And, I've failed.

10 weeks later, my 10 week plan has failed.

Why?

Because I am lazy, unmotivated, intimidated by change and too accepting of any less than favorable situation I tend to find myself in.

My evaluation at work was as follows:
Strengths: easy going
Weaknesses: easy going

That about sums it up.

I know what I have to do... I know what the problem is... I gave myself too much wiggle room, and no real consequences.

What I need to do is say, if I don't finish this thesis in three weeks, I'm giving away my skates.

But the question is... can I do that? Yes, of course I can finish this thesis in three weeks... hell, I could probably finish it in one week... but, can I give away my skates when (I wish I could say "if" but I think "when" is the more realistic choice here) I fail again?

I don't think I can... sigh... I want to cry now, but I won't... crying is a waste of my time, as is writing in this blog, and facebook, and email, and TV, and complaining, and planning, and thinking... I need to DO...

Tomorrow is another day.

What am I going to do with it?
