option paralysis
Nov. 28th, 2002 12:26 pmToday is Boomtime, day 40 in the season of The Aftermath, 3268.
Ever have one of those times where you just have so much to do that you can't decide where to start and instead just sort of sit there, flapping your arms ineffectually? Yeah. That's me, right now. Gosh, I'm glad I got up early this morning so I could get stuff done. =)

Rules for Procrastinating
Date: 2002-11-30 10:57 am (UTC)1) Always make sure that you're enjoying yourself more than you would be if you were doing what you're putting off.
2) It you're doing nothing or in violation of Rule (1), then pick something you're in the mood to do and do it.
3) If you feel particularly ambitious, then decide whether you'll be better off in the long run by stalling (btw, the answer is yes more often than you might think -- some problems do go away on their own).
