I find it truly remarkable that we, as people, are able to procrastinate with such little effort. For example, I came home today with the intention of doing some homework. I have a very simple, quick 200 word essay to write up by next Friday. Knowing that I will be in Sydney for most of next week I need to get it done this week. Arriving through my door I put my books away and place my laptop and phone on charge. I hang out the washing, do the dishes, make a few business phone calls and send some text messages. Ok, an hour later and I should really get this assignment done.
I sit at the computer and quickly check the news headlines and the weather. I check my emails and respond to a few. I reorganise some other work that I need done and I check my project manager for what other works needs to be complete soon. Ok, time to get on with this one.
I open up my web browser and check the comments on this blog. I delete all the spam and then check the stats. I filter through the referrals and then start writing up this post. In fact, this post is already bigger than the essay I need to write! But still, I haven’t started the essay. I mean, the essay needs to be 200 words, this article is 247.
Ok, time to work on it a little bit. Ciao!
