Procrastination, I haz it

Posted on June 24, 2011 by Trystan
Time

Gah, I’ve been SUCH a slacker this week. I have so much work to do on Leonard’s outfit, yet I utterly failed to work on it after Tuesday night. Partly, I blame illness, mostly, I blame laziness.

It’s worse than laziness, actually. It’s that horrible overwhelmed feeling I get when a project has so many moving parts and such a tight deadline, that I freeze up. I suddenly feel incapable of sewing or doing anything other than laying on the couch, flailing about. I avoid work by screwing around on the net, watching TV, playing games on my iPad, eating, drinking, sometimes even cleaning house! Just can’t bring myself to work on the dreaded project.

And, of course, this just puts me farther behind. *head-wall*

You’d think watching “The Aristocrats” on TiVo would have inspired me to sew this suit, but no. It inspired me to further laze on the couch.
