Re: Battling Procrastination
Thank goodnes this is in TLDR ... I have something else to add:
I guess the thinking goes (for me) is that "If I can do all of this work in 5 straight hours, why sit around the office during the three days or so that it piles up? This is a winning philosophy.
HOWEVER, (and thus the problem) this is only in theory. If I was really enjoying the three-day accumulation and doing other positive things in my life, it would be a non-qualified winner. However, there are times when the "ramp-up" period is being used to mull over the work and the impending deadlines where 1) I am not enjoying myself and become a servant to the mythical pile of work; and 2) I don't do anyting productive with my time (yes, this would be a lazy time).
It is during these episodes that I wish that I was able to just do things 9 to 5 and thus leave my "free time" truely free.
