Looking for accountability partners (task check in) #2

I looked at finances today and dealt with mail on the subject. I need to shred some stuff and clean off my desk. I also did some art today so that I could relax. It's nice and sunny but very cold. I hope everyone is staying warm.

Yesterday was okay. I spent the entire morning beta testing an app for depression/anxiety based on the Feeling Good/Feeling Great books by David Burns. He's been talking about this app for a while and it was pretty cool to see it. Not at all what I had imagined it would be, much more complex. After that, I ate lunch and went for a walk. My meeting in the afternoon was great. I submitted a quote, it was accepted, and now I need to do the work. I also completed a cooking experiment. I did not work on revisions or my NaNo project. I did dishes but have a backlog to work through again. Why is it so hard to keep up with habits?

I am not sure about today. We had talked about going out of town but I suspect by the time my husband is ready, it will be too late to bother with the drive. I am trying to decide if I should remind him now or just forget about it. At the very least, I will
1. Do dishes
2. Finish processing veggies
3. Work from yesterday.

I think I might have mentioned this but I’m going to meet my daughter next weekend in the mountains for a visit and some hiking. I’d like to leave town with a clear mind so this weekend will be spent getting things in order: house cleaned, errands, laundry, meals cooked and frozen, etc. If I have any spare time I will catch up on my therapy reading and homework.

I hope everyone has a good weekend

How did it go?

I hope you get all the energy you need to do the house work, cooking and more this weekend, so that you can really enjoy the next. Hiking in the mountains is wonderful!

I didn't remind him and he didn't remember so we stayed home. I got a lot of yard work done as well as my three tasks. I may focus on yard work this week because it may be the last window of good weather for it this year.

1. Review schedule for week.
2. Walk
3. Revisions

I had a lot of rheumatic pain yesterday, fingers, toes, back. It has been windy, more or less, and raining for weeks. Typical "rheumatic" weather. I went to bed without writing my Monday plans. I will take it easy today. First of all I will sit down and watch TV, take my pain seriously. After that I will do the dishes. Vacuum the living room and dusting. Relax as much as I can.

I wish everybody a good day!

I’m so sorry you were in such pain yesterday. I hope your pain eases up soon.

Sunflower123 · Nov 08, 2021 at 03:45 AM

I am still working on clearing my slate for this weekend. The usual stuff. In addition, I have 6 medical appointments for my family. I do, however, have some fun things and social events planned for the week so that’s a bright spot.

I hope everyone has an incredible week.

Deilla · Nov 08, 2021 at 03:49 AM

I took a shower this morning and I did some art. Later I have a therapy session. I need to go through my mail. I will try to get some rest now. It's early. I didn't sleep very well. I hope everyone has a good day.

I didn't do much from my list. I read a novel which was good until I hit the end. Today I will get back to work!

1. Revisions.
2. NaNo
3. Dishes

Thank you for thinking on me. I have had fever, so it is possibly some kind of flu. I am vaccinated, so may be it will not be so bad. I will see how it goes tomorrow. If I am able to do things I will make a list then.

Be well!

I hope you are feeling better today, GoGo2.

Really not sure what I did yesterday. I organized some future work, reviewed notes, went on a picnic, went for a walk, did some errands, some reading. By three, I want to do nothing and after dinner, I am ready for bed. I am not sure how to change that. I tend to fool around on my phone during those times and would rather shift to something more constructive.

I did not do NaNo or the revisions I meant to do. Today I have two meetings, neither of which require preparation.

1. Find writing exercises.
2. Use my lists.
3. At least five minutes on revision I don't want to do.

Deilla · Nov 09, 2021 at 08:23 AM

I went for a long walk yesterday. I want to go on another walk today. I might go for a drive too. I don't have much work to do around the house. I've been staying on top of it. I might have to clean a litter box. That is all. I hope everyone has a good day today!

No, I am still in pain, but the fever has left me. I will try to come into a routine again from tomorrow.

I will only fill the dishwasher and declutter. It is a start. I may have to go to the grocery. I don't have much food left. We'll see. It will be good if it is possible to delay it one extra day.I don't want to bother familymembers to do it for me. They have more than enough to deal with in their own life.

I wish everybody good luck with their doings!

Yesterday was ok. I am working on things even if they are not the things I mean to be working on. It all needs to get done. One meeting was rescheduled. I almost skipped the second but am glad I went. I am not sure about today. There is free access to a set of lectures, today only, and about eight I am interested in, but I'm not sure I want to spend all day watching videos. I have one meeting and one errand.

1. Watch a few videos.
2. Revisions. Finish page 2.

3. Continue with task list.

Deilla · Nov 10, 2021 at 02:53 PM

I cooked a couple of meals, cleaned my kitchen, took out the trash and picked up my meds. I also started cleaning off my desk. I got most of the papers shredded. I want a break now. I'm tired. I hope all of you are well.

Possibly two meetings today, back to back, but I suspect the second will be cancelled. I am still resisting my revisions. Maybe today? I feel a little frustrated that the best hours of the day will be lost to online meetings. I also have some annoying odds and ends to deal with, some of which I've already forgotten. Today I will have a not-do list.

I will not spend more than 60 minutes on my phone.
I will not stress about how I am not doing X when I am doing Y.
I will save my low energy task for this evening when I don't feel like doing hard work.

For to-do,

I will do something outside, possibly yard work.

Revisions
Insurance

I had an eye appointment this morning. Everything went well. I'll get my new glasses in two weeks. My mom came with me. We went to the food back afterward. I received an abundance of canned goods and a fresh pineapple. I am so happy. I will have to cook though. I think I can since I am walking now. I think I can stand to cook. So this is a sign. I can be normal again. I hope everyone has a wonderful day.

hvert · Nov 12, 2021 at 06:38 AM

Yesterday wasn't bad. I stayed away from doing things on my don't do list and did most of my to-do list, though I do wish I'd spent more time outside than I did. Today I will spend more time on revisions and using my list.
