Dirtyepic, I feel the same as you xx

In other news I have been procrastinating massively and haven't started my essay which is due in Thursday. done a tiny bit of reading but have just been avoiding it hugely. I am fairly sure it will be !!!! now(all my own fault) and am debating what to do................

Hope your day goes profitably.
Procrastination is an interesting thing (and you can procrastinate very successfully trying to work out why you procrastinate:p) There must be a reason why one procrastinates even when whatever it is is something one wants to do.

Its a discussion we often have with the mentors - I have concluded that when come up with the ultimate solution to procrastination I will be able to construct a seminar and make b****y millions:j

Speaking of which Mrs B!!;) They were going to make a decision about hosting some challenges again on the Matrix - and were going to get back to me yesterday ........................... could you give him a cuddle at breakfast and remind him??:rotfl::rotfl:

Off to write a couple more bits needed for the script revisions - so have a Wonderfull Wednesday matrixettes.

Today my HUUUUGGGEEE frog is to figure out how to create MP3 files to use on the Matrix - so fingers crossed.

Well done on getting all your presentations done, and thanks for offering to spruce my CV up a bit.

I really need to go to bed now as I am just wasting sleep time doing nothing in particular. #notgood (in Twitter speak! )

Didn't say I'd spruce it ip, I said I'd review it... You'll be the one doing the work! And you need to do your linkedin stuff at the same time...

DS1 has decided that today is going to be his "camping sleepover" night from the 50 list - so in the course of today I will get into the attic and find our tent and then "pitch" it in the living room and let the boys sleep in it tonight.

BTW its a two man tent and we don't have a garden to pitch it in and DS2 is just three so inside camping it is LOL

Inside camping! Oh I seriously do love the sound of that. And I love that DS1 is checking over the list and deciding what to do .... have a great day, MG and all

MG - that's not camping that's Glamping

Still feeling tired, DS woke this time (I suppose a change from DD is as good as a rest <rollseyes>) and I had to sit with him to settle him off to sleep.
A day off for me although a friend of DS is coming over to play so it might as well feel like work :rotfl:
Going to finish tidying up the garden, my poor grass is so scorched and dry I don't really need to mow and clean the bathroom. Also have some planning to write up too. Livin' life on the edge eh?! :rotfl:
OK off to get another coffee......I think I should have bulk bought some Aldi Red Bull :eek:

Have a great day everyone

Hi
if FW or Mr FW are around, I have sent an email as I still can't get on the Matrix since he moved it or whatever it was he did last week.

Morning All, what a glorious day it is. Today I will not procrastinate or engage in displacement activities. If i get my CV done today then I will have the rest of my staycation to enjoy.

Raj Persaud writes a whole chapter on procrastination in his Motivated Mind book. It opened my eyes to why Mr C doesn't get things done. I am not normally a procrastinator and it is very rare that I put off things that I have to do. However Mr C does this a lot. Raj Persaud talks about how it tends to be perfectionists who procrastinate. It is easier to say that something hasn't been done, than to do it to a standard that the person involved would not be happy with and risk criticism. Made sense to me. He also talked about how people make things bigger than they actually are when thinking about them and thus overwhelming themselves.

I have also started to create my TADA lists instead of my TO DO lists. It's much nicer and more motivating to see your TADA list grow instead of the TO DO list growing and becoming never flippin ending!
Yay! Scaredy Cat : It's a list you do when you've actually done something. It is most motivating. I can't really show how TADA sounds but is a triumphant and most satisfactory sound.

scaredy cat and dirtyepic Here is the sound of a TADA
MG why not make the camping even more fun by giving the boys a big sheet and they have to work out how to make a shelter with nothing more than the sheet and any furniture around the house (dining chairs/coffee table/dining table/blackboard). This was the best game ever we played when my Grandad used to run pubs. We used to use the snooker room when it was closed. My Grandad was most upset one time when we decided that the green baize of the snooker table made great grass and set to putting the blackboard easel on top of it with a sheet over it. Never saw him so mad before or after.

I absolutely have to put my hand up to this one .... things are often really okay once I get down to them.
