This past weekend was a working weekend for me, and there were some types of work (that shall remain unnamed) that I really didn’t want to do. At one point, my mom called me. When she asked me what I was doing, I told her I was procrastinating. She said, “I can’t believe it. I’ve never known you to procrastinate before.” I then proceeded to tell her that I was procrastinating by being productive—just not on the one thing I needed to be productive on.<br /><br />I’ve always said the best way to get me to clean the house is to give me a writing deadline. =)<br /><br />But there’s something to the idea of using the urge to procrastinate to your advantage.
