stop procrastinating - tomorrow (read all 6 entries…)
Here I sit... 3 years ago

I have to prepare two registration forms tonight so that I can get them photocopied and distributed first thing in the morning. Yet, here I sit, waiting for it to get late enough at night so I’ll start to feel the pressure of running out of time so that I can’t put it off any longer. I just don’t want to do it until I absolutely have to.

(checks clock)

Nah. I have at least another 45 minutes before it will get critical.

I got it half done last night.

I finished the other half this morning and had them distributed by noon. Soft deadlines don’t work so well for me, because then I just find a way to stretch them.

Hot Toddie Schoonover ran 2468 miles in 2009, what will he run in 2010?

I Do This Too

It’s amazing how easily it is to avoid a task that you’re not motivated to do. It would be so much easier and faster to just do it up front than try to invent things to distract you from doing it.

I think I need to...

...hire someone to do this monotonous stuff for me.

Nah, on second thought, that wouldn’t work either. I’d be so dissatisfied with the way they did it that I’d get all worked up and redo it myself, the way I wanted it in the first place.

That seems...

...like it might be a good motivational system then. For a given definition of “good”, obviously.

Goshdarnit: I accidentally clicked “cheer” instead of “respond”. Now I’m mad.

Effective, but frustrating.

Haha, now you’ll have to pick a new number to be your last cheer. ;-)

That's easy.

6544 :-P

Despite you adding a million or so new goals and entries to try and goad me into cheering them ;-)
