Looking for accountability partners (task check in) #2

hvert · Jul 29, 2021 at 06:06 AM

Trying not to get stressed about everything I have to get done today. I just looked at my to-do list and decided only two things *have* to get done before I leave. Well, three. Or four.

1. Pack and load the car.
2. Make sure my husband has something to eat while I am gone.
3. Freeze anything that will go bad while I'm gone.
4. Laundry

I overslept, so my free choice item was good to have before I went to the Gym. After the Gym I needed to rest as well, but I can do more at the Gym now than before and I feel more awake when I am doing work in the house or am at my office. I think I have managed to find the right balance between activity and rest that is fit for me. My aim is to try to continue to not overdo, but stay in what seems to be the right "doze" between activity and rest.

My plans for tomorrow:

- Jogging.
- Rest for max one hour.
- Put the dishwasher to do it's job.
- Clean the bathroom.
- Office

For now I am going to make some healthy pancakes for my last meal today. After that I will relax with some "nice crime" at Netflix before I put my head on the pillow.

May you all feel that what you are able to do is OK (either little or much)!

Looking forward to my class! The car is all packed. I wish the house was less trashed but can't fix that now.

1. Shower
2. Pack coffee
3. Hit the road.

I hope everyone has a great weekend!

I know it is early, but I have already decided what I will do for tomorrow. I woke up sick this morning, so I have not been able to do much. Luckily I have been able to visit the grocery shop and have bought what I need for the weekend. I also bought a light lunch. Don't feel well enough to make dinner today. I will put the dishwasher to work, while I take more care of myself, relaxing.

Plans for tomorrow.

- A slow walk ouside
- Clean the bathroom.

I wish all of you a good weekend!

Well they dug up a large portion of the front yard but they got that terrible leak fixed. At one point it was leaking 7.9 gallons a minute and the water bill was $352. We jumped on it immediately but the plumber kept dragging his feet. We’ve been customers for 50 years so we’ve built a special relationship. Just glad it’s fixed now. Tomorrow:

1. Float at pool
2. Spa pedicure
3. Clean den
4. Run errands
5. Clean dining room

I hope everyone has a peaceful weekend.

I didn't have a very good start to my day. The only thing I accomplished was opening an Amazon box. Tomorrow I will order groceries and clean litter boxes. Hope everyone is well.

Ohhh, that was a lot! It is always irritating when one has high unexpected bills, but it's good it is over now.

Wish you and your family a really relaxed weekend!

Deilla · Jul 31, 2021 at 06:39 PM

I ordered groceries and cleaned 2 litter boxes. I also opened packages and put stuff away. I've played my game a lot so that I feel good. This morning was a bit rough on me. But I'm better now. Tomorrow, I will:

1. Take out the trash.
2. Change the tray in the big litter box.
3. Cook some meals.

I hope I can do all that. I feel super stressed. I wish everyone well tomorrow.

My brother fell twice yesterday. I was able to help him the first time but the second time he broke his left hip and ankle and fractured his femur. He’ll have surgery today. My plans are somewhat wobbly right now because of that but I think I’ll do things around the house so I can stay close to the phone.

1. Clean house
2. Go through paperwork
3. Cook dinner
4. Check on brother

I hope everyone has a relaxed day.

A new week has started with new challenges and new opportunities.

I have had a good weekend, but am tired.

I will make no special plans for tomorrow other than to do as much as possible in one of my bedrooms and then visit a grocery store. I have an appointment with a dentist. Hope he can fix the broken tooth and that it does not cost too much.

May you all feel that what you are able to do is OK (either little or much)!

I have done work in the bedroom and I have been to the dentist, but I have been tired all day. Generally I have felt better and better after the second vaccine with the opportunity to go out again to meet other people. In my age (I have become old) with different physical illnesses, that is perhaps so life is. It varies how much energy one has to ones disposition. Still I am optimistic. I believe in my capacity to handle "things", ups and downs, and I bleieve in God's grace. I am not afraid to die when that time comes ... My focus is on making the best out of it, use the energy that is available on doing necessary house work, work at my office some hours a week, and to experience good "things" with others.

Plans for tomorrow:

- A slow walk.
- De-clutter as much as I can in my storage room.
- Office.

I have been sitting with mom as my brother has had surgery for his injuries. It’s taken all day. I prepared lunch for her and fielded calls. I did the important thing but I’m so very far behind now. I will go visit my brother in the hospital today and hit my to do list hard tomorrow.

Wishing everyone a peaceful day.

Deilla · Aug 02, 2021 at 02:49 PM

I took my trash out and ordered food. I decided I wouldn't cook. And I didn't change out the tray in the litter box. I'm too stressed. The trash was enough. I tried to put the new plates on my car. I couldn't figure it out. I'll have to go by the dealership in the morning. Hope all of you are well.

Workshop was great. Very physical so I'm feeling quite sore today and not looking forward to cleaning the trashed house which looks even worse than when I left. A little annoyed about that. Also overwhelmed with a ton of stuff. I think I have two meetings today? I already feel like cancelling one.

1. Determine whether tentative plans for next week are feasible or desirable.

2. Clean.
3. Review notes before meeting.

I'm sorry because you have to go through all this. Know from own experience how hard it is for a family when their loved ones are at hospital!

I took out my trash and cleaned the big litter box. That's all I can handle today. Maybe tomorrow I will go by the dealership for my plates. Hope everyone is well.

All items reached, but I was so tired this morning that I needed to go to bed again after breakfast. It did not bother me, because I think that our responsibility to ourselves and to God, first and foremost is to take care of the body (our health) that God has given us. I separate between laziness (to hide away) and a really need that has to be a priority before anything else. After I had regained my strength I went for my walk. When I worked in my storage room, my shredder went to peaces. I will need to buy a new one tomorrow.

My plans for tomorrow:

- Empty dishwasher.
- Gym.
- Some food.
- Take my bottles to the grocery store.
- Go and look for some new curtains.
- Hopefully find a new shredder to buy.

At the breakfast table my head bowed and my eyelids almost closed. I understood that this was just another day when I didn't have any other choices then to follow my body's needs, even if I had other plans. I crept to bed for half an hour.

I think that the most important when such "things" happens is to accept that so it is. It would be a big mistake to start self blaming.

I am on my feet again (without self blame) and am ready to fulfill my to do list for this day.

Yesterday was not too bad. I was pretty sure I would skip my second meeting but decided to go. It was really productive, so I am glad I pushed through. I'm leaning towards not going to the event this Saturday due to rising Covid case counts here. I also got the house more under control.

Today I have one meeting and a zillion errands.

1. List out all the places I need to go today and when.

2. Review GTD app.
3. Workshop proposal.
