It’s amazing how appealing some tasks you might otherwise regard as rather unpleasant can seem when you have a project you can’t seem to get going on and you’re looking for yet another way to avoid it. When I was in grad school, the toilets were never so clean and the carpets never so vacuumed as when I had papers due.
All of which means I really need to get moving on this book chapter I’m supposed to be writing, but I’ll probably just have dinner with Mom and Dad and then do laundry tonight instead.
For me, that’s cleaning my office.
I should have said – cleaning my office is the thing I do when I’m avoiding other stuff.
I think I’ve been reorganizing my home office (and home in general) to avoid working on this thing for like three weeks now. At least I THINK that’s what I’m avoiding…
