And what can I do to start?
I am the world's greatest procrastinator. I caught myself actually circling my computer earlier, staring at it, on the way back from a useless trip to check the washing up, or something. I just didn't want to sit down. And I'm posting this for a reason: I am wasting time. Purposefully and with method. What does it take? My work's interesting, I absolutely have to do get it done before Monday or I'm shafted, and I have no distractions of any kind apart from the ones I make for myself. It's 8:00 pm, it's freezing cold outside, I have no arrangements for my Friday night on purpose, and I still can't make myself work. Cooked carrots suck, but come on. Everyone knows that cooked carrots suck. help me gibberish |

Now I'm compulsively checking to see if I've had any replies.
I'm a lost cause. |

Two words: unplug internet.
My DSL went caput this morning and I needed to get work done, I sat down with my computer, tried to connect to my mail. Failed. Starting messing around with my work. Got it done in no time. Checked internet. Failed. Walked to work. |

Are you kidding? I have a script that I use to edit the /etc/hosts file to block several sites, including this one. It sits in my Script menu. I should be using it now. D'oh.
It's the only way I can effectively work. Well, that and go find a place with no net connection at all... |

LOL, I've been sitting at this computer at work all day (almost 8 hours now) and have gotten maybe... 1.5 hours worth of work done. The pain...

Why are you people working on Friday night?
Friday nights are for drinking, not working! |

That way, you could get an hour's worth of work done, without committing to working the entire evening. Then, of course, there's the off-chance you'll get caught up in your work and continue with it. But if not, at least you'll have gotten an hour's worth done. Btw, I speak as a person who can procrastinate about something for *years*!!! |

Finished. 11:30 pm GMT (daylight saving) and I'm done. Didn't need to squash the airport or execute any dark scripts, just got on and did it.
Good work, got it done before the week drops, and it's going to be a hardcore week (lots of writing, too much writing to do) and I agreed to act as the driver for a German TV crew covering the royal wedding for a fee of £1,250 because I'm strapped for cash. I resolved not to buy any tobacco so I couldn't burn a tree, as Snoop Dogg might put it, and I believe this was key, although I am going to rectify that immediately. Thanks for your help. Freak, I'm especially looking at you. Couldn't have got it done without you. Really. gibberish |
