When I have important and tedious work to do, I get a lot done.
I clean.
I groom.
I look up all those things on the internet that I forgot to look up before--to find that they are inevitably the most important and interesting things in the world.
I do everything, apparently, but work.
So instead of trying harder to buckle down, I am just going to add to the list.
I have always liked the idea of blogging. I read a lot of blogs and appreciate it as new medium still working out its style and form. I want to play.
My other motivation for starting a blog is somewhat more sensible. I find that sometimes in order to write, you just have to start typing. That sounds retarded, I know, but I often find myself in an agonized and paralyzed state trying to find the perfect words in my head before I start. It feels like I have to search my entire mind to find that phrase which will act as a switch to let the rest of the words flow. So in a sense, this blog is just me up-ending my brain and searching for those words which will allow me to continue working on my PhD thesis.
And no, the title of my thesis in not "Advanced methods in time mismanagement and procrastination".
But given what I actually know and am actually good at, it probably should be.
