It's so easy just to say 'I'll do it tomorrow' or 'I'm just not in the mood today' and never get anything done. Tea and biscuits win the day more often than not!<br /><br />Kat - I don't think I could possibly set parental controls or anything like that to limit my procrastination. I couldn't do it! I think most of us feel like we waste a load of time and that everybody else must be working like demons whilst we potter about reading crap on the internet :-) But yes, a lot of my faffing is happy :-)Karen Cheunghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01162058505350255330noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2211285783434059218.post-58333856182352631522010-05-21T13:49:40.545+01:002010-05-21T13:49:40.545+01:00I feel like this on such a daily basis that yester...I feel like this on such a daily basis that yesterday I tried to apply parental controls to my mac to prevent me faffing and looking at certain websites at certain times.<br /><br />Unfortunately it only works on separate user accounts not the admin account so is naff all use.<br /><br />Am seriously thinking of switching to firefox and its "leechblock".<br /><br />Mind you, then I'll probably find something else to suck up time like a big fat whale.<br /><br />I don't think you should beat yourself up though. You do lots of cool things. Its not like every moment of every day has to be productive-faffing is great as long as its happy faffing not sad faffing (the latter being horrible).Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2211285783434059218.post-8485032581523063952010-05-21T12:29:33.854+01:002010-05-21T12:29:33.854+01:00Self motivation can be a scary thing sometimes.

When I sit down to write, I get so hung up on thinking "should be writing, should be writing something AMAZING" that I invariably panic and end up eating biscuits and drinking tea. I always imagine somebody is being far more productive and creative than I am, and it stifles me. That's on a bad day...some days are good though, too!<br /><br />I like your dolls. Some creepy masks in a grotesque, slightly Venetian masquerade sytle would be very cool!<br /><br />Have a good weekend x :)Laurahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02317869482609437332noreply@blogger.com
