[...] picked up the iguana metaphor from Havi, who got it from Karen Lloyd. Iguanas are, basically, Things That Don’t Want To Be Done Yet [...]

[...] I’m considering one project closed (though I’ll check in next week when I send my final invoice). Another is still slow as molasses, and it totally brings me down. I worked on it last night, and while it only required 30 minutes of actual work, I needed a huge break after it because it just stirs me up emotionally to not be done with it. At least the break included tea and a friend. I’m just noticing what a time suck it is when I don’t want to do something, and it helps to just name that it’s going to need a little extra space. And it helps to know that other smart, brilliant and capable people have their own Inowanna Iguanas! [...]

Dear Havi and Selma, God bless you ! This iguanaccountablility is such a brilliant thing, and exactly what I needed right now. I’m practising already. Thank you so much.

So here’s me feeling dumb that I’ve been reading those friday posts for like a year now, all the time wondering why you call them “chicken”. I was all like, “there’s probably some cute and funny Havi story (yes, it’s just one guy) that explains it”. I am hereby revoking my punster card.

Oops – accidental html is what happens when I post comments while still on my first cup of coffee. The bit I was attempting to quote was this:

I will stop after thirty minutes no matter where I am with it and I will jump on my tiny trampoline while listening to the Clash and pretend that I am still a badass.

That’s one hell of a commitment. Thanks for the mini-lesson in how not to be boring and self-shoulding in the Commitment bit. When I write Very Personal Ads, my Commitment section tends to be written by my inner good girl: “I promise to do this thing just right and follow up enthusiastically and mind my P’s and Q’s!” So probably they do not accurately reflect what I am actually 100% *willing* or even *likely* to actually do.

Next time I will remember to include things like bouncing. Or perhaps exclude anything that does not resemble bouncing.

This is brilliant. I wonder if you get sick of hearing that all the time.

Something I’m avoiding– reading and working with the testimonials worksheet stuff I purchased from you months ago.

Writing a curriculum proposal to someone who clapped and actually said ‘oh goody’ when she asked me to teach a class at her prestigious theater.

Why now: On point 1. because my biz is picking up and all I need to do is to figure out how to get my loyal clients to write a few lines about it.

point 2. because I’d really like to teach that class, and it would be good for the kids I’d teach, too, so not just selfish.

making it easier– I’ll write out what the resistance to the testimonial stuff is in my fun journal using glitter crayons. Once it sees the light of day I bet it will flee.

same for point 2 and then I will reward self with watching a movie on Thurs after completing tasks.

@Sonia - !

@Jay - oh hooray. That is so completely great. I am glad. Very very glad.

@Carolina - good good good. Thank you! What a perfect reminder at just the right time.

@Emily - oh. my. god. What a bizarre and creepy story! I love it. But I'm really glad I wasn't there.

@Amber - yes. Completely. Me too. I'm only taking on two iguanas at a time right now because if I start to contemplate all of them I will turn into a puddle. Hug to you.

Oh, you guys! You are so much fun to do this with. Seriously.

I like iguanas. They remind me of Walla Voodoo, and then I feel young and springy.

Plus, you know. Tastes like chicken.
