Today I will track down the car and pick up the vegetables, and I will also choose at least one thing from this list. My writing group has started and I have to work 25 minutes on research.
I also get to work 2 hours on syllabi, although since it is the weekend I am allowed to put that into research or even into smart recreational reading. Early on I must call the nuns who live next door and say something about that kitten. It will also be a good day to download Scrivener.
Procrastination is not my research and writing problem, but I do in fact procrastinate on other things. When the idea that I did not deserve to enjoy life sank in, I gave up a lot of activities I liked and it made me less efficient. In Maringouin I procrastinate on the project of regaling myself with pleasantness.
