A deadline looms and you know you should be writing or doing edits but you suddenly find this insatiable desire to...Clean,
Iron,
Paint
Garden...anything but do the thing you are supposed to do.
Social media is checked more frequently. You end up disappearing down a Twitter rabbit hole.Get lost in Tik Tok (does anyone really understand that?)
Watch TED talks, Facebook Lives, check Instagram in case you've missed anything.
Update your website including recording those videos you've been promising yourself for ages.
Anything...but write or do those edits. You watch the clock, knowing the deadline is getting closer. But look there's a cobweb, you better get rid of it first. It'll only irritate you while you work.
Now you need a drink and something to eat. Perhaps you better have a wee before you sit down to
Tick tock, tick tock, tick tock tick tock.
It's too late to start them today. Start them first thing tomorrow. You'll have a clear head then.
And repeat
A deadline looms and you know you should be writing or doing edits but you suddenly find this insatiable desire to...
The world according to procrastination
