I need defragging

Thursday, July 19th, 2007

My ability to process anything is really piss poor right now… I seem to be in a perpetual state of distraction so that no project or activity gets the attention it requires. I really want to be able to launch my all new non-wordpress blog in time for the 5th aniversary of intepid/jujublog next month, but progress is unbelievably slow. I spend 10 minutes fiddling about and then become overwhelmingly tired and have to go to sleep.

Probably it’s also something to do with working full time as a programmer… that’s where all my creative energy is going right now, and it’s hard to do anything but laze about in my spare time, but I really want to get things done in my spare time as well, otherwise I feel guilty and annoyed because I am making no progress on my own projects. When I wasn’t working full-time I certainly procrastinated, but at least the procrastination would often involve starting whole new projects or being otherwise creative.

And so now in my spare time I mostly just download and watch TV, because it requires so little from me :)

    Hi, Mark, I’m a programmer too, rather busy at this moment, and I feel exactly the same way. When I return home, I sit and watch an episode of whatever TV series just finished downloading.
