I didn’t answer this yesterday, but I did accomplish the two main goals I had for yesterday:

1. Finish filling out my incorporation paperwork.

2. Pick out and register domain name for a new project I am working on.

I couldn’t think of anything to motivate me, other than I really want to finish this project, because I am excited about it’s potential. That’s enough motivation for me right now.

Well, I missed Monday to do this, so I’ll make it for Wednesday.

Today, I will…

1. Take Alex swimming.
2. Get the mock-up I’ve been avoiding to a client.

Ah, that feels good. I eagerly await this mini-failure!

You know you’re lacking focus when the Monday list emerges on Tuesday. Or later.

Today:

Take a nap.
Recruit volunteers for this weekend.
Go to bed at a decent hour.

Rewards:

Sanity. OK, and maybe chocolate.

Today I am going to (come heck or high water!): post to both of my blogs, finish that article on the proposed garbage fees for the Advocate, vacuum my living room and stay on my diet!

Oh man! Each week, I read this a day or so late, intending to get in on it again! That one time I did do it with you was great! Me and my memory!

Wendy – I can’t help but add to this you are very focused like a laser beam – about 20 of them and it makes a great light show. Please take that in the kindest, most flattering way – you are amazing and very focused on all the tasks you juggle.

Glad you had a great weekend and survived the no-coffee week.

I am going to spent the rest of the afternoon (after my client appointment in a few minutes) working on my book. I for sure will finish the current chapter, and might get into (or finish) the next chapter.

I will NOT spent any time writing blog posts (major book writing procrastination source for me).

I am going to begin sending follow up notes to the contacts I made at the Working Mother Multi-cultural women conference last week in NY.

I am going to continue software testing of our new application coming out next week.

I’m going to spend some time with my husband’s family who has been here since July 18 and first said they were leaving on the 27th and now say they are leaving tomorrow on the 31st.

What happens if I don’t do these things? I guess I’ll have to do them tomorrow.

But seriously, I will not eat that chocolate candy bar that I’ve been eyeing that my sister-in-laws kids have in the fridge.
