I want to be a runner
By SheToldMe, on Sat Jun 14, 2008 9:00pm PDTI want to be a runner. That's right, me. I've been talking about it for years. I see a runner as I'm driving in to work and I say out loud even to myself, "I want to run." I get these urges at random points in my day where I think "I should start running today."... Read More »

5 ways to stop procrastinating and get to the gym
By Elastic Waist, on Fri May 23, 2008 8:43am PDTWe're all familiar with that sense of failure that accompanies going a few days, weeks, or, heck months without hitting the treadmill.

Under Pressure
By Khali, on Wed Apr 30, 2008 9:20am PDT*dum dum dum dum dum dum dum*No, but seriously, I have a PolySci paper due in about 32 hours that I haven't started yet. I'm pretty stressed about that, but I suppose it's my own fault. I've had since March to do it, but I had other things on my mind. *sigh* Oh well. If I manage to... Read More »

Don't put off until tomorrow...
By jenhschiller, on Tue Apr 15, 2008 3:18am PDT… what you can do today. Yes, it’s another one of those nuggets of wisdom hiding in our common clichés and sayings. And what is this one telling us? STOP PROCRASTINATING. Sorry, I didn’t mean to yell – it’s just that this is a message most of us are very resistant to hearing.
Speaking for myself, when it comes to work (and school, when I was a student), I always get things done early. The second I’m given a professional or academic deadline, I’m off and running. I usually have my work done well in advance of the due date. My colleagues and former classmates would tell you that I never procrastinate. But when it comes to my personal goals… well, let’s just say that it’s a bit more challenging. Read More »

Spring Sprang Sprung
By Anne Fitzgerald, Elastic Waist, on Mon Mar 17, 2008 8:03am PDTIt was so dark this morning, when I got up, and I couldn't figure out why. Daylight Savings Time, I thought. Right. With the darkness. But I don't get up so early that it should still be sun's-a-napping time, and I don't understand, so I will just lie here and doze, for a while, in... Read More »

Body of Work: Desk Job
By Anne Fitzgerald, Elastic Waist, on Fri Mar 14, 2008 7:24am PDTIn the back of my house, next to the kitchen, is a nook, separated by a block of cabinets and a little counter, where the kitchen table is supposed to go, in the minds of the people who planned the layout of my weird little apartment. But I decided, when I first moved in, that that was going to... Read More »
