Newton's First Law
I'm having trouble getting started again after the unlamented departure of the Week Long Headache From Hell.
Procrastination, boredom, and lack of productivity are habit-forming. The more I procrastinate, the less crucial it seems not to put things off for just one more minute/hour/day. The less productive I am, the harder it becomes to face the task the following day when my job list is bigger with closer deadlines. The less I make use of ideas, the less they come my way. The more bored I let myself become, the less I even want to be happy and alive. And however much I'm deadline-driven, once it's become clear that I'm not going to be any more likely to hit my self-imposed deadline if I do anything today than if I don't, it ceases to be effective as that motivating factor.
To tell the truth, I think the headache might have hightailed it out of here sooner if I'd managed to get into a productive cycle rather than staying in an unproductive thing.
But hey, what else am I supposed to do at half past one in the morning, when I can't sleep for lack of satisfaction?
More procrastination?
