I am a world
class procrastinator. I treat myself
when I don’t deserve it (ahhhh...15 minutes of work, time for a cup of tea!)
and decide things are urgent, when they really aren’t, just to get out of doing
what I should be doing. At the moment I’m
trying to write a paper.
When I’m working and busy, and writing, I always desire more time to write. It turns out that when all I have to do is write, I am still unable to just sit down and get it done. Instead, I watch shows (and whole movies), read, knit, tidy, bake, prepare dinner early, check the mail, read online newspapers, bike down the road on errands, water the garden/pot plants, redecorate the house (!) and worst of all: check my facebook page. My goal this week is to spend the morning writing but in the afternoon, I’m allowed to do all those other things. Then, if I’m free in the evening I will review my morning’s work. By putting some structure (and self discipline) into it, I hope to write a really good paper. Let’s see how I go.
