Busywork isn’t much fun, but it’s not all that bad, either (compared with, say, a trip to the dentist). Put on some good music, or set up a little reward at the end. My head always feels clearer once I’ve taken care of necessary paperwork.

Funny, the only thing about which I DON’T procrastinate is photography but, then, it’s not a business. The business aspects of it I DO procrastinate about–like financial record-keeping. I like to think it would make a difference if I had some income from it.

Lydia’s right when she says: “Simply trying new things can stoke the fires of motivation for several days after the activity.” Those “new things” can be life-changing, although it may not feel like it at the time.

Odd to say, but I sometimes wish I could procrastinate. I can drive myself nuts by my frantic need to do something the very second I think of it. I’m neurotic like my dad on this aspect.

Through various things I’ve done this week, I learned that simply trying new things can stoke the fires of motivation for several days after the activity.

Just realized it sounds like I’m talking about something else;-)
