Not leaving to last minute  — 3 days ago

Today I put leaflets in papers when I got up (in afternoon), then I started delivering some. So I’ve made a start before tomorrow. Which is good.

So...  — 3 weeks ago

I’ve been putting leaflets in quite a few papers, while watching South Park on TV. Sometimes I’ve watched Malcolm In The Middle on TV, or music videos… or listened to music. Once I start I can do quite a few, it’s just making the start, and also if I have something else to entertain me – otherwise it’s too boring!

A question about this goal:
I think one of the things with this, for me, is not just putting things off but when I start to do something, getting distracted. How can I concentrate better?  — 3 months ago
A question about this goal:
Does having a reward for when you've done something actually help? What would be a good reward?  — 3 months ago
A question about this goal:
I think that with some things, the first step always seems the hardest, and that's what causes procrastination, so how do you make that first step?  — 3 months ago
To-Do  — 4 months ago

1. Change bedsheets
2. Shower (often seem to shower ‘cause it can be quick and easy, but actually had a bath recently, used some of a bath thing I got for Christmas)
3. Hoover
4. Tidy room a bit
5. Dust in room
6. Try and clean air hockey table (so it works better?)
7. Listen to audio book (I’ve been listening to it)
8. Write some more of diary (done some, need to keep up with it)
9. Brush teeth

I know what I need to do...  — 5 months ago

I need to A) Set timer for a certain amount of time, and just do non-stop for that time and B) Set myself a reward for when I’m finished.

I’m going off the net now to finish putting leaflets in papers.

To-Do  — 5 months ago

1. Look for new bedding
2. Read and recycle magazine
3. What to get people for Christmas, write cards too
4. What do I want for Christmas, write list A.S.A.P (so time to get the stuff), document in documents on PC, give it to mum & dad (sent in e-mail very early morning, after midnight, on 14th)
5. Wrap sisters’ birthday present, write her card
6. Wash my converse shoes (find out how to do it on the net) (washed on 17th Jan, put them in washing machine without laces in (laces are dirty but might wash them separately), they still look dirty but look a bit better, they’re drying at the moment)
7. See if I can get my Converse to stop squeaking (search net), I don’t always notice but have noticed
8. Dust/clean drawers in room (did on 20th)
