Productive Procrastinating
July 5, 2008 in Blogs
I did not really take today off. Despite it being Independence Day I had no barbecue, no fireworks, no celebration. I just never really got started. I poked at one thing or another, thinking that after I did this, or that, or whatever, I would turn to today’s work.
That is now technically yesterday’s work, and I have to be up in a few hours to start today. I am thinking that I will tackle today’s work, or yesterday’s, or whatever it is, tomorrow, or tonight, or whenever it will be.
However, my poking and prodding was not unproductive. I finished at least six scripts and started a seventh for the Quick Word radio show, and got two of them recorded–that is, two weeks worth of programs, four shows. The ones I recorded I did last night; the other five were done in bits and pieces today. I haven’t sent them yet (I want to give the snail mail message that the program is being continued time to reach the right department before I start transfering audio files to them), but progress is progress.
I could offer the excuse that I am a bit sore today. It comes from climbing around in the attic hauling down heavy and bulky audio equipment through a ceiling door down a stepladder. I did not get it working, but I know the first few diagnostic steps I need to make, and I should find time to make them eventually.
