Nuuu! I KNOW I’m stupid! I can see myself frittering away my time, thinking ‘wow I’m on the ball, I deserve a break’ AND ‘agh I’m not getting anything done, I should take a break’, even now I have things I SHOULD be doing. And I KNOW I’d enjoy them if I actually did them- I study science cos I love it, not cos I love putting it off. I know all the benefits, and they’re not even long term, mostly I get a high return on very little investment. There’s a little voice in me, screaming, and it can’t make me do anything. AGH. WHY STUPID THINGS WHY?
So I was hoping this was going to be some kind of terribly clever rationalist approach to productivity. Oh well, back to hitting myself over the head with a mallet.
