be more disciplined

This is definitely something i need to work on. I’ve often decided my emotional stance on something, then only to give in or relent , and later regret it.

am going to try and remind myself regularly to check myself before i decide to express my emotions.

I have to triple-check myself when I see something I want to buy..!

I’ve GOT TO STOP SPENDING SO MUCH TIME AT WORK!

I flat out refuse to work on weekends theses days. If ANYONE wants to guilt trip me into working weekends he only has to see the hours I clock on a typical day. By weekends I am utterly EXHAUSTED and have to sleep through most of Saturday to recover!

If this situation does not improve next year I am going to just give up trying to finish my daily tasks on time and go home when the clock hits 17:00, lest I let my work ruin the rest of my life – I’ve got to develop the discipline of not letting work overrun my life

is what I reallly needed. If a day starts off with events that are emotionally upsetting I tend to let it affect my work. It’s important for me to learn to pack that away for a while until after work to ponder and digest. I have a habit of trying to analyse the feelings until I am ok with them.. as a consequence sometimes I get distracted at work.

I wonder if meditation will help me gain the skills needed for emotional compartmentalisation?

We keep missing deadlines due to miscommunication – this suprises me as communication in my mind is foundamental to this particular industry.

I am so used to missing deadlines that I am afraid I’ve become desensitised – and that is a bad, BAD thing.

At least I am on time with stuff I do OUTSIDE of work.

I must become a more disciplined driver.

This means.. drink less, get some rest before driving home from parties and clean up all my papers and notes!
