BS: Creative Procrastination...?

From: Jande

Ahhh.. yes. Well... I've just spent the last four hours and really the last week I suppose... putting off re-recording the songs that I put up on MP3.com a couple of weeks ago that had bloody orful quality. I find myself doing the most trivial things, like {{shudder}} the dishes! Rather than get on with it, though I reallywant and need to get them done. Here I am starting another fah-has-cinating thread on Mudcat probably as another way to spend my time rather than on that which I need to work. ::grin::

The reason there is a question mark up there on the Subject line of this thread is that I was wondering

a) IF you do...?

and

b) WHEN you do...?

and

c) HOW do you... finally get yourself to work on the thing you've been procrastinating?

Any hints or tips will be considered seriously..

Thanks!

Ain't computers in particular and the internet generally great wasters of time? I luv 'em.

Ah hah! Time for a plug for my friends in the Society for Creative Procrastination!

And don't forget to look up their recent West Coast chapter! I'm an honorable member for my International house of Pancakes prank, but I don't think there are pictures up yet. It's only been a year. They are procrastinating!

There's nothing like organizing a messy garage. If I ever get it fully organized, I can't imagine what other projects around the house I might actually get done, because the garage is my project-avoidance project.

drat, I wondered why my lack of garage felt uncomfortable. Mind you I had plans when I bought the house................ last year.

Isn't this a duplicate thread ? I posted to the other one yesterday, I think. But I'd have to scroll down who knows how far to find it. Then I'd have to open it and then I still wouldn't know.... to heck with it.
