As a further exploration of a recent tweet inferring a slight problem with actually getting writing work done as of late...
When I absolutely cannot do whatever it is that needs to be done, I:
1) Practice for 8 hours straight, convincing myself I'm doing it for the betterment of humankind.
2) Make my bed obsessively, making sure all the corners are straight, the pillows are properly fluffed, and Mr. Brain is perfectly placed.
3) Go to an orchestra concert that was awesome, but did not help me meet my 5 PM-today deadline.
4) Blog, once again convincing myself I'm doing it for the betterment...
5) Search for the perfect apartment, in the perfect location, at the perfect price.
6) Talk to my cat about all of my problems.
7) Send a superfluous amount of emails to anyone and everyone.
8) Feel sorry for myself.
9) Tell myself to stop feeling sorry for myself.
10) Drink a lot of tea, the English Breakfast variety.
11) Tri-train - go to a pool across town, a different gym for Spinning, and a third gym for Flip Fitness, weights, and the dreaded treadmill.
12) Look at myself in the mirror, wondering...
13) Feel really cheesy for just writing that last line.
I'm running out of procrastination ideas though, and soon I'm going to be forced to actually do some freaking research and maybe even obliterate that stupid blank document that I honestly believe is purposely mocking me.

This is a genius post. Whoever denies that they identify with it is just plain lying.
may I add, "going to bed early with the intention of getting up early, citing the wonders of a good night's rest?"
Your procrastination is actually far more "productive" than mine... which consists of watching Law and Order on the internet while eating junk food. So, you've got that going for you :)
