I'm desperate for a kick in the pants today. Deadlines looming and dooming. Simple, simple tasks like: send in the blasted parking ticket before it incurs extra charges. I keep finding more "important" things to do, because these business related things are so very uncomfortable. I worry and over-think. Time drifts and I get anxious and less clear headed. Now, saying it out loud here, it's out there in the world and I'm accountable. What's that brilliant thing said here...Motivation is floatation...Action is a fraction...no, wait...
MOTIVATION FOLLOWS ACTION!!! Brilliant! I LOVE that.
Okay, I'm chanting as I go deal with The Ickies.
It's so amazing to know you are all out there! Thank you!

Ahhhh...one big, fat ickie thing done. I chose the most dreaded of today's task to do first. It was hard for me to do. But it was much more difficult thinking and worrying about it. I feel lighter. That's a pretty cool feeling. ahhhh...
Taking this little breather and walking around smiling for a few minutes and then another task. I've been avoiding it for a few days, because I'm not sure if I can do it right. I might do it wrong, but right now, it's just another big, ugly box in the way. If I deal with it, it'll be a wonderful, needed appliance that will make my world more comfortable. breathing. holding on to the smile. going. doing now.

Well done tackling Iggy #1. Do tell us - Did you survive your attack on that box? Are things cooler, hotter, cleaner, dryer or did it unleash a multitude of papers, things or bits that need corralling? I love to think of you floating in action and dividing total tasks into fractions. Its great to have you here!

Hahahaha!!! What wonderful notes to come back to! You're all cracking me up! Thank you for the warm, funny welcome!
Friends arrived just as I was finishing the project, so I didn't get to come back here and woohoo! They came over for a Monday night sneak a movie and pizza here in my almost clean living room, which was unusually comfortable with all that BREEZY COOL AIR BLOWING IN THROUGH THAT MIRACULOUS BOX IN THE WINDOW!!! WOOHOO!!!!! I've got air!
What a wonderful feeling to do something that I've put off doing, because I didn't know if I could do it perfectly. And, it isn't perfect. But it's working beautifully. And I did it. : )

You "ate the frog"!!! Good for you.
(From the book, i think it's called Eat That Frog!, which says if you have to eat a frog every day, get up and do it right away first thing to get it over with so you don't dread it so much. "The frog" meaning anything you are not looking forward to doing.)

Croak!!! So funny, mimi! I have a half-hour right now to hunt frogs (if they turn out to be real, I promise to just pet their little heads and not eat them), so... I'm choosing a 1 square foot of space in one of the Big Ickies. There are so many other things I would rather do. I have to walk through the livingroom and the "dining"room to get to the space. I will not succumb to the temptations of lesser things calling out to me for ways to procrasti... off I go.

My half-hour square foot goal turned out to be just trash. But I'm hoping that counts. Of course it does. Doesn't it > • • • Trash counts • • • < Ah, see there it is, that's official. : ) It's still cool enough to go back out there again. off I go. Half-hour, 1 square foot goal.

Trash always counts and if you took the bag of trash out of the house, we will count it twice! Congrats and welcome.
