I’m not doing very well at summarizing at the end of the day and publishing. I think that would help to cap the day off and feel a sense of completeness. Instead of vague anxiety that I’m not doing enough.

Tuesday
Yesterday was kind of a bust. I did more than nothing. I moved a couple things along and I got organized for the week. More or less. Let’s see what’s in Outlook tasks. If I called this like Dana’s blog it’d be something about a slacker I guess. I am not a slacker! But am I really not?
Pick a half hour task.
Hey I made major progress on getting my flights and hotel booked.
Pick another half hour task.
How about MC OM.
Figure out what’s in the folder. A draft folder with appendices and text in it. Then a draft outside of that subfolder. And 2023 appendices. And another draft. Figure out which one is most current. What else is here. System changes memo. Samsara – a cut sheet maybe?
When you want to make a change, start small.
Samsara is a GPS tag. Huh.
The last thing took less than half an hour, this one is taking more. That’s ok.
Creating a new comfort zone. Start doing the hard thing and eventually it feels more comfortable.
Maybe it’s about knowing exactly what I need to do. Is there a “start with the dishes” for work? Maybe the reason I “get paid the big bucks” or whatever is because I have to decide what to do first. I need a micromanager. But I would hate a micromanager.
Plus everything feels better when I’m as busy as Dana is. But I thought that one project would be a cash/to-do cow. But they want someone who is a work cow. And I can’t do that right now, legitimately.

Friday
Need to book a flight. Talk to S about BC fig.
Send CCR to admin.
Drums ugh
P&A thing – on Monday!
Ok cleaned out my inbox. That’s good. All that’s left is to do items that I need to work my way through. But first some lunch.
Ok 3 hour lunch break over. What’s one thing I want to do? CCR. Teresa is on board for next week, and I still need to talk to Matt and Sean I think. So now I should look at the email about the program.
It starts early on Wednesday, so I need to fly out Tuesday. Then I want to fly back on Sunday? Friday 2pm I could see A.
I moved things forward. That’s all I can expect the week of Christmas with no one here.

Tuesday
Catch up on SB very important – DFRs – NEXT
P&A Group – tomorrow
Text A about B – later
Check what I told Sh I would do. Oof a whole drawing. Well he doesn’t need it yet.
Fix fig 7 – done
I like how Dana strives to live in reality. A is never going to use that pottery kiln. But that’s her business.

Monday
Finish MC CCR very important – still have to fix Fig 7
Catch up on SB very important – DFRs and J’s figure – tomorrow. Well I did finish J’s figure.
Check on drums – shit ugh . Ok no, it doesn’t need to be done right now. Our on site work is done. Their pickup is a separate thing.
P&A Group – tomorrow
Text A about B – later
Check what I told Sh I would do. Hm tomorrow
No MC visit tomorrow – figure out (ML’s email) – um DONE
-
Friday
Call M about air report – done
Address comments in the air paragraph in the CCR report (have to look at the data). M is doing his part by Monday so I must do this by Monday. Over the weekend would work though.
Thursday DFR for BC
Send CCR figures to S – done
Look at O’s stuff from yesterday

Thursday
Have I not posted all week? Maybe. I do feel a little disorganized. Monday and Tuesday were great because I did my timesheet. So maybe I didn’t need to post on Monday and Tuesday. But it might have benefited me yesterday, and today I really feel like it will help me get organized.
I need to do the BC paperwork first I think. And then? Finish CCR? Fix the figures and ask S about the stuff in the text and get it over to Teresa? Has M finished the air monitoring report?
Ok DFR 8 first. Read through it to proofread. Then add sign in form. Then add other photos. Then add K’s tank photo. Then pdf it. Then add the pre-job form to the pdf. Then upload to RFC.
Then DFR 1. Have to look at it again to see what it needs. See if there’s a sign in form and see if there’s a pre-job form. PDF. Upload to RFC. Then send 8 and 1 to J and group.
Make the small tasks their own thing to accomplish. My goal is to have a nice Friday night. So I’m doing my timesheet before then between other tasks.

Wednesday
Tote deal.
Proposal.
Hoo boy can I focus? Not well.
Eh not terribly. I got a bunch done on the proposal, did some SB stuff with S, and organized MC. And got Christmas sorted out. Now to go home, walk the dog, eat, and then do the DFR for SB and maybe finish the proposal.

Tuesday
What do I need to do before January? I moved the litter box. Finish that process. Find a place in the half bath for litter and what else? Just litter.
Reduce in the basement. One shelf at a time I think.
Put the feet on the shelving units in the closet.
Put the weight rack together.
Get rid of the coffee cart?
Put string lights in the basement for the winter.
Put dog thing in the car (try it out).
Maybe I do all that on Friday.
Addressing these comments is not that hard. It feels hard because I have to think.
I should pack up so I’m ready to go at 4:45. Put bowl in the dishwasher. Eat my apple probably. Not much else. Finish the dang CCR.
Hey I did it!
Can I Focus?
