Not much progress to report to you. Honestly, the mental aspect of the certification process is bogging us down right now. It’s hard to get started on an evening when it “feels” like there is so much to do. So we wait for a big chunk of time to work on a lot of it at the same time…never happens. We’re overwhelmed with it all.
It doesn’t help to be a procrastinator in a situation like this either. There’s no deadline. No looming date that we have to meet. No one to reprimand us for not getting our paperwork in on time. Such an undisciplined approach, but it’s reality.
We’ve been encouraged by many of you and really appreciate it. Keep asking how we’re doing and we’ll continue to be honestly ashamed. Saddly sometimes avoiding that shame is a motivator to get things done.
I think we may need to set a goal and then plan to reward ourselves for completing the work. The power of positive rewards, right? Good idea?
