· Filed under Monday Motivation, Working from Home
Normally I do a Menu Plan Monday post, but this week has two out evenings already planned, there are plenty of leftovers, and my family may just have to fend for themselves.
Instead, I am tackling my procrastination this week. Taking my cue from Wendy at eMomsAtHome, I am making my Monday Motivation post. Here are a few things I MUST accomplish today:
Post meet results
- Put final edits/tweaks on a client site
Have a conference call with another client- Post at Essential Keystrokes and
Weary Parent
Clear out at least 25 messages from my inbox
Sounds easy doesn’t it? Factor in there that my kids are on a two hour delay for weather, then I have to take the youngest to preschool at 1:00 and then I have to leave for afternoon pickups/gymnastics at 3:30. Starting to look like a swiss cheese kind of day.
I’ll be back throughout the day to mark off what I have gotten done.

Woot! Great idea to post separately - why didn’t I think of that?! I’m going to make a Monday Motivation icon - thank YOU for the inspiration!

You’re welcome! I forgot to assign myself a penalty for not getting something done. Gotta think about that one.
[…] What’s the point of a to-do list if it doesn’t encourage you to do things? This is the idea of Wendy’s Motivation Monday. Post a list of things you need to do and, if you’re feeling brave, set a penalty for not completing the tasks. I found this through Char and her first go at this and the crossed off aims show how hard this is. Not that it is not worth it, of course, in fact a failure or two should only strengthen the resolve and encourage you to try harder next time. […]

Here’s the deal - I got some of my initial list done, plus some stuff that wasn’t on the list done. Overall, not a bad day.
