Monday afternoon un-productivity thoughts

[owlectomy]

Escher Stairs of Executive Function:

You need to do Z. To do Z, you first need to do Y. To do Y, you first need to do X. To do X, you first need to do W. To do W, HEY IT'S SOMETHING SHINY. LOOK OVER THERE.

Paradox of Prioritizing:

You need to do deeply unpleasant task A. You don't. Tasks B, C, D, and E arrive, but as you look at them, you think "...Yeah, but what I REALLY need to do is A."

You continue to fail to do A.

And also B, C, D, and E, because A is more important.

I am not lining up for twelve hours to see Doctor Who tonight. Because I have better things to not do. But I did have a Sonic Screwdriver last night, so it's all good.
