#NaBloPoMo Day 3: 7 Ways To Procrastinate #amblogging

Feb 03, 2011 23:00

Woo! Blog post time! I know you've all been waiting with bated breath for this very moment. It's actual been a really productive couple of days. Because of the snow day yesterday, I've managed to sort out over 2/3 of the final edits of Jane. Of those, I've got about a fifth of them entered into the computer so I'll keep plugging away over the weekend. Doesn't look like I'll be able to trade away my Saturday shift so the day off I had yesterday is essentially being subbed in this weekend. Boo.

Apparently the prompt for today is to list the 7 things that you procrastinate with:

1.Sleep! It is a mother effin precious resource kids. No matter how many times I tell myself 'it's just going to be a quick nap' I invariably end up looking at the clock, three hours later wearing my cranky pants.

2.Cooking. Every girl has to eat right? I love to eat and I love to cook so it isn't hard for me to find myself turning a quick meal into an afternoon of putzing around in the kitchen.

3.Organizing. When I hit even the hint of a block, I'll find something that just HAS to be organized. CD's. Movies. The tornado that is my desk. If it can be alphabetized, classed by genre or grouped together somehow, I'll do it.

4.Other Projects. I have so many on the go, if I'm 'not feeling' one project, I'll switch over to another one.

5. TV. I usually have it on in the background, just for noise while I work. Not a big deal. But every once in a while a good movie or show will come on and then I'm just a zombie at desk. Eventually I'll give up the ghost of working and just plop myself on the couch.

6. Video Games. Most of them can't hold my attention for long but once I've got a new one, I'll play that poor bastard 'til my gaming unit overheats. It goes in spurts.

7. Social Media: Facebook, e-mail, google, wiki, Twitter. All that 'research' I tell myself I'm doing? Load of horse poop. It invariably happens that searching for the record size of scorpions in Egypt for an adventure novel turns into some kind of wiki labyrinth of links that end up nowhere near where I started.

Well, that's all I've got kids. Have a great night! Tune in tomorrow, same bat channel!
