Yes, This Is My 2nd Post Today.

Making up for lost time? Not really. I was just reading a book I bought recently on the advice of a friend. The book's called Eat That Frog, and it's based on the premise, put out there by Mark Twain, that if you ate a live frog first thing in the morning, everything else you did for the rest of the day would be easy. The author of the book tells you to make whatever your most important task - often the most difficult or longest or one you want to put off most - the frog, and do it first. The book sets out strategies to do this, and it's been giving me some good ideas. My frog for tomorrow? Besides getting out of bed at a decent hour? Reading for school. I have to decide which thing needs to come first, but definitely reading for school. Stay tuned....

If at first you don't succeed....

Well, you know how the saying goes. I'm so frustrated with myself though. I forgot to meet up with a friend this morning (ugh), which doesn't happen all that often, but I hated that it happened. Especially because we were meeting up to work, and so I didn't get that work done either. And of course now I've spent all do doing pretty much nothing. Honestly, I think I need to look into going to a counselor.

Anyway. I keep envisioning all the things I want to get done, envisioning my working on them and their being done, but I have such a problem actually doing them. I'm going to keep trying though. I'm going to keep trying.
