  • Hating myself right now for my total lack of self-discipline. In every area of my life as long as I can remember, therapy for years hasn't helped me overcome patterns. Just today, paid sitter for 4 hours for me to work during day (P/T WAHM) and did nothing but surf web news. I'm such a loser and hating myself, but I know that's not productive. Anyone BTDT and overcome this?

    • get off ub (download Leechblock so you can't go online to your time waster sites) and do 1 hour work tonight.

    • I had the MOST unproductive day imaginable. Was so tired and could not focus. I don't know what to do. Half of it is that I'm sleep-deprived and half of it is that I am on an anti-depressant that makes me exhausted.

    • I'm with you. I surfed Internet ALL day and paid sitter for six hours. Here I am, with a deadline passed, on ub. I want WAH to work, too

      • actually, I'm an independent consultant, but lots of work is writing (offsite design) and I work so much better in teams, sigh. Should I check out Scrivener??

    • Yes, I had to change my career to something that did not involve self-motivation.

    • what do you do? do you have a lot of tasks or just one. write a list and break it down into small parts -- do the easiest or most appealing on first and chip away at the others...

    • Tonight the slowness of the board helped me.I'd refresh, then go back to working on my project just to kill time. Now I'm done and back to UBing. Except now you all have your pact and have gone back to work so you're probably not going to read this res se..
