I used to drive my cohort group in college crrazy because they'd all be like, "Oh man, I haven't even started that paper yet. Have you, Katie?" And I'd be like, "I finished it." Yep, I was THAT person. Annoying, I know. But I'm sort of psychotic about finishing things.<br /><br />However, I would LOVE a timer! Because I do find myself procrastinating on a smaller, day-to-day level. Like, it takes me at least thirty minutes to get in the writing gear. I piddle aroun don the internet first. A timer would be great!Katie Gansherthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09150375338556869812noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4757067787158700689.post-16885562019973144792010-06-12T21:38:12.560-05:002010-06-12T21:38:12.560-05:00You are very organized my friend!

When I sit down at my computer, there are usually at least three (but usually more) things I want to accomplish, so it helps me too, to set a time limit and work on each project. Sometimes I'll space those out with tasks around the house or something that requires me to get up and stretch my legs so it doesn't feel like I'm sitting so long and it doesn't make my eyes blurry :)Cindy R.

I use to write in morning the 3 things I need to accomplish that day, AND my 3 successes from yesterday, and a few gratitudes. It really worked to keep me on track because I had a sense of accomplishment that speared me to keep doing. <br />Then I started blogging and my morning ritual kind of fell apart. After Boot Camp I'll get back on track again, hopefully!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4757067787158700689.post-22551459347464409072010-06-10T21:03:10.994-05:002010-06-10T21:03:10.994-05:00Thanks for the link.
