Could I get some wake up/focus PD?

[Rajah]

If anyone has any PD to spare.

My tech lead is asking for status on a project that, honestly, I've been neglecting recently. I should be much farther along in it than I am, but I've been having a lot of trouble focusing. Two weeks ago it was because of the first week of classes. I always have trouble focusing on anything not-school and not-chat related during the first week of the semester.

Then, last week was my car problem. When I encounter a problem like that, I'm the type of personality that focuses on the personal problem to the point that other projects suffer. So first it was car, then finding new car, then excitement over new car, then class again.

This week, I'm just plain tired, and I've caught myself five times in the past 15 minutes going to load a file or save a file and just staring blankly at the computer screen saying "what am I doing??" This is *after* two diet cokes, by the way. I'm hoping that some lunch and a third jolt of caffiene will get me awake enough to actually *do* something today.

Anyway, I'd really appreciate any "wake up"/"focus on work" PD y'all might have to spare. I *really* need to get this project done.

Wake up! Focus! Good luck with this project. Now that you have your car and school has been underway for a while, perhaps you could obsess about the project instead. {{{HUGS}}} sweetie. Good luck with this.

That is challenging, but the project needs full attention.

My DH has this "gift" when it comes to work. He doesn't think of anything else but work when he is there, he gives 110% to work.

We don't talk about stuff, and he doesn't do personal/other business at work.

When he gets home we discuss and do all the other stuff that goes with it.


He uses his train commute t ime to study and decompress. Then he is energized!
