What to do when there’s too much to do…
I have a stack of things I want to tackle that’s at least a foot high.
I have high priority, low priority, and just about every priority on the scale in between.
I KNOW that I should be working… but sometimes, when there’s so much to do, it’s way too easy to procrastinate. FreeCell looms large on my computer, begging me to cave in to the distraction. The latest bunch of books I bought at Amazon are whispering that they want to be read. Play some games, make some tea, fiddle with the Kindle, surf the web… all the distractions seem more appealing than my actual work.
So, what to do when there’s so much to do you’re procrastinating even starting?
- Recognize what’s happening.
- Deal with it.
- Force yourself to work.
Which is exactly what I’m going to do now.
Right after I make myself a cup of tea.
DOH!
