- I am not going to spend AGES agonising over decisions - I will just GET ON AND DO IT

- I will endeavour to do ONE THING AT A TIME and not get distracted

- I will break big things I've been putting off into SMALL CHUNKS and do them a bit at a time

- I will give myself LITTLE REWARDS for tasks completed

Any other ideas to help me stop procrastinating and fecking GET STUFF DONE????

Ah - a common theme then, as I am also freelance & work from home! And someone has just offered me three days a week until November, and I'm:

a) delighted
b) panicked about how I will get everything else done!

(And yes - I shouldn't be on MN right now! Bye!)

oops! It was quite a treat taking the boys - bit scary in the playground though 'cos I don't really know many of the other Mums.


Add your message here

Message
Emphasis: To bold a word, surround it with asterisks, so *hello* will display hello. For underline use _ , so _hello_ gives hello. For italics use ^, so ^hello^ gives hello. To strike out a word, surround it with two hyphens either side, so --dog-- gives dog

Links and smileys: To insert a smiley face, , type [smile] or :)
For a big grin, , type [grin] or :o
For a wink, , type [wink]
For a shocked face, , type [shock]
For an angry face, , type [angry]
For an embarrassed face, , type [blush]
For a sad face, , type [sad] or :(
For an envious face, , type [envy]
For a sceptical face, , type [hmm]

Links The simplest way to insert a link is to enter the link itself, surrounded by [[ and ]]. So if you type [[www.mumsnet.com]], the link will display as http://www.mumsnet.com. If you want your link to display text other than the web address itself, leave a space after the address then add the text before the ]]. So "Look at [[www.mumsnet.com this page]]", would display "Look at this page".
