Action procrastination!

Oct 21, 2006 14:45

Okay, this is how it works. Always carry a list of unsavoury tasks around in your mind, and play them off against one another. For example, right now I'm avoiding doing a sinkful of dirty dishes by working on my bigass editing project. (Well, actually, I'm having a smoke break right now, but you get the picture.)

That's right-I am procrastinating by doing work! Later on, I'll find something to avoid doing by tackling the dishes. Odds are, that thing will be my editing project.

It doesn't matter if this seems silly to you; I am a lazy pragmatist, and it works for me.

editing, work
