I
procrastinating
by
getting
things
done
--
but
not
the
things
I
"should"
be
doing.
For
example,
I'll
do
the
laundry
and
bake
muffins
and
all
kinds
of
housework
instead
of
correcting
papers
and
updating
my
gradebook
or
writing
lesson
plans.
Sometimes
I
split
the
weekend:
Saturday
is
housework,
Sunday
schoolwork.
After
the
Packers
game,
of
course.
Nothing
stops
the
green
and
gold.

I
procrastinate
by
over-planning,
over-thinking,
over-researching,
you
name
it.
I
have
gotten
better
about
reining
that
in!
I
also
read
the
NYTimes
online
and
I
keep
checking
my
email
and
checking
the
weather
forecast
on
Weatherbug.

I
bounce
back
and
forth
between
work
and
the
internet.
I've
always
got
several
browsers
open
while
I'm
working.
I
shop
for
clothes,
I
read
blogs,
I
post
on
my
blog...
all
sorts
of
things
I'm
not
supposed
to
be
doing
at
work.

Bouncing
around
the
blogsphere...
I
like
to
call
it
"research"
LOL!

Yep
I
read
work
related
online
material
too,
but
I
also
will
"organize
my
workspace".
Jenorama 7th Nov 07
Lately,
it's
been
reading
about
the
WGA
strike.
I
am
obsessed.
Nataly 7th Nov 07
Reading
tech
and
business
blogs.
I
need
to
know
what's
going
on,
but
really,
it's
half
entertainment.

So
I
was
over
visiting
Lee’s
member
note
about
Lists
and
the
mania
they
create
and
realized
that
sometimes
when
I
am
at
a
stumbling
block
or
just
can’t
take
‘work’
anymore,
I
over
organize
using
spreadsheets
and
Project
and
PowerPoint
so
I
don’t
feel
guilty
about
not
getting
something
done.
Sometimes
this
has
great
outcomes!
It
can
help
me
think
differently,
sometimes
more
mentally
organized
but
also
more
creatively
–
how
can
I
make
the
layout
better/easier
to
read,
etc.
But
then
it
can
also
induce
guilt
when
I
am
too
busy
to
over
organize
and
have
to
rely
on
just-get-it-doneness.
Vicious
cycle!
I also read tech blogs/articles and other ‘work related’ online material... but then everyone does THAT, right? right? :) |
