I am slack, slack, slacking. I’m doing everything but what I’m supposed to do, which is nothing. In ten seconds I will start doing something! 1, 2, 3….

Writing: I am about 750 words behind my word count. tsk, tsk. i don't think i'll be able to make it up tonight. but tomorrow looks good.
Spirituality: I didn't go to church today. I haven't been in a while. Tsk, tsk.
Finances: I spent way too much money. $20 at Pizza hut on Friday, $30 at the movies, $23 at a new fancy Chinese restaurant. Tsk, tsk, tsk.
Family: Good time with the fam this weekend, i.e. all of the money we spent.

Nightly Update: 2008_12_05
It's 4 in the morning and i've been up since 2. I've been doing this for the past three nights. My sleep pattern is off and that is a very bad thing. I tend to get weepy during the day if I don't get enough sleep.
Home: I was supposed to change the air filters today, but instead I took the kids to pizza hut and come home and went to sleep. I'll do it tomorrow.
Writing: I didn't do any writing yesterday, so I've spent the last two restless hours writing and making up for it. So I'm caught up.
Editing: After I post this, I'll start working on that. I'm slightly behind.

My net worth increased by $718 dollars, putting my total net worth to -$3,959. So I’ll probably still be in the negative by the end of the year. But I think a $22,000 increase is pretty impressive.
Cash Accounts: No big change from the previous month.
Credit Cards: I paid them before the end of the month, but I did some serious shopping last weekend.
Home: the value dropped by $500.
Roth: I’ve cut back on my Roth to focus on the more liquid part of my Emergency Fund.
Efund: Is at $3,000. I’m awaiting a $460 automatic savings deposit and I have to come up with another $140 to meet my savings goal for the year.
401k: I only lost $71 for the month. Not as bad as the previous months, but not as good as I would like it.
Summary: not a terribly great month, but not too bad either.
Productivity Report_2008_12_2
Summary:
I’m Switching things up. I’m tired of not living up to my potential. Sometimes I just forget what I plan to do until the next day, but if I remind myself on a daily basis then maybe it’ll be easier to do it.
Home- Replace air filters in Home and rental home due Friday
Home (Clean)- Good… still making the kids clean up after themselves. It sucks to constantly be telling someone what to do, but I’m getting used to it. I threaten Anthony with throwing away his toys if I found them on the floor and I threaten Maya (my ten year old) with taking money away from her allowance.
Writing- 50 words/day, 250 wds/week, 1000 wds/month-- I have finished the first draft of Coal. I need to set up an editing plan. Due Tomorrow
