Stop Procrastinating and Being a Slug

I am definitely doing it right now. I am feeling all avoidy about this thing I have to write for work right now. A draft of an online module for this class I will be helping to teach in the spring. This module is a sort of online interactive text book chapter that will have some sort of online quiz. I won;t have to write the quiz. I only need to draft some basic content. I just have to focus on one learning objective for this piece but I am trying to come up with examples from my own disciplines (massage and acupuncture) but need some for chiropractic as well. I work with a tons of chiropractors so you would think that wouldn’t be so hard. I have emailed some folks for help but have gotten no responses. Now it is late. Not sure what I could manage to get done tonight. I was sort of groggy this morning and glum and having a hard time getting myself going. I should have worked on it when I has some time this morning. Hrumph. I already asked for an extension till Friday on this project. It was originally due today. It is proving to be a little harder than I thought it would be. Plus I am plagued with a little insecurity about the quality of the work I am doing, and am afraid I am off track. I need to see if a friend of mine who is a DC working on this same project can help me out and provide some feedback. It is frustrating to sort of know what I need to do to get unstuck but still I feel stuck and avoidy. I don’t think I am going to get anything done on this today.

I am being sucked into the time sink hole of the internet! Aaaargh! Things to do things to do things to do…..

gotten quite lazy the last few days. Too much time on the newly working DSL. It is so easy to while away time on this darn computer.

I think I have been doing it again.
Gotta do a bunch of studying for my acupuncture review class and I am having some low motivation. Plus this cyberspace stuff offers way too many ways to procrastinate. I could procrastinate just fine without all of this social networking.

sigh

pretty good at procrastinating. Too bad it isn’t a very useful skill. Time to get on with studying.

time like the present.

if this counts as procrastination but
I think I am being a bit of a slug today. Home sick. Had to cancel on 3 acupuncture patients in the student clinic and 3 or 4 massage clients at my job. Hate canceling on people. But I don’t want to pass on the crud. Even though I think I’m having a much more mild version of it than lots of folks have had. I think I was running a little fever last night though because I woke up at 3am all sweaty—not a usual occurrence for me. And even this morning I just couldn’t regulate my temperature much. Either too cold or too warm.

Just got a call from a classmate and my western clinical medicine class has a quiz tomorrow that just got scheduled TODAY. I kind of had a hunch the instructor would be playing with the schedule more because we are totally behind and off of the plan on the syllabus. Guess that’s an end to my procrastination.

I have actually spent all weekend procrastinating, at least where studying is concerned. I have done nothing for school this weekend. nada, zippo, not a lick of work. Played on the computer a lot. Did make soup and grocery shop and shoveled the neighbor’s front walk (they are away), and walked the pooch, and supported the sweetie. But, really nothing on the main project in my life right now.

Ugh. Should go to bed. Not actually feeling very well, like I might be fighting off a bug of some kind. I really don’t want to come down with the horrible plague so many folks have had this winter in our parts. Bad fever, bad cough, lingering for weeks. Ick. Not me no way. Very busy day tomorrow. 3 acupuncture patients in the morning. Will start again tomorrow night to try to study.

I sat down to try to study about 2 hours ago and have since massaged sweetie’s feet to help her feel less cranky and fix her big toe, talked about the week’s meals, made a pot of cun ming tea, and made some oatmeal with cut up apples and cardamom because In was hungry. I made extra ‘cause I want some for breakfasts this week and then I scorched the pan—oops. Saved the oatmeal though and hopefully the pan won’t be too bad to clean, but now as I sit eating my yummy snack, no studying has happened. I really need a 3 day weekend.

Then I really have to start studying for my herb midterm. Common cold, asthma, stomach pain, vomiting, and diarrhea! Fun stuff. rather a lot of formulas. Luckily this instructor goes off of his quizes for the tests and I’ve been doing well on the quizes.

Many Formulas! Yay Chinese medicine.
