Today is one of those days when I actually have a lot of things to do, and yet I can't seem to get started on any of it. What happens to me in these situations is not necessarily a result of me being overwhelmed. In fact, it's kind of the opposite. I am genuinely excited about the work that I have to do. But I am just not sure where to start. Most of the projects have a deadline that's not for a couple weeks or so, and I am not sure which is the most pressing/what needs to be done first.
I think this might be a remnant of college life in that since the deadlines are not pressing yet, I'm having a hard time feeling the urgency of doing the work. Then, once the deadlines are vigorously upon me, I will suddenly feel the urgency and work like a mad man to get it all done.
SO instead of sitting down and doing these items one at a time, my natural inclination is to pace around my house (which is not very big), find random odd jobs to do, eat food, sit and stare out my window at the squirrel that lives in the tree outside, or anything else other than the work set in front of me.
Crazy. Insane in the membrane. PROCRASTINATOR.
This is definitely something I need to work on. I know that I feel so much better about my day when I can say that I have achieved something substantial without stress. And in the long run I'll feel better because I won't be stressed out once the deadlines are here. I need to fix this stat.
I suppose I will go be productive then.
Ch-ch-changes!
