True true — but also not exclusive to writers. My business school classmates used to joke about all the other tasks that looked really attractive when there was homework to do: cleaning the bathroom, going grocery shopping, anything but the thing you should be doing.

I loved an article on overcoming procrastination by Christine Kane that advocated, among other things, giving yourself permission to do it badly, taking advantage of small chunks of time and stopping asking how you feel about a task and just doing it.

I once told a published author "Oh, I can only write when the spirit moves me." She promptly replied "if you are serious, you will sit and attempt to write everyday."

Somebody said, "Just Start Writing."

It doesn't have to be profound, in fact it can be just plain gibberish.

It works every time I try it.

It's the "trying it part" that is just so hard to do….

This is so true. For me Wikipedia is bad news when i should be writing. It might start on an entirely relevant topic but it doesn't take too many clicks before you are reading about Papua New Guinian minority languages, the history of lolcats or the use of punctuation in metal band's names.

While I am not a writer in the true sense of the word, I am a Christian business woman who tries to use social networks and a blog to expand. I rarely get around to doing so. Thanks for a laugh and motivation to stop procrastinating so much. ish I was OCD about organization, now that would be WORTH putting my writing off to me since the longer I am in business (8 years online Bible sales now) the less paperwork I file, while my office looks out of order at all times! Thanks for the insight!
