    I have been away from home for a long, long time. Now that I am back, I can't even begin to catologue the home-maintenance I need to get to work on. Unfortunately, I am sitting around watching TV and posting on TFP rather than demonstrating industry.

    • Clean up house (clutter, dishes, laundry, steam-clean floors
    • Work (Add content to Knowledge db, Create Training Seminars, Self-Evaluation)

    I should go get fertilizer to start making the yard look green for the spring. And pick up dog poop.

    It's a beautiful day out, but I'm still procrastinating.

    My apartment needs cleaned desperately. It's no "Hoarders" bad, but it is definately cluttered. Such is left when you move into a place half the size of the last place. In an effort to free up some space, I'm breaking up my 260+ DVD collection. This effort has broken down into "hey, I own a copy of this? Damn, gotta watch this again right now!"

    Double dumbass on me; I'm playing on TFP instead of cleaning or watching movies.

    That's the best reason to procrastinate!

    Sounds like you should be procrastinating on the golf course!

    I wish. Trying to get out for almost two weeks now and life isn't cooperating. I am thinking next week will be the week though!

    The long part I can definitely handle. The straight part is the issue. :D

    This week at work I had to deliver a summary progress report to my Director for her Board meeting next week. As well as covering my own workload, I am helping another team member who has recently been promoted to take on a job that she was previously assistant to, as the previous incumbent was let go for being not very good.

    For most of Thursday, and all of Friday, she worked on her section's report, with my help on some of the statistics and data preparation.

    With a Friday 5pm deadline, I still hadn't started my own report by mid-afternoon on Friday. At half past four I finally managed to be in a position where I could get started, and handed it to the Director at 4:55pm. It was praised for its concise form and clear simple explanations, and lack of extraneous filler in the form of charts, tables and other "noise".

    Achieving a goal pays off later. Procrastination pays off NOW.

    Doing laundry is a great way to avoid doing the term paper. An old trick of mine.:)

    That is what I am doing now. I cooked a batch of soup, made some beans for a bean salad, did laundry, went shopping for groceries and cat stuff...I'm running out of productive things to do while procrastinating.
