Do you ever have days where you just can't get it together?

[Amelia G]

I like to make lists of priorities and I had a list of five tasks to complete today. Although I accomplished some things today, not one of them was one of my five priorities. I got zero out of five done. Do you ever have days like that? What do you do to get it together or do you just call the day a wash and work harder the next day?

[OrganizedKhaos]

Yeah, more than I'd like to admit. Its usually because of things involved I have no control over...
Or maybe I'm not meant to accomplish an artistic goal, because I may not be in the best headspace.... and later, I may be more inclined to create something better because of different motivational creativity.

I'm really bad at procrastination. Every off day I have, I'm always like, "Okay, I'm going to get up at this time, do this, do this, and do this," and then I end up waking up at like noon and doing nothing of importance, or only one of the things I planned to do.

It's just that when I have off days I'm so tired I don't want to do anything but sleep in.

Definitely. What I have found semi-effective: Try to stretch the deadlines but make them encompass more tasks. For example: I have about 10 immediate things to finish. I set 5/1 instead of just 2 today etc. Works for some reason.

I know its off the subject, but I feel like I got some things accomplished today.
I took 200 pictures of anything and everything... before 10am.

lol everyday is like that for me. i have a billion things i want to do and i usually fail at like 50% of them. i tend to get the important ones done but everything else takes a backseat until like 3AM and then when I finally want to do things I fall asleep instead.

I don't make lists

[OrganizedKhaos]

Thats a sure fire way NOT to be disappointed.

[Mr Karl]

noone likes dissappointment

[OrganizedKhaos]

Sometimes I embrace it, to challenge me to try/strive for a better performance or something of that nature... but for the most part, disappointment really irks me.
Moreso than it should.

a better question would be do I ever have days when I can get it together?

No.
