- Wait, so I can talk about procrastination as a way to procrastinate? Awesome.

procrastrs_r_us- September 4th, 2009
I'm supposed to be doing lesson plans for my surprise!Home Ec class. The obvious thing to do is start trying out recipes instead. I'm excusing this procrastination by declaring it to be constructive research (as is browsing every recipe site on the internet while I wait for this mushroom suet pud to cook. Honest.)
I think really I need to stop rationalising my procrastination. I'll always call something research, or say I can't possibly start project X until I have part Y.
(I also really need to do some garden work, but it's raining, so we're going to have a lesson plans vs. gardening procrastination death battle once the weather improves.)
Also, I use my 'working' icon to guilt trip myself into working. Because I'd be lying if I don't actually do some work when using it. :P
optimistic
Yup, that's pretty much the idea
The rationalising illusion of productivity that surrounds taking on board new projects is just so alluring...
That nice buzz of productivity is fine while it's new and exciting and then suddenly it's something that has to be done and all I can summon is 'meh'.
