It’s the weekend!!!

Finally! I'm hoping to get out and have some fun this weekend, but I also want to catch up with some work and make my apartment habitable again. I've been out of town so much, it's been neglected. So much clutter – paper mostly. Mail, articles, magazines, receipts, etc. I definitely want to have a good time this weekend, but catching up with everything and having a clean apartment will be good for me.

I ended up staying up really late last night – facebook is the devil! One last logon before I went to bed, but I got involved in a chat. Before I knew it, 3am rolled around. I had to be at school today in the morning. Went home after and planned to work on stuff, but I ended up taking a really long nap instead. So, I'm doing a bit of work (school and house) tonight instead. Ooh, and dateline is on…yes, I'm a nerd.

Despite the fact I'll probably doing a lot of work this weekend, I feel much calmer. I'll be so much more prepared, so hopefully less stress. Less stress à
J blogger. J blogger = funnier blogs. Yay!

Productivity software

So I installed this program that summarizes how you spend your time when you're on your computer (http://www.rescuetime.com) . After tagging some stuff, it will tell you how productive you've been, along with the activity you've spent the most time on.

I've learned that in the last 3 days, I've spent 8.5 hrs procrastinating, mostly in the "social networking" category. Damn Facebook. Even better: it told me that I worked all of 21.6 minutes today. Dang. I was at school for 6 hours. In my defense, it doesn't include stuff that isn't done on the computer - like reading. I did write that 1/2 page of the assessment report...okay, it was mostly titles and subject headings. And a few incomplete sentences. But I started it! That's the first step...

Does anyone else start a paper or assignment by opening a document, putting a title on it, save and close it? It makes me feel accomplished because I've thought about it enough to reserve a document for it (ok, i have low standards for accomplishment). Then I can see the icon on my desktop and and tell people I've started working on it...and I'm not lying.
