Procrastination

The more work I have to do, the more papers I have to read, the more responsibilities I have... the more I procrastinate.

When I have a certain work related commitment (Eg: Assignments, exams, reports etc) I can find amusement in the smallest thing, take delight in the simplest thing, scream at the slightest problem and have a high tendency to learn a new skill.

If ever I get RSI, it's due to the constant finger stretch to hit the F5 button.
