  • DNMS - thank you so much for lovely comment , so good to be back!
    I need to check in frequently as am having a naughty moment or two today re kindle books - they are just too easy to buy. True the ones I've bought are 99p but as my dear old mum used to say look after the pennies etc etc. Mind you she also said live a little ...!
    Banking looks tight next month as so much to buy for chln ; one has a birthday, another a school trip which is paid for but need spending money, some resits, etc etc. I have a work trip too which is paid for but, given where I'm headed, a nice warm coat would be a good idea
    Sorry for ramble, see you all tomorrow

    No matter how slow I go I am lapping everyone on the couch.

    How to overcome the urge to procrastinate -

    Identify the most important thing you have to do today.

    Decide to do just the first little part of it — just the first minute, or even 30 seconds of it. Getting started is the only thing in the world that matters.

    Clear away distractions. Turn everything off. Close all programs. There should just be you, and your task.

    Sit there, and focus on getting started. Not doing the whole task, just starting.

    Pay attention to your mind, as it starts to have urges to switch to another task. You will have urges to check email or Facebook or Twitter or your favorite website. You will want to read a magazine or make a call or do another task. Notice these urges.
    But don’t move. Notice the urges, but sit still, and let them pass. Urges build up in intensity, then pass, like a wave. Let each one pass.

    Notice also your mind trying to justify not doing the task. Also let these self-rationalizing thoughts pass. Now just take one small action to get started. As tiny a step as possible.

    Get started, and the rest will flow.

    Found this very useful - I am very addicted to twitter :o
