Procrastination

I have exactly 9.5 hours to finish up all the crap I need to do today (and for my class tomorrow) before I can start writing.

I need a list. Lists help me feel organized. Must prioritize:


Clear clutter off writing desk
Write out rent check
Pay college loans and other crappy bills
Balance checkbook
Finish and print application for full time teaching position at Rio Hondo College Almost done! Need Allison to take a look at my packet.
Wash 2 loads of laundry
Change bed sheets
Vacuum
Clean bathroom shower
Wash breakfast dishes
Read 4 essays from Reinhardt Reader Well, 3 out of 4 ain't bad! Probably won't have time for them all tomorrow anyway.
Read Chapter 8 of Composition Book
Think of a fun class activity using the essays and/or composition notes Punctuation BINGO, anyone?
Write lecture notes on index cards
Organize NaNo story cards Where the hell is my index card container?!
Separate recycling
Take out the trash

Okay, I don't know what to do first. I know people say start with the hardest thing first but for the sake of feeling productive, I'm going to get the little things done.

Hopefully I can make it by my deadline with energy to spare; I'm still sitting at the kitchen table when I should be...okay, okay--I'm going!

Edited: Crossing things off the list makes me feel productive!

Best Wishes!

To all those participating in NaNoWriMo--best wishes! Even if you aren't participating in NaNoWriMo this year, I wish all the writers on my friends list many great writing nights. We've all got respective projects/deadlines. Can you believe there are only two more months left in 2008?! Let's all make November COUNT! Woo-hoo!

I will be joining the South Bay residents of L.A. Write-In at Panera Bread & Bakery at the Carson Mall after work tomorrow, from 12:30-3:30 p.m. Bread, books, and writing make a great combination!
