Feeling stuck. It's 11am and I haven't yet started "working". Makes me think that I am inherently lazy although I have a lot of historical evidence of my ability to put in substantial effort when necessary. I need to make a call and send out a few emails. I have spent the morning working out, creating a workout log and updating it. I made breakfast and cleaned up afterward. I then checked my email and then came on PC and saw the post about the personality test, so I took it. I feel guilty. I am currently unemployed and part of me thinks, "no wonder you're unemployed because you're so lazy." I know this isn't true but I feel like I am being unproductive.

Part of my problem is that I didn't make a to do list for today. I am a meticulous person (which was confirmed by the personality test) and I am perfectly comfortable with this trait. With this understanding, I can see how important it is for me to create a daily to do list and to do so the night before. Having said all this, I am glad I stumbled upon the personality test because taking it helped me get a better understanding of who I am. No surprises but powerful to see my top 10 traits in black and white. I read somewhere that one of the keys to happiness is to play to your strengths. Seeing this description gives me a good sense for the types of activities that I can undertake that can help me feel good about myself.

OK, I'm going to create my "to do"list and cut myself some slack for doing enjoyable tasks this morning that are in fact very productive for my development as a person.

Thank you PC for having a place where I can sort through my feelings!
