Fold laundry. Clean the kitchen. Pack for a family trip. Water the almost dead plants on the back porch. Weed the flower bed. Mow the lawn. Write thank you notes to the kids who gave me end of year presents. Sort the coupons I clipped two weeks ago. Complete the security background information for the new job I was offered. Work on the draft of the article to pass on to my writing partner. Read the bedtime story I bought for the boys that is still on chapter 2...

hmmm...wonder what's been posted since the last time I hit f5 on offsprung?

Outside (in the heat) playing with the kid and LGB. But man, it's really freakin' hot out there.

My training document that was due last week. Sleeping. Laundry. Dishes piled up in the sink. Riding my bike. A shower.

Any of those things but Offsprung. Eh.

We procrastinate until we think we can shorten an unpleasant job to as short as possible. There's a pain/pleasure ratio that determines the optimal time to procrastinate a task.
