I’ve now been back on the writing track at my normal pace for two days, which is an encouraging sign. Of course, I did that last night be refusing to unpack until I was finished, and then when I was finished, I decided to watch Ghostbusters instead of unpacking. Hmm . . . Everyone needs some Ghostbusters, now and then. And it’s not like the boxes are going anywhere. I even found time yesterday to play outside with my son–all in the name of procrastination. Who said putting things off couldn’t be worthwhile?
If it weren’t for structured procrastination, I’d never get anything done. The key is always to have something that seems pressing (but isn’t) that you want to do *less* than all the other things you’ve been putting off. Then you can procrastinate and get things done all at once.
