Oh lordy, am I lazy.
The less I have to do, the less I get done.
Now, on the one hand: Duh! If I have two things to do I get fewer things done than if I have 8 things to do, but that’s not what I mean.
No, what I mean is: If you give me large amounts of time in which to accomplish a few tasks, I will. . . not accomplish them. This is less of a problem if I owe work to someone else, but if it’s just for me? Mmmm, no.
Classes begin this week, and while, yes, I have completed my syllabus for my bioethics class (updated, shifted a bit), I haven’t yet bothered to print it out, or to get my shit together for tomorrow.
Hey, that’s what the morning’s for.
And my other class, well, that one doesn’t begin until next week, so hey, I got a whole week to overhaul (as opposed merely to updating) the thing.
Deadlines, man, I need deadlines. Gimme a deadline and I’ll git ‘er done. No deadline, no dice.
Oh, to be self-starting and self-disciplined. . . !
