I Can Do This - We Can Do This
I have so much to do, I do not know where to start. Yesterday I spent most of the day rebooting my cell phone to factory default and it was working good untill AT+T tried downloading a bunch of app updates and now it keeps freezing up before finishing the updates. It is so discouraging. It is so discouraging that I don't know what to do and I can't focus. I thought I had this problem solved but now maybe I have to waste the day researcing new phones and going to buy one. I just don't know. It keeps optimizing from 7 or 8 or 9 of 10 apps but never gets to ten and finishing before freezing up. I keep trying by turning off, removing battery and restarting.
340am-355am: Clean kitchen
I did not do any of my 15 minute challenges because I couldn't get my brain off of my phone problem! I THINK I GOT IT RESOLVED. But the aggravation is still brewing in my head and body!
6:15am - 6:35am: Install google voice onto my phone.

And so even that failed.... Arrrgh! Time to lay down. No more chores for the moment.
It really pisses me off that these big tech companies make things almost impossible to trick, conive, scheme some kind of financial or manipulation advantage over a laymen just trying to make it through the day. My ambition is out the window!
NOTICE: I HAVE NOT DONE THESE SIMPLE TASKS YET! And the day is slipping away with virtually no progress anywhere!
340am-355am: Clean kitchen
Sometimes a 15 minute task is very hard to get done!
Slept for a couple hours.... back to an effort to save the day.
The program on the phone is still not working but the phone itself working.
1040 - 1140am Morning tasks
HOW HARD CAN IT BE TO DO A DAILY TASK SOMETIMES?
Answer: Very Hard
From 3:00am this morning I have done NONE of my 15 minute tasks because I could not stop with my cell problem! How ridiculous is that?
TRY AGAIN:
1:40pm - 2:40pm: Morning tasks (4) 15 minute intervals.
A NEW DAY... WITH YESTERDAYS BAGGAGE!
The important thing today is to get rid of the failures and inadaqucies of all the yesterdays.
FOR ME, I CAN DO THIS BY PERSEVERING THROUGH A 15 MINUTE TASK
AND THEN ANOTHER...... AND THEN ANOTHER...... and so it goes.
