm beginning to think it is.
Anyway, I plan to do the dishes, then start grading. In fact, maybe I'll break them up with each other: put clean dishes away, grade a paper; put dishes in dishwasher, grade a paper; do the other dishes, grade a paper.
I'm sort of flopping around on this, so I'm just trying different things. Thanks for listening.

Got side-tracked today by emotional family email which I spent three or fours on dealing with. Maybe should have done at another time, but was weighing on my mind. Important I work on
finances.

Monica's CI 12:20 pm
I'm wiped out from the weekend. I'm only committing to one thing at a time today. If I do that one thing I will add another one thing. I feel a little guilty about it though because my daughter still has a guest in the house. My thinking is that if I was a good hostess, I would have been up early to make sure the house was clean for her and had breakfast ready when she woke. At this very minute I should be in the kitchen fixing a nice lunch. But as it stands I haven't gotten out of bed and I need to at least take a shower. So while I may feel guilty, the guilt feelings definitely aren't powerful enough to be motivating.
[] Shower
If I can't do it perfectly, I'll do it anyway. If I can't do it all, I'll do some. If I do nothing, nothing gets done.
"I don't feel like it" is a poor sacrifice for your dreams.

Rexroth 21.54 GMT
Didn't do any work on landlord files and did not have time for shopping as spent nearly 30 minutes in the library. Have felt very tired which is result of not going to sleep until after midnight last night.
And so to bed, well farly soon anyway.
