2012 - Day 038 - Burned Out!
Last Update: February 07, 2012

Burned Out!

There's just no way around this!

Get up in the morning and try to get as many things done on my ToDo list as possible before it is time to go out the door to engage in back-breaking labor for ten hours.

Today was no exception!  Came home totally blitzed from over work...up and down stairs with stones...stressing to look busy all day...rain, wet feet, pretending it wasn't bothering me...

The inevitable happened...not long after I came home, I just had to lay down.  Now, three hours later, I awaken...9:30 pm!  Nothing done with my campaign...nothing done at all with anything in my ToDo list except for the very first thing...the workday.

Now I sit here, half-awake, confused and dazed from the nap.  I have to be very careful not to stay awake too long or it will disrupt the next day's workday.  There will be no nap tomorrow...again, nothing will get done because of a pre-engagement after work.  Am I now having to carry everything over again...and again???

Task Bank to Be Updated and Made Current

This will be fixed (without spending too much time on it because obviously, time is not on my side right now having made the above error.  The above now takes top priority in hopes the job didn't start yet. (This is pending)

My WA Spaces Daily Planner & Gratitude and Achievement Journal

  • Gratitude:  Thankful that I'm getting up the income for my needs (and my luxuries of staying in WA) even though the income-getting is severely preventing me from doing work outside of it.

  • What needs to be done today?

    3. Research individual URLs for Michael's campaign.
    4. Begin setting up Alternative Health Supplements (minimal effort here)
    5. Finish Report in AHSMD.  It needs to be uploaded so there is no dangling problem here!

My Task Bank

Solved Problems/Problems in works:

  • Not all of the clutter was done, so carried over.
  • Not all of the History materials of this was done, but not all of it, so carried over.
  • John wants the house pressure washed.
  • Raise $359.88 for a year's membership at Wealthy Affiliate.
Unresolved Problems:
  • Clutter in camper.  Still working on the clutter.  Much of it is now in the cabinets which are now in place and functional.
  • Roof leak in front of camper.  The roof is still leaking.
  • Septic problem.  Run a septic line to the main line from the house and tap into it.  It will cost about $100 for materials to do this.
  • Support for awning coming off.  Take the pressure off it by putting the awning all the way up and reinstalling it to the camper by putting a bolt and nut through however way it can be done.
  • Water heater not working.  It needs to be repaired or get an electric water heater.  There is a four-gallon heater for about $218.  The water heater can be installed above where the bookshelf is now.  There will need to be adaptors for the camper's piping to the conventional on the heater.
  • Broken windshield.  It will cost about $200 to have the windshield replaced.  Someone can come out and do it.
  • Camper will not start.  Not only does the camper need to be started, it also needs to be moved slightly so the tires to not rot.  The battery needs to be tested and then charged if still good.  If not, it's time for a new battery.
  • Auxiliary batteries dead or not charging.  The batteries need to be tested.  They did not take a charge when I tried last year.  New ones need to be purchased if this is the case.
  • Dirty and dusty conditions in camper.  When the clutter problem is resolved I will be able to clean out this camper very well.  Eventually the carpet needs to be torn out and replaced with the wooden flooring I have in the shed.  Outside of some of the clutter cleaned up, nothing else besides the counter has been cleaned.
  • Microwave door hard to open (broken door pull.)  Attach a new door pull to it.  The old one needs to be broken off all the way.  Not yet repaired.
  • Shed needs to be cleaned out.  Any tools, articles, everthing not useful needs to be disposed of.  Not yet been cleaned out.
  • Lawn mower has no place to be stored.  It needs to be stored back where it was and covered.  It is now covered with the mop pail.
  • Lawn mower will not run.  Needs new spark plug and other work.  The carburator probably needs cleaning.  Also the blade needs replacing with the new blade I had bought but never installed.  This has not yet been done.
  • Charging unit in this camper not functioning?  Find out if it is the batteries.  The charging unit may be just fine.  This has not yet been done.
  • Panel for charging unit needs to be put on.  This has not yet been done.
  • AC unit for this camper needs to be reassembled.  Try to get the AC unit working.  It will be used on the hottest days, or at night.  Found the components having been sitting in water on the roof.  It appears they are destroyed.
  • AC unit cap needs to be fixed so it can be bolted down.  Figure out how to fix this so it can be bolted down.  Else it will fly off if on the Interstate or other highway.  This has not yet been done.
  • The water tanks and entire system in this camper needs to be drained and sanitized.  The problem with smelly water seems to have been in the long hose which is no longer in the system.  Though this sanitization still needs to be done, having changed the water line has fixed this problem.
  • John wants some data entry done.  John has someone esle that is supposed to be doing this.  I will do it if this other person doesn't.
  • John wants a new sidewalk put in. Not done.
  • John wants a rubbish enclosure built. Not done.
  • John wants the roof pressure washed. Not done.
  • John wants new shutters put up on the side of the house. Not done.
  • John wants that area landscaped. Not done.
  • John wants the rose garden weeded. Not done.
  • The remaining loose cassette tapes need to be stored in the shelving or in the compartment above the dining table. Not done.
  • All history materials can go into the compartment above the dining room table.  This will be its new home.  This will include cassettes, documents and photographs. Not done.
  • The books need to be gone through.  The less useful books in all collections need to go behind the Anti-Nicene Fathers volumes.  The rest need to go under the table.  Not done.
New Problems:
  • Raise $359.88 for a year's membership at Wealthy Affiliate.  Since this has been ongoing and I have not reported it in these documents, it will also appear 'in works.'
  • John reports problems with AHSMD not showing any content.  There is a big problem with IE not accepting anything having to do with Java namely, the sidebar menu and slider.
  • John notes that his name is not on Hypnosistampa anywhere.
  • The water pipe project is going to have to sit for now (unless I have some daylight to work it)

Daniel, burn out the weeds. Decide what is most important and set priority. Take time robbers off to do list. If time is limited break your big tasks into smaller tasks. Always make some progress.

Unfortunately, the job I'm doing now saps me almost all my energy for the day. If I do get anything else done lately, it has been in the morning. All I can do now is keep moving stuff from one day to the next. The five items are my top priority stuff. When I finish with the work I'm doing, which is temporary, I will be going full speed ahead with the above again. For now, it's relegated to the weekends. Two evenings this week I've fallen asleep from exhaustion and that leaves about two hours at the most in the evenings. Can't go to bed at a later time when this occurs. It still effects being able to get up rested. To be honest, the top priority thing IS the time-robber! But it's expedient and only about a week left of it...unless I get put on permanently.

As far as the task bank (as I so call it) yes, there are things on there that need to be taken off as the list is old and some things are already done. Just had not yet gone through it.
