20 Days

I'm procrastinating. I know, I shouldn't. But I am. I have about 6 boxes packed and I'm leaving town in the morning to head to my hometown to have my G.A. 5 year pinning (celebration of recovery). I'll be gone 4 days. Perhaps spending time with my best friends will help me get motivated to get through my long list in my red notebook so I can move out of my apartment on time, get assignments done, and finalize all my planning. I've had a pleasant distraction of guests for several days. I've been able to help them out and distract myself from my needs. Not a healthy plan, but sometimes a break is necessary.

So, I imagine I'm not the only procrastinator out here. So, some ideas... Back to my red notebook. Never put it down. Even if I have five minutes free. I can be making a phone call or sending an email. Ask for help. Don't let your ego get in the way. Ask what you need help for. For me, it's both packing and moving. I even asked people for boxes. Mind as well save $. Prioritize with deadlines. Things can't just move to tomorrow because some things require a certain advance notice. Make sure you are on top of those. And don't forget - get those legal documents drafted!!!
