Oops, I'm still awake. *&$%!!

I have to admit, I didn't get that much done tonight. Which is unfortunate. I might be changing my major again. This procrastination may very well be a subconscious block. If I'm this resistant to actually finishing all the artwork I owe... eh, it just doesn't bode well. Meanwhile my A+ writing project spilled out of my fingers, seven pages in like 2 nights. Plenty of problems though... and I had decided on the plot and done the research ages ago. and the whole reason I put myself through all this school trauma, desires to be a renaissance bitch aside, is so that I could have a career where I would make money, because we all know that graphic designers make money and novelists usually do not.

So what sucked me in was "just a few minutes" to organize my cds. I don't know if I mentioned it, but I bought a couple of 200-cd binders last week, and have been filling them slowly. Since they only hold 100-150 with booklets included, I'll probably need at least three of them (I have two). I ended up filling and arranging... well, a lot. More than I meant to, more than I should have, etc. There's still space left in both books, but not much. But the idea is to make my 400-ish collection take up a foot or so of shelf space rather than like three square feet of floor space. This solution seems like it may actually work. (Then I can be a DJ!. Not. I used to want to try DJing, but I was never in a position where I actually got to try it out.)

I've also been browsing some journals on LJ tonight, places I haven't checked in a couple of months, and man... talk about annoying. People I usually avoid. Morbid curiousity. You know the type. Total opposites of each other, but each totally strident and irritating and self-important. I don't miss my youthful strident days one little bit. I guess my self-important days will continue until I don't feel like saying shit like this.

Procrastination - ugh!

[fauxfille.livejournal.com]

I understand the procrastination thing. When I first was in school, about six years ago, it nearly finished me. I would worry and start on projects way too late. I don't know why the fear kept me frozen. But now, or in the last year and a half, I meet deadlines and actually plan ahead. I don't know if this helps you or if you have a similar problem, but I thought I would spill some words on the subject. I still get the rush and great sense of accomplishment from working on something for 16 hours straight. :) AH, well.

Take care,

Sometimes I do pull the 16-hours-straight thing, but more generally, I can't physically handle it. For me the challenge has been knowing when to quit... getting a good night's sleep instead of staying up to finish a project, that kind of thing. Cos if I stay up to finish something I usually just end up getting too sick to go to class, which puts me behind again.

I think a major thing is that I really need to have a clean house before school starts each semester... so that major cleaning projects don't distract me. Another is that I probably should not take night classes and day classes mixed... just days. The third is that I probably should spend less time online. ;)

Yes, yes, yes. The focus part is difficult. But you can do it. :)
