Soundtrack: Thievery Corporation, "Le Monde"
Mood: Pensive
I'm thinking about procrastination today...the whole phenomenon of putting things off. I've been a procrastinator my whole life, pretty much. Read a bunch of books on stopping it, took the Franklin Planner course a couple times, made resolutions, came up with tricks...
...all to no avail. I've still got a list of activities to complete, hovering in the back of my mind. If I try to write it down, it goes away. I could probably knock it all out in a day or two, but I don't. Surf SG, do some laundry, read, game, work on some fun project that has no sense of urgency whatsoever - pretty much anything except buckle down and get the shit done.
I know how happy I will be when the activities are done and the list is gone (at least until I generate another one). I know I've got the time to deal with it. But here I am, typing about it in an SG journal before I wander off to do something else procrastinatory.
Damned if I can figure myself out.
