I have not posted in such a long time....but I have been here lurking and reading and admiring so many of our members for so many different things. I need to desqualour my life and my various level 1 messes. Not sure if this is the right board or if I should be posting in listzilla or in one of the blogs... I have a problem with paralysis.... I have a problem with resistsnce... I have a problem with focus......
I need to start somewhere... There is stuff I need to accomplish for work tomorrow and I need to look after myself and my doggy... S here i go.... will post as I get going....

Another day, another new start. Feeling anxious. Not ready for work. Did not do anything useful after yesterdays last post. It is 3.51am and I have had coffee and a not so quick look around here. Must do some of my grading and get ready to leave by 7.30am. Three and a half hours. I can choose to do something. Here is a plan: 30 minutes grading 15 minutes getting ready another 30 minutes grading 15 minutes house Then perhaps check in again....

5.46 am and have done 30 minutes grading and 30 minutes housework. Have also wasted some time surfing, trying to find an anwser to a trivial question related to the grading. I guess I have done something useful and have also wasted about 45 minutes.... GRRRRRR. Enough! Back to grading untill 6.30.... then get ready and perhaps just a little more grading before I go. 4.45pm and I have been busy. Next: - Collect stuff from outside staffroom
- print and photocopy stuff for tomorrow
- pack sachel and go home
- buy coriander and yoghurt on way home
- feed and walk doggy
- feed self
- see mother
- post again with further plans

Celebrate your victories, #wtg#
Small steps, take breaks, don't focus on what you don't get done, but on what you do.
You can continue to do it.

Wednesday morning..6.49am. have been up since 3am. Surfing.... BUT I have had breakfast and coffee and have given the doggy a quick walk. Yesterday I was very busy teaching until about 3.30pm then wasted an hour or 2 chatting, surfing and before doing some errands. Spent some time with Mother and was so exhausted and flustered that I had to go to bed at about 9pm. No maintenance, no self care, no grading, no preparation, no desqualouring I want to do these things but time and time again I find that I am either so exhausted by the job that I am unable to do anything OR that when I do have an extended period of free time I do not use the time in a productive way. Next again. I need to do my shower 2 shoes routine and get myself to work so that I can think what I will teach today. I hope that I can wing it somehow. I am having a huge difficulties starting my grading and organizing my notes and something will be said about this soon by my employers. Onwards!!!!
